The couple were last seen having a meal in a local restaurant on Wednesday night and the alarm was raised when a relative was unable to contact with the man.
Gardaí said that the man's body was located in the river close to the hired boat at around 2pm, and the woman's body was later recovered.
The bodies have been removed to Sligo University Hospital and a post-mortem examination will be carried out on Monday.
Gardaí said that at this stage the deaths are being treated as accidental.
