Boat Rentals

Something magical happens when you are on the water

Pedder Bay Marina proudly maintains the largest and most affordable fleet of boat rentals on Vancouver Island. Whether you are after that prize fish or just want to explore, a day on one of our rental boats is the perfect way to unwind. Choose from 17′ Hourstons or Double Eagle watercraft—both comfortable and easy to maneuver. Pedder Bay is minutes from fantastic salmon, halibut, and bottom fishing, and we’ve got everything you’ll need for your trip right here. Check in with our crew for the latest fishing hot spots, tackle tips, and more!

If you would prefer to take in the sights, take a trip filled with breathtaking scenery with the possibility of encountering whales, bald eagles, otters, porpoises, and colonies of enormous sea lions in their natural habitat. Before you set out on your fishing or sightseeing trip, we will review a detailed boat safety checklist.

Note: You do not need a Pleasure Craft Operator’s Card to rent a boat at Pedder Bay, as a day permit will be issued to you.

First Come – First Served, based on weather/fog conditions.

*Renter must be at least 19 years of age, provide a photo ID and supply a valid credit card for deposit.
