A captained boat rental and charter in Kelowna for tubing, wakeboarding, wake surfing and cruises on Okanagan Lake, highly rated for its owner and captains, though a few serious complaints stand out.
WildWake Boat Rentals takes groups out on Okanagan Lake with a captain at the wheel, for tubing, wakeboarding, wake surfing or simply cruising. The owner, who often captains himself, is named in a large share of reviews for being friendly, laid-back and good with kids and first-timers.
Reviewers praise the coaching: beginners get tips for getting up on a board, and captains know where the good spots are. Groups have stopped at a winery, hiked on Rattlesnake Island and visited a lakeside tiki bar. The boats are described as clean and comfortable, with one fitting seven people easily, and many reviewers found prices fair. Rain delays were handled by rescheduling on the same day, including a night cruise for a bachelor party.
It suits bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays and family outings. Last-minute bookings have often been accommodated, and one jet ski renter whose trip was cut short by wind got make-up time the next day.
Among the few negative reviews, one older renter reported a boat with a broken sound system and gauges, another said an agreed refund never arrived, and a more recent reviewer described an injury incident and raised concerns about insurance. These are exceptions, but it's sensible to confirm cancellation terms and insurance coverage in writing before paying a deposit.
