Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a boating licence?

No licence is required. The driver must be 19 years of age or older. Youth aged 6 and up can ride as passengers with a parent or guardian's signature.

What should I bring?

Just bring a valid government-issued photo ID and your phone. Our jet skis are equipped with Bluetooth audio. Life jackets are provided for all riders.

Is there a damage deposit?

No charge — a $1,000 pre-authorization hold is placed on your credit card per jet ski. This is a temporary authorization, not a payment, and it's released automatically upon return.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

Cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance receive a full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours can be rescheduled for any available date within 30 days. Manually created reservations must be paid no later than 7 days before the scheduled rental. Reservations that remain unpaid at that time may be automatically cancelled and the time slot released for other guests.

Is fuel included?

You're only billed for actual usage, at the current marina per-litre pump price.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If weather conditions are deemed unsafe — including high winds, lightning, or rough water — we will cancel your rental at no charge and reschedule for the next available date.

Do I need experience to operate a jet ski?

No prior experience necessary. All guests receive a comprehensive safety briefing covering operation, safety protocols, and local lake conditions. Life jackets are provided for all riders.

Jet Ski Rental FAQ

Everything you need to know before booking your jet ski rental in Kelowna — from licensing requirements and damage deposits to launch locations, fuel rates, and our weather cancellation policy. Can't find your question? Get in touch and our team will help.

Towels

Bring a towel or two to dry off after your ride. There is plenty of room in the storage compartment to keep them dry until you need them.

Sunscreen

The Okanagan sun is strong on the water. Apply sunscreen before you launch and bring it along to reapply throughout the day.

Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses cut the glare off the water and make for a much more comfortable ride. A strap helps keep them secure.

Water Bottle

Stay hydrated out there. Bring a refillable water bottle; riding works up a thirst, especially on warm summer days.

Your Favourite Playlist

Queue up your playlist before you launch so you don’t have to fiddle with or touch your phone while you’re out on the ride. Pop it in the waterproof compartment and let the Bluetooth audio do the rest.

Smart Storage Onboard

Large Storage Compartment

Big enough for a couple of towels and all of your snacks. Stash everything you need for a full day on the lake.

Small Storage Compartment

Perfect for small purses and extra snacks. Keeps your smaller items secure and out of the way while you ride.

Waterproof Phone Compartment

A completely waterproof compartment built just for your phone. Keep it safe and dry while you play your music through the Bluetooth audio.
