What should people consider when booking a boat rental?

[macclarke]

I’m looking for advice on choosing a boat rental for summer outings or small group trips.

From your experience, what factors are most important to consider? For example:

Type and size of boats suitable for groups

Safety measures and local boating regulations

Weather considerations and seasonal planning

Maintenance, cleanliness, and reliability of providers

I’ve come across companies like Luxury Boat Rentals Muskoka, but I’m mainly seeking general guidance and real-world experiences
