Absolutely fantastic! The boat (and tube) was awesome, got rained out and they let off postpone for another day. Kids got bored after a while, and they refunded us for the unused time. Amazing! Highly recommended!!

Thanks to Sam and the great team at Wakepilot. Had a great lesson on the eFoil and by the end I was even able to do turns. Excellent pointers and helpful advice. Came to my dock to start and made sure I was close to the dock before the battery ran out. Definitely improved my confidence on the eFoil.

Our party rented a pontoon boat from Wakepilot in Osoyoos. Brandon was our Captain as non of us had boating experience. He was the most wonderful young man. He managed the boat well and was so polite and courteous to us all giving special attention to our special needs guest. Some of our party went tubing and young and old had a blast. Knee boarding was a bit of a challenge but Brandon guided them through with good advice and his patience. We will definitely be back next year for another afternoon of fun and laughter.

Sea Doo Rental. It is always a pleasure dealing with Wakepilot at Spirit Ridge. I know I can trust the equipment and it is always in good shape. I never have any issues except maybe too much fun!

You can't go wrong with Sea Doo-ing on Osoyoos Lake!! We rented from Wakepilot at both Spirit Ridge and Walnut Beach. Both were super. An hour is really all you need.
Make sure you arrive AT LEAST 30 minutes before your booked time (we arrived at the suggested 15 minutes prior). We booked for 1 1/2 hours at Spirit Ridge. We literally lost nearly 30 minutes of our time by the time the Attendant had read legalities, rules, policies, safety and checked every inch of our 3 Sea Doos for nicks, scratches, dents etc before going out. Clearly that didn't bother us enough as we rented again two days later at Walnut Beach!

We rented a pontoon and a tube for our group. The children in our group were teenagers and older. They enjoyed the tubing and the boat was great. The staff at Wakepilot is wonderful and courteous and we have been going back to them each year for boat rentals. I highly recommend this place.

The scheduling through their website was easy to understand and the YouTube videos describing the features of each water craft were very informative. This was our first experience booking with Wakepilot and everything went smoothly and the service was very good. Definitely recommend for a fun family day on the lake!

Rented a Starcraft boat for two hours and toured the lake, swam and just enjoyed lake and scenery. Staff at the location of rental were top notch - very service oriented.

Wakepilot needs more communication.
On Oct 8th I borrowed of of the seadoo from them, it was really great to start with the seedoo but they never told us the route we should be doing or were not to go.
As being a tourist, we dont come to know all the route we should be taking the seedoo- so being exicited and thrilled I went under the bridge to the other side of the lake which I was not supposed to.. if I knew I would have never gone.
The water being calm on the other side it was super fun to take a round there .. and I kept on going to show my wife the whole osoyoos on water we're there was this shallow side called hainespoint.
There the motor go stuck when we came back, we didn't even notice when we were crossing Haines point because it was smooth going and coming back it got stuck in the middle of the lake. The seedoo stopped working fully so we had to slow down and go back to wakepilot.
We spoke to Associate at wakepilot and explained what happen and told her next time let people know the do and don't before they depart, she smiled and didn't say anything and told us will offer a ride the next Monday as we only did 30 mins.
We called them on Oct 8th 9th and 10th to see if we should be aware of anything for the seedoo but did not get any response and didn't even answer back our voicemail.
On 10th we came back to wakepilot spoke to the same Associate and she said you guys have no ride and that's it no explanation why..
I had to ask her why then she replied because all the seedoo are not working .
And then again no response . Then I asked her, so is that a refund and can I have my deposit back..
Then she replied again - the motor was broken so we are keeping it .
I told myself yes it's my mistake as I did not see the shallow side but I questioned why did not they explained the route.
Anyway I did send an email explaining what happened and Kaille the person replying for the email was like we understand your frustration -
And kept on going we explain this to all our guest etc. I told her in my case I was not told and she kept on going we understand you frustration .
I told her there is no frustration here I was telling my experience so it does not happen to any other person and loosing a 1000 cad is not a great thing..
Requested a picture of the damage and the receipt for the repair- never received..
It's big no for me for this place.

Hi,
I am coming for the long May week end. I enjoy waterskiing and I will be with my husband and 10 year old kid. They have never done either wakebaording or waterskiing Would it be possible to rent the boat for 1 or 2 hours? Do you offer banana boat for exemple? Finally, how long would you recommand on the water as personnally, I do not think, I would do more than 10 minutes of waterskiing at the time. Thanks. Nathalie
