ABOUT US
Welcome to Sarnia Boat Charters and Services! We're Robbie and Nikki Gilpin - passionate boaters who fell in love with life on the water.
Our journey began in 2015, boating out of Sarnia, Ontario, with our young family. From the start, we were hooked - the freedom, the connection, the unforgettable memories. We loved exploring the beautiful waters around us.
Family adventures took us to Cedar Point and the North Channel, while adult getaways brought us to Put-In-Bay, Cleveland, and Geneva-on-the-Lake. Most recently, we embarked on an incredible 35-day journey from Sarnia through the Erie Canal and New York, all the way down the Atlantic Coast to the Florida Keys.
After years of unforgettable boating experiences on Ontario’s Blue Coast, we're excited to share the magic with you. Come aboard and see why this region holds such a special place in our hearts.
Experienced. Passionate. Local.
Join us - and start your own adventure.
What to Bring Aboard

Towels - for drying off after a swim or just relaxing on deck
-
Warm clothing - weather can shift quickly on the water
-
Sunscreen - please avoid spray types to protect our boat surfaces
-
Sunglasses - to shield your eyes from the glare off the water
