We originally booked a boat for the day the forest fire smoke reached Vancouver. No problem rescheduling and had an amazing evening boating around the city.

The views are amazing and also without experience the boats are easy to drive. Bit scary to go full speed the first time, but you quickly get used to it. (Don't do what we did and go slow for a while, the ride is much more comfortable at... more

We came to the Granville public market on a recommendation and saw a boat rental sign. Prices were very reasonable and we were able to book a 2.5 hour reservation the very next day.

Checkin was seamless and we were instructed on how to operate our boat very thoroughly. We rented the 50hp boat for $45 an hour. We were able to boat all the way to the power station and got great isolated views of... more

Great experience, great customer service, great boats, great prices.... Seriously if you want to rent a boat go here!!!!

The boating was a lot of fun! It was great to be out on the water. The man that helped is into the boat was friendly and very helpful. The woman that served us at the front desk was very unfriendly and clearly didn't want to be there or help us.

Nice boats and friendly service. The options are limited in vancouver when it comes to boat rentals, but these guys offer the best boats and prices in town.

Would highly recommend.

I could not recommend Granville Island Boat Rentals highly enough. Emma and Aidan were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They were super friendly and so knowledgeable about the area and how best to maximize the time we had on the water. All of their boats are awesome - well maintained, sparking clean and lots of fun. We had a great couple of hours exploring False Creek, English Bay, Kits and... more

Went here with a group of friends today. The prices were fair, the boats were very fast and well maintained and the people who worked there were very cool. Remember 700$ pre auth deposit and not to speed while your still within the white buoys and 10$ insurance per driver.

Otherwise hit the water with a couple friends on a hot sunny day. (Make sure you time it so you get to see the sunset also)

Friendly service and well maintained boats. A very enjoyable way of exploring the False Creek and English Bay. More fun to drive your boat rather that paying for a tour type experience. Decent prices too. Highly recommended.

I am an Aircraft Maintenance Executive from Ireland and was visiting customers in Vancouver. They decided a nice way to show me Vancouver was by sea and I'm glad they did!! I have been on alot of excursions over they years with customers and this was by far my favourite experience. The staff at this boat rental were so polite and welcoming and were very well able to answer any qusetions I threw... more

I rented a boat from Granville Island Boat Rentals in October.
Boat Rental Check In: It was quite fast! The girl guided us through the boat rental safety instructions and we were off to go within 15 minutes.
Rental Start Time: My reservation was for 2.30pm and I was a little late getting to 2.15pm check-in . By the time I got to the office was 2.25pm, I thought the time would start at 2.30pm... more

I have never driven a boat in my life. It cost me about $180 for about two hours. I had the most exhilarating and wonderful experience. Being in the middle of the ocean with views of Vancouver city scape and its stunning forestry and parks was surreal and animated. Great experience!

I rented a speedboat for 2 hours to see Vancouver from the water a couple of weeks ago. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it. You will never regret it so much fun. I'll definitely come back with my colleagues...
Total is $75x2 hours + deposit $10 + fuel around $50-70 for 6 people +$500 for deposit.
Boat was a 18ft SeaRay.

Our group of 5 received excellent service and thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours on the water to celebrate a birthday. The ease of renting with a drivers license and rates made the decision an easy one.
