The Short Term Boat Rental Agreement is essential for any boat rental transaction in Canada, whether for recreational or limited commercial use. This document is designed to comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including the Canada Shipping Act, Marine Liability Act, and relevant consumer protection legislation. It is typically used when a rental company or boat owner (Lessor) provides temporary access to a watercraft to an individual or organization (Lessee) for a defined period, usually ranging from a few hours to several weeks.
