We rented a deck boat for 5 days. The staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. The boat had plenty of space for 8 people and a mini dachshund, was well appointed and ran great. We would go out of our way to rent from Martina again. read more

Great day on the lake thanks to A Day On The Lake! Rented a WaveRunner for 2 hours in the morning and a boat for 4 hours in the afternoon. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The two guys who worked to get our craft ready and walk us through the basics really did a great job. The equipment was in top condition, clean, and ran perfectly. We'd definitely rent from them again. read more

We rented a pontoon boat to spend a day on Lake Pend Orielle. Our experience with their staff was very pleasant. The reservation was easy to make. On the day of rental there was a small amount of paperwork to fill out then the dock crew gave us instructions on how to run the boat. Before you knew it we were out on the water. While we rented a pontoon boat they also rent jet skis, ski boats, paddle boards etc. I thought their pricing was reasonable. They do offer a small cash discount. Next to the boat rental shack is a restaurant and bar which was nice to have as an option for some food and drink. Overall our rental experience was very pleasant and the day out on the lake was very memorable. I would recommend this spot any time for rentals. read more

What a fun day with our pup on the lake! These folks were so friendly and helpful beyond expectations. The boat was well maintained and there were ZERO complications. The price was very reasonable and departure from Bottle Bay started us right in the middle of where we wanted to be! read more

Just enjoyed an incredible day out on the lake with a very nice pontoon boat! Martina the owner and the staff were so very nice and helpful! If you are looking for the best boating experience this is the place! Thank you Chet Hopkins read more

This place is owned by a nice lady named Martina. I just found it on the Internet thinking it was going to be close where we were staying. She responded quickly to my call and we communicated quite frequently with text as well. The weather was horrible the day we rented so she actually just allowed me to change the day of my rental by two days to accommodate a nicer day. The boat that we rented was a pontoon boat that was perfect for what we needed just a cruise around on the lake. We took our paddleboard and our fishing rods and lunch. The fellows that she has working for her Dylan, and Quinn gave us the rundown on the operation of the boat as well as some ideas on where we should go, considering the lake is so freaking huge. All in all it was a perfect day, thanks Martina! BTW at the end of the day we stopped at the loaf and ladle and had a beer afterwards, excellent! read more

This business went above and beyond by texting us ahead of time to ensure they had the boat and availability for the day we wanted. They had flexible check in and ample staff to help us get all of our stuff on and off the boat. They gave us extensive instruction for how to manage the boat, and gave us a map explaining the lake since we weren't familiar. The boat was new and on great condition. We highly recommend this boat rental service. read more

Great family run business, supurb location. We have been renting from Day on the Lake for 8 years. Over that time we have rented 3 different pontoon boats, a ski boat and paddle boards. Service has been fantastic and all of the rentals of high quality, no issues. If you have not been to Bottle Bay, this would be a good reason to visit. We can't wait to return next year. read more

We rented one of the waverunners to ride along with our friend's boat. It was wonderful! Everyone was super nice and the wave runner was perfect. Thanks for a great day on the lake!! read more

Absolutely great place to rent a boat from. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They provide a safety and boating overview class as well as awareness of local laws. They also give you a map and will highlight great areas for sightseeing. I will definitely come back to them for our next vacation. read more

Awesome day on the lake! The owners are very friendly and the dock guys were incredibly knowledgeable! You have to ask about Annie the dog of you are an animal owner! We will definitely be back!! Thanks to all! read more

We rented a boat for the afternoon. Great way to explore the lake, because it is huge. Depths of 1000 felt are amazing. Never crowded so big it seems you have the lake to yourself. Several dockside boat access restaurants that are good. read more

Great service, well maintained and good selection of boats, extremely knowledgeable staff and competitive rates. These guys are the way to go if you're renting a boat on pend orielle. I've rented from a few other companies out on this lake and they're no where near as good or friendly as this crew. Thanks guys! read more

We rented a ski boat from A Day on the Lake today and it was great! We rented water skis and a tube for 8 hours. The owner and staff are very genuine and helpful. This place is only 9 miles outside Sandpoint and the location is fabulous. My family will definitely come here again and I will recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you for a fun day on the water! read more

We recently rented a Pontoon boat from A Day On The Lake rentals at Bottle Bay Resort and Marina in Sagle, ID near Sandpoint on Lake Pend Orielle. It was a last minute rental the day before and when we called they only had a really large boat available. We were a party of only 2 adults plus a dog, so it was way more boat than we needed, but since it was a holiday week (over the 4th) we were happy to get a boat so we booked it. Next I will tell you that this place is a little hard to find and do not rely on your phone as their is no service out there! We found it, but did get a little turned around. When we arrived at the tiny little rental office it was pretty chaotic, lots of people arriving for their rentals. We had to wait way longer than we thought we would have to. Upon completing our paperwork we found that they had switched us into a smaller boat, which was no problem for us....but they still ran my credit card for the larger boat. It was a $50 plus tax rental difference. I spoke up and they acted very irritated that I wanted to be charged for the correct boat, however they did correct the transaction. To their credit, I do not think they were trying to rip us off, I think they just were busy and flustered and hadn't kept really good track of who got what and it was a hassle to re-run the whole transaction. They keep their records on paper and the whole process was very unorganized. So why do you ask do I give them 4 stars...... because all the hassle was worth it. The boat was in very good condition. It is obvious that they take pride in keeping care of them. We have rented other boats on vacation and we have never received the quality of boat operation instruction that the boat crew did here. We loved being out on the water in Lake Pend Orielle! It was a wonderful day on the water and well worth the money. Upon return the crew quickly ties up your boat, refuels, and lets you know how much you owe for fuel. And then you are on your way. Despite the rough start with the billing, I would not hesitate to rent from them again! read more

This is not true. You had power and boats. Take responsibility when your service and boats are subpar. I'd never use your business again. You were rude and tried to rip us off. Thank God I watched my credit card statement. Not sure how you are still in business. CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!! read more

We had a great time renting a ski boat just to cruise around the lake. The staff were very helpful and answered every question (even though I'm sure they had heard the questions a hundred times before). We had rented a jet ski from them once but I had never used a ski boat before. After they explained everything to us and helped us out of the dock, I felt confident enough to proceed. What a fun time. Highly recommended. read more

We had a family reunion on the lake and although we had a boat, it wouldn't allow all of us to have a day on the water together. We rented a pontoon boat from "A Day on the Lake" at the Bottle Bay Marina. When we arrived at 10:00, the staff greeted us with big smiles, with the paperwork ready for a couple signatures and the boat waiting. The boats there are immaculate with a wide range of boats for all needs. Our 24' pontoon was perfect with lots of seating and storage and shade. A few safety tips and we were off for a perfect day on the lake. I can't say enough about the whole day, it was a great experience made possible by a great business. One note, at one of our stops at a dock that day we parked along side another pontoon from another marina. No comparison, they wanted to know where we got our boat and said they picked the wrong rental. read more

The day on the lake was super accommodating! The party boat we had from them was in top conition. The service was gracious. Will definitely be back again. read more
