Unreal afternoon learning to wing foil with Antoine. The great team at Squamish Watersports makes the experience awesome! Everyone from Daniel, the owner, to the admin staff and of course my instructor, Antoine, were fantastic. The scenery in the Squamish Bay and views of the Chief were breathtaking. Highly recommended. - 5/10/2025

Had a fantastic boat rental experience with Squamish Watersport! The 2-hour rate was very reasonable, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. Even without any prior boating experience, their clear and simple training made it easy to get comfortable and enjoy the ride. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and stress-free time on the water! - 5/10/2025

Good facilities. Marley was friendly, helpful and explained all the safety issues to be aware of when sea kayaking. We enjoyed our 2 hour paddle up to the base of the Shannon Falls and back. Would do it again but take a longer trip next tine. - 5/02/2025

Amazing day with the great team at Squamish Watersports!! Everyone from Daniel the owner to the front end staff and guide were fantastic. The gear was top notch and had a blast on the CORE XR. Wetsuits were warm comfortable and highly maneuverable. The scenery kiting in the Squamish Bay was breathtaking. Unlike anything I have ever experienced. Highly recommended. Thanks SW!!! - 4/27/2025

This was an early season trip, we decided to be spontaneous and go out to the water. The owner went out of his way to help us, making sure the kids were warm enough and giving us extra water suits. We were fortunate to have Matisse as our boat guide, he was very kind and great with the kids as well as knowledgeable. We saw seals and bald eagle. What a day! - 4/22/2025

Highly recommend squamish watersports. Daniel was amazing! We rented expedition sea kayaks to paddle to anvil island and hike up leading peak and paddle back.Not only did he help us make sure we were comfortable with all the gear, but he also helped us route plan and let us know all the best resources to use for our paddle. My wife and I are familiar with large sea kayaking trips but have not done one in 5 years, so it was great to be reminded of some things.Additionally, as we were preparing for our paddle back from Anvil Island, Daniel called us and recommended we leave as soon as possible to make sure we could do the crossing with the best weather. Put my mind at ease knowing someone was keeping our safety in mind as we paddled.Would definitely recommend these guys no matter the paddle sport. You will be well taken care of.Pics of the paddle included - 4/19/2025

Great experience at Squamish Watersports today. Daniel is an top professional and a better person, taking good care of his students/clients. I was there with my boys and helped them all the way through, giving them tips to paddle their kayaks. Definitely when in Squamish and feeling like practicing water sports, Squamish Watersports is a must. Thank you Daniel for the great job and for taking care of my boys...and special thanks for your patience!!!! You are the best!!! Cheers!!!! - 4/18/2025

This place is the best! Daniel helped us every step of the way, helped us route plan, and made sure we were ready for our trip. He helped give us advice when the weather took a turn and was extremely flexible on pick up/drop off times which made our lives so much easier ! If you kayak, you know you sometimes need to leave very early and he helped accomodate our needs every step!!! Rent all your gear here for sure!!! - 4/18/2025

Fantastic service and location. Call ahead (even day of) to make your reservation the guys will get everything set up for you. They gave great recommendations for boating locations. I enjoyed the paddle boarding so much, I came back the next day to rent a kayak. - 4/16/2025

We did a 4 hr kayak rental in the off-season but Daniel made arrangements for us to ensure we still had the best experience possible. The owner was friendly and helpful we would definitely come back in the future!! - 11/27/2024

For my birthday I decided to do a boat tour with Squamish WATERSPORTS. It was the best day ever. It was highly unexpected and an adventurous experience. Shoutout to Neil our guide!!! He has been so much fun and made sure we had the best time. - 11/24/2024

I took my first kiteboarding lesson here when they were only just starting, and now I took my first wing foiling lesson and am always impressed with the quality of service. The gear was brand new, and by taking us out on a boat, you can learn the basics without worrying about maintaining upwind tacking. The owner is very passionate about what he does! - 11/23/2024

Fantastic experience! Thank you so much to our knowledgeable guide Marcel - it was such a unique way to experience the Howe Sound, and see lots of seals and sea lions! - 10/29/2024

My goal for this summer was to learn how to kiteboard and Squamish Watersports helped me achieve that. Had a number of different instructors over the course of my lessons and each one of them was incredibly helpful and insightful giving me constant feedback and encouragement on how to improve my riding. They know their shit for sure and love seeing people enjoying kiting as much as they do. As I improved, the upwind drops were a great way for me to ride solo but be reassured that if I did get into trouble then someone was keeping an eye on me. The guys at the shop sorted me out with some deals on ex rental gear so I could have a set up for myself without spending a massive amount of money when just getting into the sport and were always so helpful and accommodating when figuring out when to book lessons, giving advice on what days the wind was best etc. Overall just an incredibly positive experience every time I went there and looking forward to getting back out next year. - 10/23/2024

We hired a boat ride to a remote trail head with Squamish Watersports. Captain Will zipped us off early in the morning, we confirmed our pick up info and approx return time and headed out on our adventure. We were picked up at the end of our hike and he gave us a a scenic tour back after a quick stop to check out the harbour seals sunning themselves on the logs. The boat ride was fantastic and added to our day. - 10/15/2024

We took a 2 hour boat tour of Howe Sound with Squamish Warersports and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Marcel, was friendly and knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a boat tour in the area. - 10/13/2024

5 star rating Remote trailhead drop-off Captain Will did a great job of getting us to our trailhead despite challenging tidal conditions and picked us up right on time after an amazing if difficult hike. The ride back included a side-trip to visit the seals. Recommended. - 10/13/2024

Great company, easy to deal with. We had a boat tour with Captain Will end of Sept for my husbands birthday. He was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the area and took us to quiet spots that others didn’t necessarily know about to show us wildlife and the beautiful Howe Sound 10/10 would highly recommend a trip with them. - 10/05/2024

A few friends and I had a bachelor party with Squamish Watersports last month and man, what a great experience!! They were super helpful, boated us over to do the epic Echo Lake waterfall trail and picked us up in a reasonable time. They let us use the BBQ for lunch and provided an excellent kite surfing lesson. It was my first time, and Will was the ultimate teacher. He guided us through safety instructions, showed us the ropes, and we all successfully got up. It was so impressive the way he was not only able to teach us, but provide us second-by-second micro feedback while we were learning to stand and ride. I was truly so impressed--I wish I lived in squamish so I could continue lessons!! To keep it off, we got to relax in their hot tub to warm up after a chilly afternoon on the water before heading out for the evening. They really provide the total package. This is all to say, to thumbs up, would highly recommend, and I hope to be back in future! - 10/04/2024

A group of 4 of us were coached by Alex to wingfoil for 3 hours. we had a great time, he was very patient with us and gave us some great feedback, the wind died on us so we were able to get towed by the boat! I would totally recommend! - 10/02/2024

I've rented a boat twice from them when I had visitors in town! Such a great deal and a beautiful way to see Squamish and surrounding areas! I'll definitely be renting from them again next summer 🙂 they make it so smooth and easy! - 9/30/2024
