We had such a good time renting a charter with Johnny - Max was our guide. He took our family tubing on lake Okanagan. He is beyond his years, very professional, helpful, and down to earth. He even offered to stay in the boat with our 5 year old Bernadoodle while we grabbed lunch at a local winery. We had the best day. Thank-you Max and Johnny for making our time on the lake so much fun! I can’t recommend this company enough!!

We had the best day with the family in the Heyday yesterday. The whole experience was great. Easy transaction. Easy pickup & return at the doc. All the toys. Extra effort by the staff to make sure we had everything we needed. Best price we could find. Excellent memories made! Recommend this boat for groups with an experienced boat driver who want a day of fun!

We recently booked with Kelowna Boat Charters and had such an incredible time! Max, our driver went above and beyond. He was so helpful with getting all of our items (us included) lol on and off the boat. He was super friendly and fun to have as our captain! The owner Jonny was awesome to deal with when it came to Bookings. Everything was smooth and simple Looking forward to our next charter with Kelowna Boat Charters! Thanks again Jonny, Max and team!! 😎⚓️🥂

We had a fantastic pontoon charter with Kelowna Boat Charters! Booking with the company was super easy and Jonny is fabulous to work with to plan the perfect afternoon. Our captain Max knew the area and was super friendly, easygoing, safe and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be using the company again!
