Okanagan Vacationers: Why a Watercraft Rental is a Must
Rent a boat during your next trip to Kelowna and discover the Okanagan from a whole new viewpoint.
Your bags are packed, and you’re on your way to one of the sunniest places in BC: the Okanagan. When you booked your accommodations in Kelowna, did you book a speedboat rental too? Besides giving you the ability to live like a local while on vacation, you’ll also get the chance to explore the valley from a completely new vantage point.
If you didn’t line up a boat rental, here are all the reasons why you may want to reconsider.
Experience It All, and Then Some!
Okanagan Lake stretches from the south end of Vernon all the way to the northern tip of Penticton. That’s 135 kilometres of lake perfect for exploring. You can cruise around looking for a spot to picnic, play, sightsee, or just float.
If you’ve never seen Kelowna by boat, you’re truly missing out. There are so many different places to explore that are easily accessible by boat.

Pick Your Ideal Watercraft Rental
Picture yourself cruising along the Okanagan shoreline with the sun hot on your shoulders. Or imagine your kids squealing with delight from the tube attached to the back of the boat as you pull them around the lake. You may even see yourself skimming across the lake on your Sea-Doo rental, enjoying the cooling mist on your face.
The adventure options on the lake are absolutely endless, which is why there are so many different rental options to take advantage of.

Rent for an Hour or a Month
Depending on how long your vacation in the Okanagan is booked for, you can take advantage of an hourly, daily, or multi-day boat rental. This makes it really easy to find the perfect rental for your needs. Just keep in mind that the longer you rent a boat for, the bigger the discount.

Utilize Conveniently-located Moorage Options
