Highly recommend going with Kelowna Boat Charters!! We had the pontoon boat with Richard. The boat was so clean and absolutely stunning. Richard was professional and made us feel very safe while also helping us to enjoy and explore. Thank you guys for the wonderful experience!

Awesome people with a great location but the only downfall was the boats are outdated and old. Some pontoon even have carpet.

Thanks for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the team and our location! We appreciate the honest input on our boats. While some do have a more classic layout, we’re always working to update and improve our fleet based on guest experience. Hope to have you back again for another great day on the water.

Our group is still talking about how fantastic our rental was over the long weekend. We got a pontoon charter and Jake was our driver and we LOVED him. He was what made the experience so great. He was patient and fun and even got a new ladder delivered to us in the middle of the lake since the one was missing from the boat. He did an amazing job putting up with a bunch of women LOL. Thanks again Jake!!!

Love hearing this, Cortney! Sounds like your crew made the most of the long weekend, and we’re so glad the charter hit the mark. Jake will be pumped to hear the shoutout—he’s a pro at keeping things fun. Thanks again for choosing us, and we’d love to have your group back anytime!

We had a fabulous time on the Bennington 22 SVSR for 4 hours, with Richard as our captain. It was lovely to select the charter add-ons directly from the booking page. We chose the 2 person tube and our daughter was thrilled! Since we were only a party of three, a charter was definitely the way to go! Richard was fantastic! He explained the areas around Kelowna as we cruised around and made the whole experience really laidback and relaxing. Our daughter had her first wipeout off a tube (requested) and squealed with delight the whole time. She said Richard tipping her off was the highlight of our trip to Kelowna! Definitely would book again and recommend to others. Such a lovely family experience.

There’s just something about tubing that turns a lake day into a core memory—no matter your age! We love that your daughter’s wipeout was the highlight of your trip (Richard will get a kick out of that). So glad the Bennington and the charter setup worked well for your family. Thanks for the thoughtful review and recommendation, we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for round two!

Our family rented a pontoon / party boat on our annual week long trip to Kelowna. Sadly the weather didn’t turn out for the day we selected and the voyage didnt last as long as expected. The way the situation was handled we appreciated. They were able to refund our booking and were very apologetic for something they couldn’t control. Definitely a family run business where they care and we will be sure to book with them in the future and hope for less wind and more sun! Thanks Johnny

Thanks so much, Brad. We really appreciate your understanding—weather days are always tough, but it means a lot to hear the way it was handled made a difference. We do our best to take care of our guests, and we're looking forward to welcoming your family back next time (with calmer skies and sunshine, we hope!).

Amazing experience 10/10 will recommend to all our friends. It was super easy to book through their website. Instructions were very clear on where to meet them. The boat was in water and ready to go when we arrived and the staff was super friendly. We had a great day on the lake! Their communication is prompt and amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend

Very friendly staff and great boats. We chartered Avalon 2785 for our group. It was totally worth it. The upper deck has a nice view. It's big and comfy. Johnny is a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the grate experience! The only thing I don't understand, is the fuel price with $2.59 rate, that seems extremely high. So if you looking to improve the service, please consider. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Hey Dmytro, thank you so much for your awesome review and feedback! Gas on the water is more expensive than gas on land. We charge our customers the same gas prices that marinas charge ($2.59/L at the Downtown Marina last we checked). Your input is super valuable to us, so we will see how we might be able to bring our gas prices down in the future since we try to make getting on the water as affordable as possible for our customers. We hope to have you back on the water with us soon and thanks again!
