Police say both individuals were wearing personal floatation devices and were taken back to shore.
Provincial police say marine unit officers patrolled waterways over 41 hours during the weekend, charged two operators for not having sufficient life jackets onboard for all occupants, and educated nearly 20 others on water safety.
"Wearing your lifejacket while on the water, especially now even though the warm days of summer are upon us, will increase your chances of survival if you should go overboard into cool water," OPP stated.
