What visitors say
Captain's Cove Marina is a full-service marina on Shuswap Lake. The slips and grounds are private and gated for members, but the gas dock is open to anyone on the water, and the marina rents pontoon boats and jet skis to the public. Fuel is premium only, and the dock shop stocks snacks, drinks and boating odds and ends.
The owners and staff come up in almost every review. Boaters describe the fuel attendants as friendly, and several recall the team helping when a boat wouldn't restart at the dock, including a mechanic who traced one fault to a loose ignition wire in minutes. Renters say pontoons are in good shape and fairly priced, and one first-time jet skier had a smooth ride.
It suits families renting a pontoon for a few days of lake life, and boaters who want a well-kept slip, launch and seasonal service. Several regulars say fuel prices are among the best on the lake.
Most reviews are a few years old, and one visitor said the listed phone number didn't work. One reviewer reported a run-in with a large roaming dog on the property. Confirm rental availability directly before driving out.
