Quick Answer
How much does it cost to rent a Sea-Doo in Quebec?
Renting a personal watercraft typically runs $100 to $175 for one hour, and $300 to $500 for a full day, depending on the model and region — popular boating destinations like the Laurentians or the Eastern Townships often charge a bit more. The [PCOC](/guides/sea-doo/seadoo-license-quebec) is mandatory to rent, regardless of age, and the operator must be at least 16.
Renting a personal watercraft is a popular summer activity in Quebec, whether for a first-time experience or to enjoy a body of water without owning your own Sea-Doo.
This guide covers real pricing by duration, the required documents, and the option Groupe Contant actually offers while you decide on a purchase.

What to Know Before Renting
- The Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) — mandatory for every operator, regardless of age or experience.
- The minimum age of 16 — absolute, no exception, even under adult supervision.
- A photo ID and a credit card for the security deposit.
- A life jacket — mandatory and usually provided by the outfitter.
- A safety briefing — most outfitters offer a short briefing before you head out, especially useful for a first-time operator.
