Boat was perfect for our week on the lake.
- TianaTiana
Dave and Lee were both lovely and had the boat ready for us. They also provided clear instructions.
- PaulPaul
Dave was great, boat was perfect! Will definitely rent again!!
- JohnJohn
The boat is available to the public, but it's mainly for the guests who get lucky enough to stay at Dave & Lee's romantic cabin getaway. They make it super convenient to take the boat out from the cabin. The boat itself is perfect for the lake, easy to drive, perfect for cruising or exploring the lake. Not once did we have any issues and Dave's boat guide makes it extremely easy to take out and put back. Highly recommend.

We had a great time on the water!
Dave's boat was in top condition, and he gave us a much appreciated lesson on how best to use it.
Well worth the money; you won't regret this rental!!

Dave’s boat was perfect for family of four. He was very accommodating and really easy to work with. His boat is better than advertised and we will rent again when we return.

I highly recommend Dave Randall and his Bayliner if you are going to be anywhere near Lake Pend Oreille, ID. Our family vacation on the lake literally would have been setback without Dave's listing, approval and follow-through. The VR5 is very clean and comes as advertised, and if you know your way around a bowrider/sport boat there is no reason to hesitate! Dave sets you up with excellent instructions regarding all the logistics and operating procedures, and in our case went above and beyond at the last minute to help us modify the schedule and pickup the boat earlier than originally scheduled. We will definitely be back, thanks again Dave!

Awesome day on the lake! Dave provides detailed and thorough instructions and the boat is great.
- KatelynKatelyn
Dave and Lee’s boat exceeded our expectations. Their detailed instructions on how to use the lift and boat made our trip very smooth and enjoyable. The host was very responsive and willing to answer all the questions we had. We are looking forward to renting from them again soon.
- KristinKristin
Great communication with owner and convenient boat pick up and drop off. The boat was clean and in great shape. Would rent again!
- AlexandraAlexandra
Perfect boat for my husband and I to enjoy while we were on vacation. Location of the boat makes fueling up at Bottle Bay a breeze. Dave makes the process easy and is very helpful and speedy to respond. Great boat to cruise and lounge on the water.
- JamesJames

Great experience! Dave was accommodating and his boat was awesome. Boat setter and Dave let me entertain a client on a busy holiday weekend making it extra special.
- AllisonAllison
Very nice newer boat. Lots of places to explore. Dave was responsive and easy to work with.
- LeahLeah
Easy process, clear instructions. Beautiful and clean boat. Great experience overall.
- AlexandraAlexandra
Great boat, newer and clean. Rental was easy with all Dave’s instructions and welcome sheet. Dave was kind enough to give us some suggestions of places to visit and eat while we were in town on vacation. Highly recommend renting this boat for a day (or four!) on the lake!
- BlakeBlake
Dave’s boat was extremely well-maintained and very easy to access with provided instructions. I would absolutely charter this boat again if I was staying at his house. Perfect for a day cruising Lake Pend Oreille
- StephenStephen
Dave was very professional and a pleasure to do business with. He was promptly responsive to questions and made the rental process very straightforward. His boat is in near-new condition and delivered very reliable fun on the lake. If we return to the Pend, I'll probably choose his boat again as this experience was very positive. However, I do agree with the comments regarding a relative lack of power. Specifically, the boat has a poor hole-shot and takes a really long time to get on plane. This is not a problem for cruising and tube-pulling, but if you're looking to do some slalom, you may be disappointed.
Thank you Dave for helping to make a great vacation! Cheers!
- JustinJustin
Dave made it incredibly easy to rent the boat, and get out on the lake in a timely manner. The boat was in great condition, and had no mechanical issues. Although it lacks a certain amount of power for towing someone (adult) on a wake board, I would highly recommend this boat for cruising the lake.
- TimofeyTimofey
Great boat, runs well, we had a good time. Easy to control. Right on the dock of the house we rented, super convenient. Dave gave a run down before we took off. Boat was clean and comfortable! Sound system was good too! Thank you! We’ll be back!
- Christian & DianeChristian & Diane
Easy instructions and easy boat to enjoy on the lake.
- DavidDavid
Boat reservation and experience worked as intended. Was able to cruise the upper end of the lake and the breadth of that shoreline on less than half a tank of gas. Owners very hospitable.
- KurtKurt
Great boat on a great location. Excellent experience overall!
- IvanIvan
My wife and I had a great time on the Bayliner owned by Dave & Lee. I would recomend it for anyone. Lee was very helpful and the boat looks like a brand new , clean boat. Have fun , we did ! - Ivan

