WetRentals

05/12/2026

Huge update day at WetRentals.

We've been heads-down rebuilding the rental experience for renters AND hosts. Here's what's new:

- 💰 Lower fees - more money stays in your pocket

- 📅 Payment Plans - split your rental into instalments at checkout

-⚡ Instant Book - confirmed in seconds, no waiting around

- 🔁 Host controls - hosts can now cancel or reschedule when life happens

- 📝 Reviews on listings - see what other boaters thought before you book

- 🔍 Search Transparency - redesigned listing cards with host ratings, Super Captain & Instant Book badges, and a "New" tag for fresh listings

- 🎁 Returning Renter Discount - 10% off your next booking, just for coming back (as long as you brought the boat back in one piece 😉)

And the biggest announcement of all... we're trialing Memberships. ⭐

For one upfront fee, members can rent a qualifying boat in the Ottawa–Rideau Lakes area as often as they like all summer long (some conditions apply). We're opening just 5 spots per tier for the 2026 season as a trial.

Boat season is around the corner. We're making it easier, fairer, and more flexible for everyone on the water.

Rent boats and Seadoos free all summer on the Ottawa–Kingston corridor. Five founding spots for 2026. Pay in full or over 3–4 monthly installments.
