What visitors say
Bayside Rentals rents pontoon boats, other powerboats and Sea-Doos in Blind Bay on Shuswap Lake. Many reviewers are repeat customers who come back every summer, and several say it's the best rental outfit they've used on the lake or in the Okanagan.
The family behind it gets constant praise for being friendly and down to earth, and for walking renters through operation and safety. Boats are described as spotless and near new, pricing as fair, and pickup and return as quick. They have fit in last-minute bookings, including one family whose plans elsewhere fell through, and one group brought their small dogs along.
It suits families and multi-generational groups spending a day or two on the lake, and vacation rental owners nearby send guests here. Water toys are available to add to a boat day.
The only serious complaint is five years old: a renter said a Sea-Doo flipped with kids aboard and blamed a faulty machine. Listen to the safety briefing and ask questions before heading out.
