Boat Demos



Pick a boat and come paddle with SUNTRAIL!

SUNTRAIL let's you try before you buy!
If you're thinking of buying a boat this year but just aren't sure which model would be right for you, then we invite you to take part in our free Boat Demo evenings held on the Sydenham River at the Harrison Park Extension in Owen Sound. Each evening we feature the boats of a different manufacturer, giving you the opportunity to compare features up close. You'll also be able to ask our helpful and knowledgeable staff any questions you might have, and have the chance to speak to the factory representative in person. But best of all you'll be able to take your favourite boats for a test ride on the river, to compare just how easily they paddle and handle. It's a great way to spend a spring evening, so we hope you can join us for one or more of the demos listed below.
(Please note: persons wishing to test boats on the water will be required to complete and sign a short waiver form.)
