There’s nothing quite like spending a day on Okanagan Lake, but choosing the right rental boat can make or break your lake day. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing cruise, high-energy watersports, or a luxury experience, Lakefront Sports offers a wide variety of options to fit every group and occasion. Here’s how to pick the perfect boat rental for your adventure.
Group Size: Who's Coming?
One of the first things to consider is how many people you’ll have on board. We have options to fit everything from couples to large groups:
• Small groups (up to 7 passengers): A great option would be the nimble Sea Ray with Wake Tower. Perfect for couples, families, or smaller friend groups.
• Medium groups (8-9 passengers): Try the Chaparral 19ft with Wake Tower or the spacious 9-Person Pontoon.
• Larger groups (10-12 passengers): For birthdays, reunions, and events, the 12-Person Starcraft Pontoon or our premium Cobalt 220S are hard to beat.
What Do You Want to Do?
Next, think about how you plan to spend your time on the water:
• Sightseeing and cruising: Pontoon boats like our Starcraft offer tons of space, comfort, and shade — great for leisurely cruises.
• Watersports and tubing: Boats equipped with wake towers, such as the Chaparral 19ft Wake Tower or Cobalt 220S, provide the power and structure needed for wakeboarding, tubing, or waterskiing.
• Luxury experience: Want a first-class day on the water? The Cobalt 220S blends high-end finishes with incredible performance.
Rental Duration: How Much Time Do You Need?
At Lakefront Sports, we offer flexible booking options to fit your schedule:
• 2 hours: Perfect for a quick cruise or a first-time lake experience.
• 4 hours: Our most popular choice — plenty of time for tubing, swimming, cruising, and relaxing.
• 5+ hours (Full day): Ideal for large groups, special events, or anyone who wants to fully enjoy Okanagan Lake without watching the clock.
Location Matters
Unlike some rental companies, our boats launch directly from our private dock in downtown Kelowna. No trailering, no hassle — just show up, board, and start your adventure right from the city’s waterfront.
Expert Staff & Top-Quality Boats
When you rent from Lakefront Sports, you’re getting more than just a boat — you’re getting 25+ years of experience, safety-certified staff, and some of the cleanest, best-maintained boats on Okanagan Lake.
