THE KIT

What the day feels like

This is a brief, practical paddle: arrive, unlock your pre‑reserved kayak with the MasterLock app, push off with the provided paddle and life jacket, then return and secure the equipment when your slot ends — reservations are offered in one‑ and two‑hour increments.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this setup works for — and what to keep in mind.

1
Self‑sufficient paddlersIdeal for visitors comfortable following written or app‑based instructions and handling all aspects of launch and return themselves.
2
Time‑pressed visitorsGood for short outings — one‑hour slots are available — but plan efficiently because an hour allows little margin for setup and return.
3
Leisure paddlers who want more timeIf you want a relaxed on‑water session, book a two‑hour slot; operators note that an hour can feel very short.
4
Groups that can coordinate timingBest for groups that can arrive, launch, and return within their reserved window and follow the checkout/lockback procedure.
