Where to Find Our Sea-Doo & Jet Ski Rentals at the Water Street Launch in Kelowna

If you're looking for Sea-Doo rentals in Kelowna and want to get right onto Okanagan Lake from the heart of downtown, our Water Street location is one of the easiest places to start your ride.

The Water Street boat launch has quickly become our most popular launch location, especially for visitors staying downtown or anyone who wants to spend less time getting to the lake and more time actually enjoying it.

And because the launch can be easy to miss if you've never used it before, we've put together this quick guide so you know exactly where to go.

Where Is the Water Street Boat Launch?

The Water Street launch is located along the downtown Kelowna waterfront, between King Taps and the Kelowna Yacht Club.

When you arrive for your rental, look for our Kelowna Watercraft crew members wearing blue shirts. We'll meet you directly at the launch with your Sea-Doo ready to go.

We've also included photos on this page showing the exact launch location, so you'll know what you're looking for before you arrive.

Why Water Street Is Our Most Popular Kelowna Launch

There's something pretty great about being able to walk through downtown Kelowna and, minutes later, be heading out onto Okanagan Lake on a Sea-Doo.

The Water Street location is especially convenient for people staying at downtown hotels, visiting the waterfront, or spending the day in central Kelowna.

Instead of travelling outside of downtown to pick up your rental, we bring the Sea-Doo directly to the Water Street launch for you.

Your crew member will meet you there, get you set up, go through the Sea-Doo's features and controls, cover the important safety information, and help you get comfortable before you head onto the lake.

What to Look for When You Arrive

Finding us is simple.

Look for the boat launch between King Taps and the Kelowna Yacht Club, then look for our crew in blue Kelowna Watercraft shirts.

Your Sea-Doo will be brought directly to the launch for your scheduled rental.

Renting a Sea-Doo From Water Street

Once you arrive, keep an eye out for those blue shirts.

Then it's lake time.

Looking for Sea-Doo or Jet Ski Rentals in Kelowna?
