Legend Boats and Boatopia Announce Partnership to Revolutionize Boat Rentals in Canada
SUDBURY, ON – Legend Boats, a leading Canadian recreational boat manufacturer, has joined forces with Boatopia, an innovative boat rental platform, to make boating more accessible than ever before. This strategic partnership aims to provide individuals with an opportunity to experience the joy of boating by offering convenient and affordable boat rentals at Legend Boats’ three locations: Whitefish, Ontario; Innisfil, Ontario; and Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, Québec.
The partnership between Legend Boats and Boatopia was born out of a mutual desire to address the growing demand for flexible boating options. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive boat rental solution, Legend Boats embarked on a quest to find the ideal platform. Their search led them to Boatopia’s developers, with whom they crafted a shared vision for a user-friendly platform that would simplify the boat rental process.
For Legend Boats, this collaboration represents an opportunity to cater to individuals who aspire to enjoy the boating lifestyle but may not yet be ready to invest in purchasing a boat. By offering boat rentals through Boatopia, Legend Boats aims to remove barriers to entry and allow more people to experience the exhilaration of being out on the water. The ultimate hope is that customers who rent boats through Boatopia will develop a love for boating and consider purchasing a boat from Legend Boats in the future.
Boatopia, launching with Legend Boats as its first partner, envisions providing a seamless rental experience for customers across Canada. By partnering with one of Canada’s top recreational boat manufacturers, Boatopia gains access to a substantial market from day one. Boatopia’s intuitive online platform allows users to easily book boat rentals, eliminating the complexities and financial burdens typically associated with boat ownership. Users can book their boat online today and embark on their boating adventure as early as tomorrow.
Commenting on the partnership, Kayleigh Santi, Boatopia’s Club Manager, said, “Legend has always tried to offer the most affordable and value-packed boat packages in Canada. By partnering with Boatopia, they’re continuing the tradition of lowering the barriers to entry. Now anyone can enjoy a weekend on the water, without worrying about financing and servicing. Simply book online, show up on the first day of your rental, and drive off after a short orientation with us. It’s that simple.”
Expressing excitement about the collaboration, Jamie Dewar, co-CEO of Legend Boats, stated, “We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership. We’ve long wanted to get into boat rentals, but the existing solutions were all too expensive, too complex, and lacked the simple experience that our customers have come to expect from Legend Boats. By partnering with Boatopia, customers can literally book online today and go boating tomorrow. It’s really incredible what the Boatopia team has put together.”
Jesse Davis, Legend Boats’ Director of National Sales, added, “We’re always striving to drive down the costs associated with boating. We live to deliver great value at an affordable price. With Boatopia, we’re looking forward to seeing an explosion of people on the water who wouldn’t have otherwise been able to make those memories.”
Legend Boats, established in 1984, has solidified its position as one of Canada’s top recreational boat manufacturers. With nearly 60 independently owned dealerships nationwide, Legend Boats is renowned for its value-packed boat packages that cater to a diverse range of boating enthusiasts.
Boatopia, founded in 2023, aims to facilitate seamless boat rentals between dealerships, marinas, and customers. Their innovative online platform revolutionizes the boat rental experience by offering a simple, user-friendly interface that allows individuals to easily book their desired boat and embark on their boating adventure.
Boat rentals through Boatopia are now available, allowing individuals to explore the beauty of the waterways without the commitment of boat ownership. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a fishing excursion, or a family outing, Boatopia’s platform opens doors to unforgettable experiences on the water.
