About
Yachtsea Water Sports operates out of Humber Bay in Etobicoke, offering a range of water activities including jet ski rentals, yacht charters, wakeboarding, tubing, and water skiing. For families, this is a premium water sports provider that delivers high-energy lake experiences.
The jet ski rentals are the most popular family option. Teens who meet the age requirement can drive with a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, while younger teens can ride as passengers behind an adult. The Humber Bay launch point puts you on calm water with easy access to the open lake, and the western waterfront views are different from what you'd see downtown.
For a more relaxed family experience, their yacht outings take you cruising on Lake Ontario with the skyline views without anyone getting wet (unless they want to). Tubing and wakeboarding options are available for families with athletic older kids who want a real thrill.
All equipment, safety gear, and instruction are provided. Staff are experienced and emphasize safety, which matters when you've got teens on jet skis. The facility is well-organized with a clear booking system and on-time launches.
This is a premium-priced activity. A family outing with multiple water sports can easily run $300-$500. But for a special occasion — a birthday, last day of summer, or visiting relatives — it creates memories that justify the cost.
The Humber Bay location on Brookers Lane is accessible by car with free parking. It's a bit removed from downtown, which means less boat traffic on the water. After your session, the Humber Bay Park area has waterfront trails for a post-activity walk.

Why Kids Love It
The combination of speed and water is irresistible for teens. Whether it's jet skiing, tubing, or riding in a yacht across the lake, the experience feels like a vacation. The views of the Toronto skyline from the water make every photo look incredible.
