Kelowna is a renowned destination for sun-seekers in Canada: with the ubiquitous Okanagan sunshine and sparkling lakes in the area, it's essential that residents and tourists hit the water in some form or another.
Kelowna's boat dealers and boat services are a necessity for those water-bound residents and tourists.
These are the three best boat dealers and services as voted by you, Kelowna.
Gold: Dockside Marine Centre – 2053 Campbell Road, West Kelowna
Locally-owned Dockside Marine Centre has been serving wake riders, fishers, pontoon enthusiasts and recreational boaters in western Canada since 1975.
Being topside three years in a row, earning the people's favour with Best of Kelowna Gold in 2016, 2017 and 2018, Dockside advertises themselves as the only full-service dealer on Okanagan Lake with the opportunity to pick up parts, rent or buy a boat and get it serviced all in the same place.
Silver: Scrub Captain – Kelowna, BC
Scrub Captain has transformed cleaning your boat into an art, specifically an art on-the-go. The mobile boat detailing company comes to you — whether it be in the water or on land they'll make it sparkle.
The detailing works to stay a step above the rest with their eco-friendly choices, attempting to use environmentally-friendly products whenever possible.
Bronze: Seca Surf and Marine – 11410 Petrie Road, Lake Country
Joining the Best of Kelowna podium for the first year, Seca Surf and Marine is happy to be helping Okanagan Valley residents with purchasing new and used boats, servicing or storing their boats and picking up parts for their wake splitters.
Beginning as "Seca Storage," a dry dock marina, they have evolved into more than just storage and service and now provide their customers with the boats that might end up in their storage, garage or on one of their trailers.
