Kelowna's Premier Boat Club.
Supporting Our Community.
We realize this is a luxury hobby making it difficult for most to participate. With our owners being local, we're able to ensure our clients only receive the best experience and service. Keep an eye out for our event days where we give less fortunate kids the chance to get out for some fun on the water for a donation, no matter the denomination, to a local charity. Not only do we promise a high-end product with top of the line service, but we also give back. Whether it be through charitable event days or participating in various local events throughout the year, we strive to share our success with our local clientele and community.
