Be Safe, Have Fun & Hire A Captain!
Our primary mission is to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable day on Lake CDA or the Spokane River. Our Captains are local to the area and would be glad to support you as a tour guide, for boaters under 25, real estate viewing, weddings, birthday parties, Bachelorette parties, Batchelor parties, corporate events, business deals, or other celebration requiring a designated driver.
We currently have four USCG licensed Captains on our team all with Master’s grades 25 ton and above. Our experience ranges from recreational boats, tugs and barges, ski or surf boats and our specialty of course Pontoons!
Additionally, we can Captain other people’s boats on Lake CDA, either owned or rented. Please call for availability, details and rates. Most of our Captains have more availability on weekends and require at least one week’s notice.

Our Boat Rentals in Coeur d’Alene are 100% Recommended!
Had an absolutely fantastic time on the water last summer with CDA Pontoons! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Thomas Peterson and his team truly go above and beyond to ensure you have a 5-star experience. The boat was in pristine condition, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. We had a blast, and it's clear that the team is dedicated to making sure every customer has an unforgettable time on the water. I highly recommend CDA Pontoons to anyone looking for a fun and hassle-free boating experience. Can't wait to get back out there soon! 5 stars all the way!
Great experience with CDA Pontoons! The boat was beautiful and worked perfectly! Staff was professional and pleasant! I highly recommend using this company!
We can’t thank you enough for a wonderful afternoon on your pontoon boat. Mekole was very helpful with our launch and arrival back. We would highly recommend anyone to use your company for a great time on Coeur D’Alene lake.
Rented the Grand Island pontoon yesterday, super nice boat and very professional team at CDA. Had a great time on the lake, Thanks for a wonderful day on the water!
Easy booking process, nice boat, nice people. We had a fun day on the lake!
My wife and I had a great time on our pontoon boat from cda pontoons. Mekole was amazing and helped us get launched as well as checked in periodically to see how we were enjoying things. It was nice to ask questions while we were out on the water. We would rent from them again.
CDA pontoons check all the boxes. Courteous, prompt, great communication, excellent customer service, and great prices! But they get 12 stars from me because they’re also flexible, forgiving, fun, easy to work with, they don’t nickel and dime, they care about your experience, and leave a lasting impression. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back next year! Thanks for everything!!
We rented a pontoon and had Captain Thomas for our friends bachelorette! Can’t recommend enough we got to tube and see the lake all while feeling so guilt about knocking back a few nooners. Any day on a pontoon is a good day but this was A GREAT DAY ON THE BOAT! Gina was super helpful and lovely all the way up to the launch as well. Great communication, understanding of how hard it can be to wrangle the girlies and made us feel very welcome in CDA! Captain Thomas even dropped us off dockside at our air bnb!
