CPS Vessel Courtesy Checks – Would you bet $200?

Vessel Courtesy Check

That’s the minimum cost of a fine for not having the required safety equipment in good working order on your boat. Let CPS-ECP volunteers help you beat the odds.

CPS-ECP will check your boat for free; if you have everything you need, you’ll get a Safety Inspection Sticker*.

If you don’t have everything… they will explain exactly what you should have on board so you can be sure to win that bet.

And once you are boating safely, you’re not just saving at least $200 – you could be saving your life.

A+ for Aquanaute’s 2012 Rendez-vous Nautique

The 9th edition of the annual Rendez-Vous Nautique earned once again an A+ note.

The event organizers, Aquanaute Training Centre, were delighted with this year’s overall attendance of over 100 boats, which makes this event still the most popular in its kind in Quebec. The Rendez-Vous Nautique is held once a year for pleasure craft operators – motor boats, sailing boats, PWCs, canoes, kayaks and all other types of vessels – who join the celebration from all parts of Quebec and, for the first time, even from Ontario.

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
