## Quick answer

Local jet-ski rental operators have relocated to Lake Simcoe/Keswick or offer custom launches at alternative sites to avoid $2,500 bylaw fines.

## Detailed answer

Due to the new bylaw at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch, local jet-ski rental operators such as Rent Our Ski have been forced to relocate their commercial operations to alternative locations. Some operators have moved to Lake Simcoe/Keswick, while others offer specialized custom launches at sites like Scarborough Bluffs, Humber Bay, or Mississauga. The bylaw imposes a fine of $2,500 on commercial jet-ski operations at Ashbridges Bay, prompting the relocation. The alternative launch sites offer similar experiences, with Scarborough Bluffs providing a scenic launch with a 1.5 km stretch of Lake Ontario shoreline, Humber Bay offering a more secluded experience with a 2 km paddle to the open lake, and Mississauga providing easy access to the lake with ample parking facilities. Visitors can expect to pay around $100-$200 per hour for jet-ski rentals, depending on the operator and the type of equipment. It's recommended to book in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak season.
