Why We Do What We Do

We started PNW Boat Rentals because we love this place — the mountains, the water, the community. There’s something magical about drifting across the lake at sunset or watching your kids laugh as they jump in for a swim. We wanted to build a business that reflects the laid-back beauty of North Idaho while delivering a professional, dependable experience for every guest.

This isn’t a faceless rental agency. We’re a small, family-run team who truly care about our customers. We know the waters. We know the weather. And we’re always ready to offer helpful advice, trip suggestions, or insider tips for your day on the lake.

Our Boats, Your Adventure

We hand-select every vessel in our fleet — from high-performance pontoons to our exclusive Spacruzzi hot tub boats — and keep them in top shape. Each boat is inspected regularly and cleaned thoroughly before every launch to make sure your experience goes off without a hitch.

  • Premium pontoons with Bluetooth, bimini tops, and seating for up to 11

  • Eco-friendly hot tub boats with electric motors and spa heaters

  • Coast Guard–compliant safety gear and walkthroughs included

  • Flexible rental options for half-days, full-days, and evening cruises

What Sets PNW Boat Rentals Apart?

We aren’t the biggest operation — and that’s intentional. Our size lets us focus on service, attention to detail, and quality you can count on. We’re proud to be:

  • Locally owned and operated

  • Fully transparent with rates, policies, and availability

  • Dedicated to clean, safe, and well-maintained boats

  • Easy to reach — by phone, text, or email 7 days a week

Our online booking system makes it easy to plan your lake day anytime, and we’re just a phone call away if you have questions. From families with kids to couples looking for something special, we go the extra mile to make sure you leave with a smile (and maybe a few epic photos).

Our Home Base — Long Bridge Marina

We operate exclusively out of Long Bridge Marina in Sagle, just minutes from downtown Sandpoint. This private dock location is peaceful, easy to access, and avoids the congestion of public boat launches. It’s the perfect launch point for both first-time visitors and seasoned boaters.

  • Calm, private dock with easy parking

  • Avoid the long lines and stress of public ramps

  • Quick access to deep water, quiet coves, and lakeside beaches

We’ll walk you through your boat at the dock and make sure you’re completely confident before you set out. No stress, no confusion — just smooth sailing from the start.
