(1) OTTAWA RIVER CHARTERS
Paul’s Boat Lines is pleased to offer its vessel, the "Paula D", for private charter. The Paula D is a two-storied vessel with a bar, small canteen and two washrooms.

The Paula D can accommodate up to 150 passengers.

A commentary can be provided at no extra cost.

We can board at either the Hull Marina or the bottom of the Ottawa Locks. We recommend the Hull Marina for easier access and parking.

It is possible to decorate within parameters approved by the boat line.

The client has the right to work with any catering service they may choose; however, the Elephant & Castle Pub and Resturant is the caterer we recommend. There is plentiful counter space for a buffet. There is fixed table seating on the lower deck for approximately 40-50 and, if necessary, table seating can be set up on the upper deck for an additional 60-80 guests.

Please feel free to call the office with any questions you may have.
