Perfect 3 hour kayak tour for adults and tweens. Seals, otters, herons, and nice paddling. Emilie was fantastic. - 7/10/2026

We arrived a little late, but our coach, Will, kindly extended our session so that we still got the full two hours. We really appreciate it. Thank you, Will! - 7/09/2026

My partner and I did the two day semi-private wing foil lessons. It was both of our first times trying out this sport and we are so happy with our experience with Squamish Watersports.I was really nervous for our first lesson, but we were lucky enough to have Angelo who had amazing energy. He struck the perfect balance of being super positive and enthusiastic, while still making me feel safe. After three hours on the water and giving endless feedback, Angelo was still super patient and answered all of our questions and was very personable.The second day we were booked with Emilie who was also an amazing coach. Her knowledge and ability communicate was really strong. We both learned so much from her. She seemed to know the exact thing to say to resonate with each of us and explained this with words, demonstrated it, and had us practice.The entire facility is very clean and well organized. All of the staff were kind and helpful. The gear was in amazing shape. I loved having a hot tub to jump into once we were off the water!I will be recommending Squamish Watersports to everyone. If either Angelo or Emilie are available make sure to get in with them. I’m so grateful they made me feel comfortable being on the water. - 7/07/2026

We had a great time yesterday learning to wakeboard. It was our first time going out. My ten-year-old daughter and I had a successful trip. We both got up out of the water and got to ride. It was super fun.Alex was our instructor. He was so calm and helpful. He was a great instructor, excellent knowledge. The boat they take you out on is super nice, modern, and clean. - 7/06/2026

Took a 3 hour private class with Alex and he was a fantastic instructor. Very caring, supportive and calm. In 3 hrs we made a huge progress from riding wobbly to having stable and in control rides.We plan to come back in couple of weeks and get a package so that Alex can continue guiding us through the progression. - 6/30/2026

Emilie is an excellent wing foil coach, super knowledgable and great style of teaching. Radio headsets are brilliant for those little on the fly quick adjustments. Had my longest ride on the foil in both directions because of her and got lots of tips to keep improving on. - 6/24/2026

I have been blown away by not only Dan's comfortability in introducing sailing to a newbie, but the involvement I experienced during these group charters. Within the first 30 minutes, I had the opportunity to coil winches and steer at the helm. It was a combination of following his instructions, but also guided distance to use initiative in understanding boat mechanics and boat navigation in powering the sail. The group charters have been filled with a few interested sailors, and numerous experience seekers for a unique place to relax. The intimidation of steering a 49ft vessel is prominent, however Dan has the experience to oversee all my movements within a comfortable environment, and I observed even the most intimidated feel comfortable behind the helm. I'm looking forward to getting back on board. - 6/23/2026

We went on a Bouldering Boat tour with Marcel as our guide in June 2026. We had an absolute blast! Marcel is an incredible boat captain -- Howe Bay was ROUGH but he got us to some great spots for climbing and kept us mostly dry :). There were five of us, two observers and three climbers. The boat ride around Howe Bay and Squamish River was fun and informative; Marcel knows boulders, rocks, currents and tides, history and current happenings! We cannot wait to for another tour with Marcel next summer. I highly recommend Squamish Watersports -- everyone from Dan, the owner, to the dogs welcoming you are friendly, safe, helpful and fun. They even have a hot tub free to use after boating. See you guys next summer and thanks for a memorable experience, Kasey R.p.s. I almost forgot the bonus seals!! - 6/23/2026

Extremely fun time on the water with friends and instructors. The instructors are some of the coolest people I’ve ever met and they make the lessons 11 times better. I had a lesson with Cami and she was such an amazing and fun instructor. She was able to spot my mistakes while also keeping the energy up even at frustrating times. Loved this business and I highly recommend! - 6/20/2026

We booked a shuttle to a remote hike, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. David zipped us over to the trailhead and was waiting for us at the appointed spot when we were done. Arranging the drop off and pick up was super easy and the boat ride was so much easier than trying to canoe kayak or paddle board over to the trail head. A hot tub at the end of the hike was just a cherry on top of a perfect day. Thanks Squamish Watersports!! - 6/19/2026

Very good lessons with Cami and Angela who were great teachers! Would definitely go back. - 6/18/2026

They recovered our (personal) kayak that was lost in an unsuccessful try to cross over to Echo lake. I would highly recommend to use their shuttle so you don't end up in the same situation, its not fun!! They were super flexible and able to help us out on short notice. We also had a chance to check out the sailboat and are very excited to book a trip on it soon as it looks epic. Everybody was very nice, helpful and went out of their way. Big big thanks to the owner Dan and the team - 6/18/2026
