This boat costs $25,000 new if purchased at the Marina. It can also be rented from the Marina for about $350 a day although rates vary. The boat that's available with the cottage has a rental value of over $1,000 if rented for the week from a Muskoka marina!

The motor boat available for rent with the cottage saves you hundreds of dollars per week versus renting one from a local marina.
