Penticton Boat Rentals
A boat and kayak rental outfit in Penticton, BC with friendly staff, well-kept boats and on-site safety training for renters without a boating card.
What visitors say
Penticton Boat Rentals rents boats and kayaks for days on the Okanagan and Skaha lakes. Repeat customers say it's the only place they'd rent from in Penticton, and the high rating backs that up.
Staff are described as friendly, professional and good at explaining things, and boats are reported to be clean and running well. If you don't hold a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, staff run a safety briefing and issue a temporary licence, which takes extra time. One boater who had their card said the paperwork went quickly because of it.
Groups have used the boats for tubing, cruising the lake and, in one case, running all the way up to West Kelowna. Kayakers also report good service, with properly sized life jackets and patient answers to questions.
Complaints are few. One group was let down when the boat's Bluetooth speaker wouldn't pair. One reviewer's tip: go early in the morning, when the lake stays quiet until about noon even on summer weekends, and arrive early if you need the licensing session.
