On a sunlit morning at Priest Lake, a 22-foot Chaparral bowrider slides off Bishop’s Marina and into long, clear water framed by steep forested ridges. This is Upper Priest Lake, near Coolin, Idaho, a glacial lake in the Idaho Panhandle where islands, narrow channels and sheltered coves reward boaters who want skiing, tubing and easy exploration.
Crown Jewel Rentals runs this Chaparral Bowrider • 10 Passenger (Blue), a 240-horsepower, 22-foot boat with a Bimini top, dining table and step-thru bow that makes waterside picnics and wake sports effortless. The company meets guests at Crown Jewel Rentals to sign paperwork, then escorts renters to Bishops Marina to launch; renters must be 18 or older to operate. Life vests, tow ropes, anchors and water toys are included, and the boat comes with a full tank—return it refueled to avoid fees. Fishing isn’t permitted on bowrider models, and multi-day renters are encouraged to keep a dock overnight to simplify turnaround.
What sets this rental apart is its mix of power and comfort: enough thrust for confident skiing and tubing behind crisp wakes, a roomy deck for ten people to spread out, and a shaded cockpit for cooling off between runs. Blue water, tall conifers right to the shoreline, and the high ridgelines of the surrounding lake country create cinematic sightlines that are ideal for sunset runs and slow afternoons anchored off a sandbar.
Practical advantages matter here, too. Crown Jewel’s single-day window is a generous nine hours—longer than many competitors—and they offer a $50 Military/Veteran/First Responder discount on the first day. Parking at the marina is ample, anchors are provided, and Bluetooth speakers are available on request.
Plan around wind and weekday traffic: mornings are glassy for skiing, afternoons bring thermals through the lake’s narrows. Bring a cooler stocked with water and snacks, and remember that anchoring care preserves fragile shoreline plants. Upper Priest Lake has long been used for travel and subsistence by Indigenous peoples and later for logging and recreation; today the lake remains a backyard-scale wild place prized by locals.
Book early—Crown Jewel Rentals sells out, and the reservation holds with a 25% deposit refundable with 72-hour notice. Check fuel and refill rules before launch, ask about Bluetooth speakers and extra water toys at the shop, and expect to leave the marina with maps and a brief safety briefing so your day on Upper Priest Lake goes smoothly today.
