Had a blast on a private pontoon tour with Chris while on our family vacation to Glacier National Park! Spent the morning and afternoon taking a trip over to Wild Horse Island across Flathead Lake. The ride out was about an hour each way, where we enjoyed views of the mountains, water, and the lake houses along the side. Once on the island we went for a small 2.5 mile hike where we were able to see wild horses and a pack of big horn sheep. Chris offered to stop at the painted rocks on the way back and have anyone cliff jump that wanted to, but nobody in our group was interested. We were told to be there at 9:45 to start our tour, and they were there waiting for us on the dock with everything ready to go. The boat we were on was only a year old and more than comfortably accommodated the 11 of us. We got back just a little after 2pm. Chris was very friendly and also was great at queueing up a fun summer boating playlist for us to jam out to during our ride. The launch location is right next to a public boat launch, where we had no problem getting a parking spot. We were able to navigate directly to the launch without any issue by putting Paddle Board Outfitters into Google Maps. They rent paddle boards for $10 an hour which is an awesome price! But we unfortunately didn't have time for those this trip. Definitely recommended checking this place out if in the area.

Rented a Pontoon and was impressed. It was in good shape, they were informative, helpful and patient with our group.

Definitely a 'you get what you pay for' operation and that's okay!Pros: efficient, cheap, we had a great time. No reservation required and they take cash. Cons: We rented two paddle boards - the staff working gave my bf a paddle that didn't adjust and it was pretty clear she knew it didn't work when she gave it to him. They also have watches taped to the paddles with tape that is all melting off in the heat - the watch fell off halfway through (which was quite annoying as it's now another thing to be worrying about in case you fall off) and the tape residue was quite difficult to get off my hands.

Chris delivered a wave runner to me at Whitefish Lake on time and with great communication. The whole rental has been fabulous. I never have good luck with rentals in NW MT and this was a refreshingly good experience.

The staff and Chris were great. They did a thorough job of going over the safety and operation of the boat and jet ski. Gave us advice on what to do and answered all of our groups questions. Equipment was top notch and ran like a dream. I would highly recommend Paddle Board Outfitters. Flathead Lake was beautiful.

It was easy to book a reservation. The staff is beyond professional and very helpful. I found the rates to be very competitive for Flathead Lake. Paddle Board Outfitters will be my first choice for a pontoon boat rental in the future.

The sign said $60 an hour for a jet ski, the girl working said there was only $80 one's available. Decided to just pay the $80 because my family and I were very excited to try. When we went to pay she said we had to pay a minimum of 2 hours. We couldn't afford that!! Next time maybe put that on your sign. Very disappointed

Friendly and convenient place to rent paddle boards, kayaks, and jet skis. Right next to the State Park and public beach in Somers. Took my kids kayaking and there were a few really cool islands and some old abandoned buildings/piers to paddle through right on the water. Great place to escape the busy Glacier scene and the water was 15 degrees warmer (early June).

We had a great experience here renting two kayaks for a few hours to explore the lake. The lake is HUGE and we loved the freedom to basically feel like we were exploring the ocean! The reservation process was easy as was the pick-up process. We loved it so much that we decided on a whim to come back a few days later. We called around 4:00 on the road and asked if rentals for kayaks or jet skis were still available for the day, and were told that was no problem and plenty of equipment was available. We arrived at 4:55 pm but were told that the minimum rental time was 2 hours, but that we needed to have arrived 15 minutes prior to our 2 hour slot in order to sign waivers, etc. and that since they closed at 7 pm, they could not let us rent although the equipment was available. We let the staff know we were willing to pay for the two hours even if we didn't get into the water until past 5 pm, but unfortunately were still not allowed to rent. I can understand their policies, and that we did come in as a walk-up, but they seem unnecessarily strict especially as when we called ahead we were not informed of this, so unfortunately this discolored our experience here. So, just FYI to arrive early and reserve if possible.

We didn't research paddle board rental options in advance but there is a great little beach and swimming area close to Paddle Board Outfitters so we rented 3 paddle boards from them. Great price, awesome service, perfect experience.

The best! We walked up without a reso and grabbed 2 paddle boards for the day. The guys that run the dock were great -- down to earth and super helpful! Pricing is incredibly competitive too! Checkout, tipping, launch, and return was all so easy. Their website tells you everything you need to know, and everything is easy to use & navigate. Parking was also a breeze -- they're super close to a public lot, and if it's full, street parking is available.

PBO are awesome! We rented a pontoon to take out on the lake and we are so glad we did!! The boat was clean, the guys and gal that helped us were super friendly and they made the entire process so easy! They gave us thorough directions on how to explore the islands and where to grab ice. They were so polite and patient. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely rent from them in the future!

Lovely local rental shop - we actually rented from them 2 days in a row, paddle boards one day and the pontoon the next. The pontoon boat was by far the best rental we've ever had - super high quality, newer boat. Friendly staff & our go to in the area!
