The Activity

Coached by a pro.

This isn't a buddy with a boat. It's a private lesson with Ottawa's most experienced waterski coach — and a promise: you'll ride on your first attempt, or your follow-up session is on us.

Good to Know
What if it rains? For normal lessons, light rain is OK, and the coach has final say on weather conditions. However, we want your date night to be perfect so we will accept postponements at your request. Heavy rain, thunder, or unsafe wind = we reschedule, no penalty.
First time skiing?Perfect. We have taught hundreds of first-timers, if not over a thousand. We'll start with basics, take it slow, and build confidence.
Dietary restrictions?Mention them when you book — all three dinner options can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, or other needs with notice.
Special occasion?Engagement, anniversary, birthday — let us know. We can help add a personal touch (flowers, a card, a playlist)
Why does Friday or Saturday cost more?Friday and Saturday are peak demand evenings. Bookings on those nights are +$50 flat. Sunday through Thursday are full price as listed on each dinner card.
Location? Various spots along the Rideau River, Manotick, Riverside south, Barrhaven, Kemptville, Kars and more have great staging areas depending on your package. Address and dock details sent on confirmation.
