Rental boat safety checklists:

A rental boat safety checklist is a ready-to-use safety briefing. Rental agencies use the checklist to review safety information with clients before they head out onto the water. Clients check the boxes on the list to confirm they have understood each item.

Checklists include information on boat operation, boating safety rules, local hazards, and what to do in an emergency. Safety checklists are available for many different kinds of boats and personal watercraft.

Anyone operating a power-driven boat in Canada must carry proof of competency while on board. Your completed rental boat safety checklist is considered proof of competency.

Please note there are two different Rental Boat Safety Checklists shown below. If you are renting our Alumaweld Free Drifter or Alumaweld Super Vee you will need to look at the Wheel-Steered checklist. If you are renting our Spratley, River Hawk Pro-V or Alaskan Smoker Craft you will need to look at the Tiller-Steered checklist.
