## Quick answer

As of 2026, commercial jet-ski rentals are banned from operating out of public boat ramps and beaches like Ashbridges Bay and Woodbine in Toronto.

## Detailed answer

The City of Toronto has implemented new regulations effective January 1, 2026, banning commercial jet-ski rentals from operating out of public boat ramps and beaches, including Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch and Woodbine Beach. This decision aims to reduce noise pollution and enhance safety in these areas. As a result, commercial jet-ski rental operators will be required to relocate to alternative sites. Lake Simcoe has been identified as a potential relocation area, offering a more suitable environment for jet-ski activities. Operators found violating these regulations will face fines of up to $2,500. The city has announced plans to enhance monitoring and enforcement at affected sites to ensure compliance. Residents and visitors are advised to check for updated information on permitted jet-ski rental locations and to be aware of the new regulations to avoid penalties. The relocation is expected to be completed by March 31, 2026, with a grace period for operators to adjust to the new rules until June 30, 2026.
