The 18.5' Glastron is Kelowna Boat Rentals' newest addition: a compact, modern runabout with the features—tower for towing, Bimini shade and a high-quality stereo—that make it equally at home cutting wakes or idling at a sandy Okanagan beach. With a design that emphasizes ease of docking and stability, the boat suits smaller groups who want a capable, stylish platform for wakeboarding, skiing, tubing or a day of cruising on the lake.

THE BOAT

Modern comfort and steady handling

The 18.5' Glastron is described as a newer boat with a modern interior and design focused on easy docking and excellent stability; capacity is up to seven passengers with comfortable seating for five adults, powered by a 4.3L 190HP engine.

THE GEAR

Built for watersports

Equipped with a tower suited to wakeboarding and a Bimini for shade, the Glastron is recommended for wakeboarding, skiing, kneeboarding and tubing—the boat’s configuration and power make it a sensible choice for tow-sports on the Okanagan.

THE DAYBOAT

Stereo, convenience and lake-side stops

An excellent onboard stereo and convenient size make the Glastron a popular selection for cruising the lake, then docking nearby to swim or relax at one of the Okanagan’s beaches—its smaller footprint also simplifies beach and marina maneuvers for smaller groups.

What the day feels like

What a day feels like

Choose a two-, four- or eight-hour block, meet the operator and head out for a compact, assured day on the water: the Glastron’s tower lets you run wakeboards or skis, the stereo keeps the mood lifted, and the Bimini offers relief from summer sun. Its modern fit and finish and stable hull make docking straightforward whether you plan to stop at a beach for a swim or keep moving along the lake.
