About
We offer a unique opportunity to Kelowna visitors and residents alike. We offer point-to-point taxi-like services when required, as well as enjoyable tours and charters for those who want to enjoy some time on the lake. As the ultimate provider of wonderful cruising experiences in Kelowna, join us and make great memories! Our craft is a luxurious 29'-6" Searay bowrider (not a pontoon boat) with soft leather seats. Our service is ideal for any size of group up to 9 passengers because our rates are the same whether you have only a couple of people or if you have 9 participants in your group. From a couple wanting to enjoy a completely private ride to a group of nine wanting to have their own private party, our cruises are ideal and don’t include any additional charges for additional people over a certain limit, and no additional fuel charges for normal cruising speed. We are confident you will find our cruises are a great choice, from luxury, to cost, to ambiance.

I was looking for a last minute booking for a boat ride then saw Peter’s website and tried to make a call. He was very polite on the phone and in person. He called me as soon as he can. My family had a fun boat ride and Peter was also kind enough to show and tour us on the Kelowna Lake (if that’s what it’s called) His service is highly recommended and have a very nice and clean boat. Thank you so much Peter. We will definitely look for you again when we come back and recommend you to our friends.

Hello 106mariateresaf,
Thank you for the five star review, taking the time to write about your experience and your kind words. I'm delighted to hear your family felt it was a fun boat ride and you enjoyed the tour of Kelowna Lake. It's actually call Okanagan Lake, but Kelowna Lake is close enough :). Thank you for highly recommending my service and your nice comments on my boat. You are very welcome Maria, it was a great pleasure for me to spend time with you and your lovely family. Furthermore, thank you for recommending me to your friends and I hope to see you onboard again the next time you make it back to Kelowna.
All the best,

We had a fabulous cruise! Right from the start, from initial contact with Captain Peter, arranging a specially-modified itinerary for 6 gals from Ontario, through our time on on the water, we couldn’t be more pleased. Before we even got to our scheduled afternoon, we did have to deal with low lake levels and thunderstorms but Captain Peter was completely proactive and transparent the whole way through.
We ended up having to delay one day due to the weather and more trouble seemed to follow us in the form of unexpected engine trouble, however, our wonderful captain made the best of it for us and we simply puttered along our prearranged itinerary for longer than planned. It worked out great since it was the last day of our big adventure and we all needed the down time of slowly cruising the lake and absorbing the beautiful water, fresh air and blue sky! Captain Peter is a fun, knowledgeable guy who encouraged us to turn up the tunes and take loads of pictures.
We all highly recommend Kelowna Water Taxi Cruises to visitors and locals alike!

Hello ParisIsAlwaysGreat,
I can't thank you enough for your outstanding detailed five star review, taking the time to share your experience and your very kind words. Yes, we had a few obstacles to overcome, bad weather which caused a delay, low lake levels, thunderstorms and engine trouble (the whole gambit) so to speak :). I do strive to give my customers the best experience possible from initial contact to completion. And I'm happy to hear you felt I was proactive and transparent the whole way through.
In addition, I'm just delighted I was able to complete your modified itinerary, albeit it was at a slower speed (water pump) and took longer. But I'm further delighted to hear it worked out great for you and you felt it gave you some needed downtime to enjoy the beautiful water, fresh air and blue sky since it was the last day of your big adventure. You 6 lovely gals were such a lovely bunch to spend time with, very understanding, very encouraging, very fun, took it all in your stride and I'm humbled to hear you couldn't have been more pleased.
Thank you very much for highly recommencing me to visitors and locals alike. And I do hope to see you all onboard again for another fun adventure.
Cheers,
Peter Brady

My friends and I travelled from Manitoba to Kelowna for the long weekend and our first excursion was with Peter on his boat for two hours. We had such a great time cruising around with Peter and my friends were thrilled with his Irish accent. It was a gorgeous sunny day, and it was made even better with Peter's warm personality and excellent customer service.... Miigwech! Thank you! :)

Peter was a gracious and knowledgeable host. No accommodation to our group was spared. We had a great time on the lake and Peter was a charming and patient host. Peter, thanks again if I could offer 6 stars I would. We left and returned on time in his comfortable craft and he couldn't have been more helpful. When you have 3 teens raving about the ride you know you've done it right.
See you next summer Pete.
See you next summer Pete.

While looking for a boat tour during our family trip to Kelowna, we found Kelowna Water Taxi and Cruises and the reviews said to stop scrolling and pick Peter, the reviews were right. From the booking process right through the boat orientation and the tour, including booking our wine tour, Peter was a pleasure to deal with and to be around. Peter is very knowledge about the area, pointing out all the areas visitors may not be familiar with and answerd any questions we had. Peter was a pleasure to be around and was great with kids even letting them help captain the boat!! You can tell Peter is passionate about giving his guests the best experience possible and was very accommodating, willing to set his boat up to our own needs. Once at the Frind Winery Peter showed us the winery and ensured we were taken care of for the tasting and even booked us a table at the restaurant for after the tasting. Even with the slight rain we had on the trip it was still very enjoyable!!
Thanks Peter! From the Parkers

Hello katiepX5245WC
Thank you very much for the glowing detailed five star review and taking the time to write it. Furthermore, I am truly humbled by your very kind words. It's meeting families like yours that make what I do so worthwhile. And seeing the smiles on the kids faces as they captained the boat made my day. I do strive to give my guests the best experience possible and I am very so pleased to hear you felt I was a pleasure to deal with through the booking process, the tour and you were taken care for the tasting at Frind Winery including booking you a table at the restaurant, allowing you to enjoy the day as you should. Even with the slight rain you guys took it in your stride and such a pleasure to spend time with. Thank you too for sharing your photos including Emily, Austin and myself. Lovely kids and I love that photo with them, one for the archives for sure.
You are very welcome Parkers, thank you for coming out and putting your trust in me.

The cruise and Captain Peter were amazing. Our 4-hour cruise to Peachland around Snake Island then back to Kelowna was wonderful. Totally different perspective seeing Kelowna, West Kelowna and Peachland from the lake. Captain Peter was terrific, he’s a great tour guide, very accommodating and personable that made the cruise a wonderful experience. I recommend Captain Peters private cruise to anyone wanting to experience the Okanagan from the water.

Captain Peter led an absolutely fabulous tour on Lake Okanogan! His knowledge, sense of humour and engaging stories made for a wonderful day on the water!! The tour was exactly as expected and any questions we had about the boat or the area he was able to easily answer. Absolutely recommend!

Was very professional and helpful when it came to booking our personalized experience. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to the fires in BC. But will book with him again. He gave a very prompt refund which we were happy with.
