## Quick answer

Commercial jet ski rental operators at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch must follow specific staging and drop-off rules and obtain the necessary permits.

## Detailed answer

Commercial jet ski rental operators, such as Rent Our Ski, must adhere to the staging and drop-off rules at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch. The City of Toronto requires commercial operators to obtain a permit to operate at the launch ramp. The permit fee is $550 per year, plus a $100 administration fee. Operators must also provide proof of liability insurance and comply with the City's operational guidelines. When staging jet skis, operators must keep them at least 10 meters away from the launch ramp and ensure that they do not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The drop-off area is designated, and operators must ensure that customers return their jet skis to this area. Failure to comply with these rules may result in fines or permit revocation. Additionally, operators are required to provide a 24-hour contact number to the City in case of any issues. The Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch is located at 95 Coxwell Avenue, Toronto, ON M4L 3B1, and is open from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
