Colter’s Bay Marina is a great spot on Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. The views of the Tetons are excellent, and the location is convenient for anyone visiting the area. We rented a motorboat and had a smooth experience. The boat was clean and reliable, and the staff was friendly and helpful with the rental process. They also offer kayaks, canoes, and scenic cruises. The marina store has snacks, drinks, fishing supplies, and basics you might need. The boat launch area is well maintained, and everything felt organized and easy to use. It’s a solid choice for getting out on the water without hassle. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the park and want to enjoy the lake. Good service and beautiful setting.

Absolutely beautiful scenery, we just the afternoon boat tour. It was worth every penny. Our guide, Brooke was a delight, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable..

My wife & I recently took a scenic boat cruise on Jackson Lake & it was wonderful. Brooke was our tour guide & first mate and was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She has a great, funny personality and is very knowledgeable of the area. She's a great story teller & kept us entertained the entire cruise. Our Captain did a great job handling the boat as well. Thanks to all that made our trip extremely enjoyable!

My husband and I checked in to our lodging and were told about the breakfast cruise. When we went to buy tickets they only had one ticket left. We asked Elena to call us if there was a cancellation. Later that evening Elena called and was able to get both my husband and I tickets. The breakfast cruise was beautiful! Faith was our guide and she was fantastic and friendly and full of knowledge. The views and the food were incredible. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. If you get the chance to get to do the cruise i strongly recommend!
