2010 Four Winns 18ft - Enjoy a Boat rental at its best!
We had an incredible day on Okanagan Lake thanks to Cristian. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat was in excellent condition—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. If you're looking for a reliable, top-quality boating company in Kelowna, this is the one to choose. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you for making our day on the lake unforgettable!

Pontoon Rental Kale Lake, Woods Lake and or Okanagan Lake
5 Stars! Two thumbs up! if we had a third, Trevor would get that too! Trevor is absolutely amazing! The pontoon boat was beautiful, super clean, and well maintained. We were lucky to have Trevor himself, the owner, as our captain and it was the best decision ever! Born and raised in Kelowna, he knows every beach, viewpoint, and story in the area. We had an incredible time sightseeing, swimming, and learning about the local spots. One of the best parts? We stopped at a place that felt like our own private beach to jump in the lake!! it was unreal! We even grilled right on the boat, and Trevor went above and beyond by taking over the cooking for us. And the highlight? Tubing! The kids said it was the best boating experience they’ve ever had! and we totally agree. By the end of the trip, we truly felt like Trevor was family. Hands down, an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend!

Chartered 36' Yacht Tour on Okanagan Lake Kelowna
We had the best time renting a yacht with Captain Ron in Kelowna this weekend! From start to finish, everything was smooth and so much fun. The boat was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the lake. Highly recommend this experience if you’re in Kelowna, worth every penny. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re in town!
