OKGN Boat Rentals Inc.
A captained boat charter company on Okanagan Lake out of Kelowna, BC, known for patient wake surf coaching, friendly captains and prices reviewers call some of the best value around.
What visitors say
OKGN Boat Rentals runs captained boat outings on Okanagan Lake from Kelowna. Rather than handing over the keys, the company puts a captain behind the wheel, and reviewers say that's a big part of the appeal: you get the lake, the toys and the views without having to drive or dock the boat yourself.
Every one of its reviews is five stars, and the captains get most of the credit. Guests describe them as easy-going, safety-minded and good company, and several beginners say they got up on a wakeboard or wake surf board for the first time with the captain's coaching. One surfer noted the driver circled back close every time they fell, so there was barely any swimming. The owner handles bookings and is repeatedly described as responsive, flexible and clear about what's included.
Trips range from a few hours of wake surfing to evening tours and lake cruises, and one group was taken across to a winery on the south side of the lake. Families with young kids, birthday groups and groups of 15 have all written about good days out. Tubing and other water toys come out on request, and guests mention being allowed to plug in their own music.
There's very little to flag. Weather is the main variable: one group had their outing called off for wind and was offered a reschedule, which they appreciated. Book ahead in summer, and ask about group size and trip length when you reserve.
