Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VIEW

A unique vantage from a clear-hulled kayak

Clear kayaks offer a different way to read the water and surroundings, giving paddlers a more immediate visual connection to the environment beneath and around them while they explore independently.

THE PACE

Self-guided freedom for up to three hours

Rentals are self-guided and allow you to set your own route and tempo for the duration of the rental period, so you can linger where you like or keep moving until your time is up.

THE BOAT

Tandem kayaks built for two

Each clear kayak is a tandem craft that seats two people; plan your outing around paired paddling and the craft’s capacity limitations.

What the day feels like

What it feels like on the water

The outing moves at your speed: launch, paddle through calm water in a near-silent kayak with a transparent hull, and return within the three-hour rental window. Without a guide, you control when to rest, turn back, or push on—making the trip as relaxed or active as you prefer.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should reconsider.

1
Paired paddlers & couplesIdeal: each kayak seats two people, making the rental well suited to pairs who want a shared, self-guided outing.
2
Solo paddlersLess ideal: kayaks are tandem and designed for two occupants; solo paddlers should plan to share a craft with a partner rather than expect a single-seat boat.
3
Heavier individualsNot suitable if a single occupant exceeds 250 lbs or if combined weight in a kayak exceeds 425 lbs—weight limits are enforced for safety.
4
Active day-trippersGood match for people seeking a short self-guided paddle—rentals are limited to a maximum of three hours, so plan your route accordingly.
