Pier Water Sports | Penticton Boat Rentals - Penticton, British Columbia

We had a very frustrating experience with Pier Water Sports. Despite booking ahead, we waited over an hour past our scheduled time because staff forgot about us while helping others who arrived later. By the time we finally got out on the water, the weather had changed, cutting our time short. When we raised our concerns, the staff was dismissive and unhelpful. After some pressure, they refunded only 30 minutes — far less than what we lost—the sun and good time in the water. Very disappointed with the poor service and lack of accountability. Would not recommend. And the wrong attitude.

We went Penticton last year for Okanagan Hockey Academy summer camp. We had fantastic time there. After hockey camp, my boys wanted to learn wakeboarding, and Pier Water Sports was perfect. Greg was super nice, funny and great instructor. My boys learned so quickly. They succeeded at 1st try. We ended up riding banana boat as well. Super fun! While we were staying at Penticton, we went back to Pier Water Sports for Jet ski. That was wonderful experience, too. I strongly recommend this place.

We had an amazing ride on the banana boat, which in my opinion is the best value of any activity in Penticton. It was a splashing bouncy ride and fun for us all and we can't wait to do it again. I had a mildly sprained wrist at the time and I had no trouble riding the banana, nor any trouble getting back on when I was thrown off. My wife and daughter had a little more trouble getting back on than me but I was able to help them. At the end we felt we had gotten way more than our money's worth of fun. Great job Pier Water Sports, and thank you for the fun vacation memories!

If you value your life, maybe just swim instead.

Renting a boat from this company was like voluntarily stepping into a floating coffin. Safety? Never heard of it! Life jackets were either missing, moldy, or looked like they were last used in the Titanic era. The “safety briefing” was basically: “Here’s the boat, good luck!”

Our boat looked like it was held together with duct tape and broken dreams. The steering was so loose I thought I was playing Mario Kart on expert mode, and the motor sounded like it was begging to be put out of its misery.

No radio. No emergency contact instructions. No flares. Not even a whistle. Honestly, if anything had gone wrong, we would’ve had a better chance sending a message in a bottle.

And the best part? A thunderstorm rolled in, and we were told, “you’ll be fine, just get back when you can.” Like we were taking a leisurely stroll and not sailing into a lightning rave in a bathtub with an engine.

10/10 for thrill-seekers with a death wish. 0/10 for literally everyone else.

We had such a great time renting seadoos from Pier Water Sports in Penticton! The whole experience was smooth and super fun from start to finish. Tasha and Anders were incredibly helpful and friendly; they made everything clear, and we felt totally safe and looked after the whole time.

The lake was absolutely beautiful, with lots of space to zoom around — it was the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday. Booking online was really easy and convenient. Just a heads-up: fuel costs are extra and charged on-site, which we hadn’t noticed when booking.

Overall, a fantastic experience and we couldn’t recommend renting jet skis from here enough. We left very happy and will definitely be back!

I went banana boating with my friends here yesterday and we were so excited for a fun experience. We got there at 2pm and were told we had to wait 20 mins as Greg was on a break. We ended up having to wait almost an hour before we got to go on the boat. Being on the banana boat was a 10/10 experience, Greg played the best music and being on a banana boat with your friends is a great bonding experience. FYI it’s kinda a workout climbing back on to that banana so be ready for that.

Unfortunately, our experience with this boat rental company in Penticton was disappointing. We had to wait over an hour past our scheduled time before we were even given the boat, which already cut into our rental time. Then, severe thunderstorm weather rolled in, forcing us to return early for safety, something obviously out of our control. Despite the poor conditions, they were unwilling to offer any sort of refund or credit. To make matters worse, we were told gas was included when booking, but then got charged for it after the fact. Definitely not the kind of service or transparency you’d expect. They also gave us very unprofessional attitude. Would recommend looking elsewhere for a more reliable and professional rental experience.
