Buffalo reviews.

September, 2022

Marawan was an amazing host and we had a great time renting the boat from him. We couldn't provide the boating license because of a technical issue and Marawan was very accommodating and became the captain for the duration of the boat rental at last minute's notice and saved the day for us. I would highly recommend renting with Marawan as you would have a great overall experience.

September, 2021

Marawan was an absolute pleasure. I booked him for a 1.5 hour slot in the evening. He was available for so many questions that I had concerning safety, scheduling (I booked this for myself, two other adults and two small children). He was incredibly sweet and accommodating the whole way through. Absolute 11/10 across all parameters --- you will have a pleasant, organized, clean, safe and enjoyable experience guaranteed.

It was one of the best experiences of my life.. the boat was in good condition and the ride was beautiful, comfortable and memorable. It was great fun and a perfect birthday celebration. A special mention for Marawan.. he is very friendly and a real gem of a person..

We booked a 3-hour boat ride with Marawan and despite the gloomy day, we made the best out of it! Marawan was quick to reply, professional and really chill, so it made the experience comfortable and fun. Marawan always made sure we were okay and he took us around the Hamilton bridge to see more than just Bronte Beach Park. We highly recommend Marawan if you’re looking for a boat ride!

I will definitely be a repeat customer. Beautiful experience with the wind in the sails and the silence on the water. If you want to enjoy the scenic views of nature then there is nothing better than riding over the water using only the wind. David made it easy for the whole family.

August, 2023

Captain Robert and Shannon were incredible hosts on a true highlight of the summer! Celebrating a bachelorette party on board was the perfect day activity with terrific amenities and service. We will 100% be booking again with Captain Robert. Thank you so much for such a fabulous day!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a boat club.

Carefree Boat Club is a private club. This means that our boats are only available to Members. We do not rent or charter our boats. Our members are the only ones with unlimited access to the fleet and they  never pay a fee to use the boats .

Is It Truly "Unlimited?"

Yes! Members have true unlimited access to boats.  Boat as much as you like .    

Is It Worth The Price?

It really is. With membership as little as 1/3 cost of owning a boat, you can cross numerous expenses off your list such as: boat purchase, slip fee, insurance, maintenance, repairs, taxes, towing and winterization.

How Does The Training Work?

All members get as much training as they need on and off the water. "On The Water" training is done with a certified instructor. Training covers CBC processes, general navigation, docking and safety.

How Soon Can I Get On The Water?

After joining, new members (without boating experience) can normally be boating within days of joining. If you have previous boat training, you can be on the water even sooner.

Are The Boats Well-Maintained?

Absolutely, in fact, all boats are inspected weekly by the CBC dock staff using a 50 point checklist of safety equipment, hull condition, electronics, and general mechanical items.
