Rental Rates
The UBC Boathouse event philosophy is based on the belief that planning events with us should be a seamless and enjoyable process. To ensure this, one of our values is transparency which means that we are committed to providing all the fees associated with events up front so that no one is surprised at any point in the process.
Please note: insurance is required. We will provide you with a quote from our insurance provider along with your contract. You are welcome to simply book that insurance through us or through your own insurance provider if your company already has coverage. If you wish to use your own coverage, we require a proof of insurance no later than 30 days prior to your rental in order to waive the quoted policy.
