Boat Moorage Options in Kelowna and Area

If you live in the Okanagan, there is a high probability that you own a boat. Tired of towing it every time you are looking to go on the water? There are permanent and temporary boat moorage options in Kelowna and the area.  

Boating on Lake Okanagan is a popular pastime, but having to hook up the boat and wait in line at the boat launch can take time away from your day on the water.   There are several boat moorage options in Kelowna and the area, and they offer a heck of convenience.

Downtown Kelowna Marina 

In the heart of Kelowna’s downtown core, this is a great catch-all for general boating and watersport enthusiasts.  There are 68 moorage slips available for long or short-term rental (seasonal all the way down to hourly boat moorage options in Kelowna), along with full-service fuelling facilities and convenient shops.  Additionally, this is your access to party boat charters plus boat (and even jet ski) rentals.  It’s a one-stop shop, and you can walk back to your downtown hotel in minutes.   If you’re feeling like making a real plunge and have some patience for a waitlist, you can explore the Kelowna Yacht Club. Located just minutes away for a premium Kelowna boat storage/moorage experience.

Aqua Marine Valet 

Located directly on the lake next door to Hotel Eldorado and Manteo Resort in Kelowna’s sought-after Lower Mission, this a very unique opportunity to maximize the enjoyment of your boating life in Kelowna.  Just download their app, and they will fuel up your boat and have it in the water ready to go shortly thereafter.  Once you’re finished for the day simply toss your keys to the attendance and head home, knowing your boat is safe and sound.  Boat storage couldn’t be easier or more convenient outside of a slip at a marina.  Luckily, Aqua Marine Valet is much, much cheaper.  Bonus: They will completely winterize and wrap your boat for off-season storage at their large lakeside facility, where they also have full fueling and detailing services.

Shelter Bay Marina 

For those with larger vessels, this marina in West Kelowna is the ideal option.  Shelter Bay has 450 boat moorage slips which can accommodate boats up to 60 feet in length. They also benefit from significantly deeper water than most facilities on the Eastern shores of Lake Okanagan. This is ideal for larger sailboats.  Amenities include mechanical servicing and parts, detailing, wrapping, a full watersport shop, and so on.  No stone is left unturned.

As a community built around amazing lake experiences, Kelowna’s locals and tourists have lots of great options for aquatic sports. Boat storage and maintenance are a huge part of the picture.  Boating might not be the least expensive hobby, but at least you won’t get caught double-bogeying the 18th hole.
