Our Story

Born on the Water, Built on Trust

Brownlee Boat Rentals started with a simple idea: the Snake River is too beautiful to keep to yourself. Located just outside Cambridge, Idaho, we've been sharing the joy of boating with families, anglers, and visitors for over a decade.

We believe a day on the water shouldn't be complicated. That's why we keep things straightforward — clean boats, honest pricing, and a team that genuinely cares whether you have a great time. No hidden fees, no pressure. Just good people and good water.

M. Rodriguez

Boat Rental Customer

"I've fished the Snake River for years, but Brownlee showed me spots I never would've found on my own. The guide knew exactly where the fish were. Caught more in one morning than I usually do all season."
