Rent the StarCraft C1700 speed boat in Kelowna for 1 to 4 hours, with USB charging, life jackets, and strong operator support.
“Wij waren ruim op tijd maar op het trefpunt was er niemand. Bij bellen nam niemand op. Uiteindelijk via berichten in contact kunnen komen. Hierdoor half uur later vertrokken, huurtijd ging wel half uur later in dus dat was oké. Op het water na wat zwemmen wilde de motor niet starten. Na 20 minuten lukte het eindelijk. Bij terugkomst dit aangegeven waarbij de contactpersoon aangaf dat hij was vergeten uit te leggen dat je dan een knopje moet indrukken i.v.m. de benzinedampen. Dus middelmatige ervaring gehad.”
Cruise Kelowna on a Tiki-themed yacht with BBQ and bar onboard. Private rental for up to 15, no license needed, USB ports included.
“We booked a trip for a yacht with 11 guests at 1:00pm. Unfortunately our renter showed up 30-45 minutes late and claimed that he was waiting for us the entire time. We requested for him to accomodate us the lost time since our booking was 2 hours and with setup and taking the boat out, we were close to 1 hour left.

Upon arrival he also informed us that the bbq was out…”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