Dave is flexible and friendly, and the boat was clean and had everything we needed for a day on the lake!
- JenniferJennifer
Absolutely perfect! Thanks so much!
- CherylCheryl
This boat was a great boat! We enjoyed using it and would recommend it to anyone staying on the lake. We cruised to Sandpoint & tied off to the public dock. We walked around town & got a coffee! We then checked out all of the amazing water front homes around the lake and saw a bald eagle too! We took a trip to Hope and had a yummy lunch at the floating restaurant! Thank you for having a great boat on your dock! This was really fun & convenient!

Dave is an excellent host, clear communication, setup and quick to respond. We were even able to adjust the rental times due to weather. I'd definitely consider renting again in the future if the opportunity comes up. Thanks again for making our trip memorable!

Everything about the rental from Dave was perfect! Great communication, stress-free delivery and the boat was in great shape
And performed perfectly. It even got great gas “mileage”! - TatianaTatiana
Boat description was accurate and we appreciated the user friendly boat’s guide book. Additionally, the owner was very courteous and quick to answer questions.

Great boat. Plenty of places to go on Lake Pend Oreille. There are several easily accessible places to refuel.
- JasonJason
Super convenient set up for using from the rental. And Bottle bay around the corner for gas is awesome.
- AdamAdam
Thanks Dave! Great boat for cruising around beautiful lake Pend O’Reille. Dave was helpful, detailed and easy to work with.
- AustinAustin
Awesome experience with Dave! Nice boat and very easy to talk with and always quick to respond!
- StevenSteven
Was a fantastic experience to operate a boat on this lake in Idaho. Enjoying the beautiful homes and mountains around the lake were best viewed by water. The boat was in excellent condition and well maintained. This is a pleasure boat and not good for fishing. I must admit the lake beat me in the fishing department. I put in about 3000 casts and never caught a fish!! Thx Dave for a great trip!!
- KyleKyle
The boat had everything that we needed to explore the lake for a couple of days. Dave is very professional and he makes the rental process as easy as it gets. Highly recommend staying at his Airbnb and adding the boat rental during your stay!
- BrianBrian
Top notch. Especially appreciated Dave's flexibility. Outstanding experience.
- ErinErin
We rented Dave's boat for our stay at their lakeside retreat. It was very convenient and a smooth process. The boat was roomy and comfortable for my family of 5 and it offered enough pep for us to tow our kids on a tube and wakeboard. Boat was the only way we traveled during our stay at the lake and we are missing it already.
- LindsayLindsay
Excellent! Boat was great and Dave made the process very easy. We enjoyed our time on the lake tremendously! Highly recommended.
- JeredJered
Some wind and rain came in and Dave was an amazing host and had offered to edit or cancel the reservation. The storm had past shortly after and we had a great time putting along the shoreline viewing the amazing lake, shoreline and houses. Highly recommend!
- JamesJames
The boat was great and we had a great time on it. It was clean and ready to go on the day of the reservation. The owner was a great communicator and provided very clear instructions. I would strongly recommend renting from the owner.
- AlexandraAlexandra
Excellent rental - we've rented this boat many times, will continue to book the boat when we're in town. Thank you!
- AntonioAntonio
We very much enjoyed renting Dave and Lee’s bayliner. The boat was clean, easy to drive, and fun to operate. Navigational and operational instructions were conveniently provided onboard as well as safety flotation devices and signaling equipment. Would highly recommend renting to anyone wanting to have a nice fun day on the lake.
