Got a Groupon to rent the power boat for 1.5 hours. $75 for a 2 person boat and $95 for a 5 person boat. I would definitely recommend the 5 person boat even if you are only 2 people. The reason is the boat is much more spacious, and it will allow for better pictures!!! The staff are friendly and informative. The boat ride on the lake is so awesome! You get to ride pass center island and see a point of view you never seen before. There's a speed limit on the inner harbour. And a no wake zone around the island, so you can't go very fast. But other areas on the lake you can go faster but there's still a limit on the boat. Go try it! It's fun and memorable. read more

I've rented their small speedboats quite a few times in the past and once this year. The website mentions that "Our fleet is in great shape...". Well I haven't come across that fleet yet. I'm not sure why I keep coming back here, if it wasn't for my little nephew, I wouldn't. The boats are crap and not well maintained. Slow speed I can understand but I have yet to sit in one of their F13 motor boats that didn't want to, or that didn't die in the middle of the lake. Last time I rented for an hour, they had to come and get me because they didn't put enough gas. Not bad if everything is working fine but take your cell phone with you in case you get stuck in the middle of the lake! Positive: If you don't have one, you don't require a boating license. read more

We used a Groupon for a 90 minute rental of the Paradise F13 Mini Powerboat ($69). Normally it's $69 for just 60 minutes. It was really a lot of fun. We got a map and was free to go anywhere in the inner harbour and through the Toronto islands. 1.5 hours seems like much but it's not because once you enter Toronto islands, it's a "no wake" zone. Here you have to slow down the speed of the boat to a walking pace. Overall this was a lot of fun. It's good for a date or hanging out with a friend as it fits two adults. It gives you an excellent view of the Toronto skyline. Great for photographers. TIPS: Call in ahead of time to make reservations. $500 damage deposit. Come 15 minutes before your time to go through safety video and additional instructions/rules, signing agreement forms, and grabbing your life jackets. It's important to not be late as it may cut through your time! read more

If you're looking for staff that is rude and does the bare minimum and no more you found the right place. Disregarded our concerns in a condescending and patronizing manner. Ruined what might have been a good experience. Do not recommend. read more

I took their basic dinghy course. It is well priced. And you learn how to sail. Its actually really fun when you get the hang of it and there is wind. They have new catamarans, we sailed and their picos. Get 10% off their courses with the WE card!! read more

I bought the groupon for this F13 powerboat experience. I have to say it's really FUN and I highly recommend it as a dating plan. You won't regret it! There are more pictures and info on my blog: http://torontoparadise.blogspot.ca/2012/09/f13-powerboat-harhourtfront-center.html read more

No issues at all, got the Groupon for the mini powerboat for 90 minutes. All the staff we dealt with were very pleasant, polite, and talkative. We booked in advance, they accepted our international drivers' licenses and allowed us to pay the damage deposit with credit, debit, or cash, which is appreciated as we don't like credit cards. We then filled in a short declaration for our temporary boating licenses and watched a short video, then got our life jackets, went to the boat and off we went. The boats are OK, not amazing, but not bad. The harbour is limited to 6mph anyway and the islands are a no wake zone. We didn't have any problems with it, it worked fine and they're surprisingly comfy. All in all, a fun trip out, I'd recommend. read more

We used a Groupon 90 minute rental voucher. It use to be 2 hours but they increased the price slightly and shortened the time. Would have preferred if they reverted back to 2 hours at a higher price. Boats are old, smelly and very slow. None of the switches worked for the lights and horn. You will need more than an hour and a half to cover the inner harbour at a leisurely pace. Just felt very rushed during the entire excursion. read more

I agree with the previous post. The mini speedboat F13 are not well maintained. The steering slanted to the left and we had to hold it this way to go straight. For a taste of maneuvering on lake Ontario at about 8km/h without high expectations it's worth a try - I guess. Be sure to choose a time where there aren't too many boats out the island will be less congested. It would help if the registration staff was more friendly. To be fair, a few of them were helpful when checking in. When leaving we got an earful from the "green girl" who screamed and scolded us for being late when we came back at the time we were told by the other staff - so NOT our fault. Making a mediocre experience end on a very negative note. read more

My girlfriend and I had a great time renting the small powerboat and the price was very affordable. The people working here are very accommodating and friendly. We look forward to coming back again. read more

Do not give them your money!! If i could rate it zero stars I would. The manager should be fired for providing such a low level of customer service. They do not honor their promotions. The boats are garbage. Do not a buy a groupon for them because they will make up their own rules and rip you off. This is a rip off..!!! Many other have told me the same thing. Some rented a boat only to be stranded in the middle of the lake. I have never heard one good thing about this place. read more

I had a horrible experience. The staff didn't provide us with proper instructions and were extremely rude. I slightly dragged my boat to a bigger one that was parked there when I was taking the boat back to the dock... nothing really happened... there was maybe a slight black mark left from the plastic that had scratched that boat (which could have been easily removed) and they told me that I'd be charged more than $200. My concern wasn't the fee (which of course didn't seem reasonable to me considering that it wasn't anything serious, and I don't even know if it was really done by me since it was at a level higher than what the boat I was on could hit...), but the problem was the staff who were very rude and disrespectful, and continuously insulted me. I would never go back there! Horrible experience. Here's is the evidence for my concern: https://gripevine.com/sites/default/files/gripevine_documents/%5Buid%5D/Powerboat_Damage.pdf read more
