They had us arrive at 10 AM with the rental lasting until 1 PM, though we had to watch a 20 minute safety video and get lifejackets and everything so by the time we got in the boat and started off, we had about 2 1/2 hours left. I guess that's why they give you the third hour free? Fuel was extra though, which we didn't realize. Regardless, we felt it was well priced compared to other places where renting a boat could be double or triple the price. our boat was clean and looked practically brand new. We really appreciated that there was a cover/canopy on the boat to give us shade. We had amazing weather and the whole trip was lovely. I would definitely recommend doing this.

After the helpful explanation we were ready to go.We rented the 18ft boat - it is such a cool boat. We went for 3 hours and drove past downtown Vancouver to Deep Cove and stopped off for a quick picnic. It did start to rain while we were out on the water but we didn't mind and had great fun anyway. The boats looked brand new and not what you would expect from a boat rental. We paid around $260 for the boat rental, this included the insurance and gas, which divided by 5 of us worked out to be a great deal.This was a great experience and I highly recommend it. I will be back in Vancouver to rent a boat again this summer.

Ken and his company, Summer Sun Charters, came highly recommended from VAN locals that I am friends with. Ken was 100% reliable and responsive through out the entire course of investigating, planning and booking our tour. He is extremely genuine and friendly, providing information, pricing and recommendations through out the entire booking process. The boat itself was exactly what we needed. A very clean, well maintained ship that has SO MUCH ROOM and many options for outdoor and indoor congregation. Refreshments were provided by his delightful bartender and Ken prepped his gas grill for us to cook out on. I would recommend Ken, his boat and Summer Sun Charters to anyone in the Vancouver area looking to have a memorable time on the water. THANK YOU KEN! Job well done!

This place has next level customer service…read more From reading the reviews, we knew this place had bad customer service but it ended up being worse than we expected even knowing that the service is bad! From other reviews, we knew that this place would sometimes close hours early when they felt like it. Not wanting that to happen to us, we called before driving there (we were ten minutes away) to ask if they were open and, at 3pm, they said they'd be open until 6pm. When we got there, they said that they were closed. They literally decided to close and then closed in the ten minutes between telling us they'd be open for three more hours and when we got there even though we told them we were heading there and would be there in ten minutes. It was truly an unparalleled customer service experience. Although this place is the most conveniently located canoe & kayak rental place near where I live, they're not actually more convenient than Burnaby Canoe & Kayak Club (off Burnaby Lake), Rocky Point Kayak, or Deep Cove Kayak, if they can't be trusted stay open for ten minutes when they say they'll be open for three hours.

I wish I could say I enjoyed it. Starting off, we got there…read moreat 730am ready to board. We didn't board until after 8am because others were late. The captain was nice and a few others were helpful, but unfortunately the overall experience was not very pleasant. Almost everyone else on the boat seemed to know each other and 95% of the time spoke Mandarin to each other. I am not a Mandarin speaker so it really felt like we were being left out a lot. Only managed to get some sort of information or communication because my friend can vaguely translate what they say. As someone paying around $300/person, I expected to learn a lot and have more guidance. The moment we got on the boat one of the other guests lit up a cigarette. Let's just say throughout the entire day, someone was toting a lit cigarette. They probably smoked close to 3 packs while on board. No one from my group smokes, so we were pretty irradiated to say the least. We learned very little and had little guidance. They were helpful when we needed help, but for the most part it felt like they were having a blast and we were the party crashers. I do like that they followed the rules of fishing and what fish they have to release, what can be caught and what needed to be returned. However, they threw their cigarette butts into the ocean which I felt was unacceptable. Since I'm a beginner, I tried to copy what the others did on the boat in terms of releasing the line, but then told we shouldn't do that. I pretty much kept to myself and kept quiet because of the language barrier and honestly wasn't there to criticize people, I was there to learn and have fun . The 3 stars go to the captain and 1 or 2 of his friends. I really appreciate them giving us their catches and some crabs because I wasn't able to catch anything worth keeping and really they were kind and would answer questions if we had them, but I'm really shy, especially when it comes to new things. However, the last 30 mins would be the highlight, the other 8 hrs I felt like the kid that wasn't invited to the party but people were obligated to be nice to. I hope they learn from this review and are able to give other people a better experience than the one I got today.

Plenty of temporary moorage for boats of most cruising size and up to 120 feet. We were only half that size and tied off to the main dock. Despite being in the middle of it all, the foot traffic was not noticeable and I felt very safe leaving the boat. 30, 50, 100 amp power is available. Coal Harbour is nice, secure and quiet but if you want a break from the sea and to enjoy a few nights of city life, call into Quayside Marina on 66A and tie off. It's a great place to float.

When they get real busy, they want the kayaks back right on time so that their next customers don't have to wait.
