Harrison Idaho Boat Rentals provides watercraft rentals on Lake Coeur d'Alene, operating from Gateway Marina. The business offers a range of rental options to suit solo paddlers, pairs, and families: Tandem Kayak Rental, Mini X single kayak rental, Paddleboard Rental, and two 21-foot Chaparral bowrider boats suited for skiing, fishing, and family outings.
Each kayak and paddleboard rental includes a life jacket and paddle. Kayaks launch with immediate access from Gateway Marina, and customers may choose delivery or transport their craft themselves. The two Chaparral bowrider options—one noted as a Ski / Fish model and one as a general 21' Chaparral—offer room for multiple passengers, wake towers or bimini tops, and available towables. Free dock delivery is provided for the Chaparral bowriders. Dog-friendly options and towables are offered for added convenience and family fun.
Harrison Idaho Boat Rentals focuses on straightforward, equipment-included rentals that prioritize lake access and convenience. The business lists clear trip summaries for each rental type so renters know what gear and services are included. Prospective renters can verify availability, delivery options, and specific boat capacity when booking.
