Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with a rental at Glacier Wake?

Rentals from Glacier Wake include life jackets, safety equipment, fuel, cooler storage, a bimini top and a Bluetooth stereo. Amenities vary by boat and by season, so confirm what comes with the boat you book.

How old do you have to be to rent a boat in Montana?

Montana sets no rental age in law; the rental company sets its own. What the state sets is who may operate. Children 12 or younger may not operate a motorboat or a personal watercraft powered by a motor rated at more than 10 horsepower unless accompanied by someone 18 or older. Youths of 13 and 14 may not operate those vessels without a valid Montana motorboat operator's safety certificate or evidence of completing an approved boating safety course. So 13 is the youngest an unsupervised operator can be, and only with that certificate. Confirm the rental company's own minimum when booking.

Do you need a boating license in Montana?

Montana does not require a boating license or education card for most adult recreational operators. For motorboats and personal watercraft over 10 horsepower, children 12 or younger may operate only when accompanied by someone 18 or older. Operators ages 13 and 14 must have a Montana motorboat operator’s safety certificate or proof of an approved boating safety course, unless accompanied by someone 18 or older.

A person must be at least 18 to rent one of these vessels, so rental customers are not subject to the youth certificate rule or a temporary renter certificate requirement. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks administers boating education.

Where can you go boating from Whitefish, Montana?

From Whitefish, you can boat Whitefish Lake, continue into the Whitefish River, or trailer to Tally Lake for a separate day trip. Whitefish Lake offers boating and water-skiing, with a public launch at Whitefish Lake State Park. At its confluence with the lake, the Whitefish River becomes a slower route: controlled no-wake applies to JP Road, and the section from the railroad trestle to JP Road allows only manual or electric power. Tally Lake also supports boating and water-skiing, with a ramp and dock at Tally Lake Campground.
