THE BOAT

Ten‑foot, single‑seat sit‑ins for day trips

THE RULES

Rentals run by the day—return by dark

THE KIT

Paddle and PFD come with every rental

Each rental includes a paddle and a personal flotation device so you arrive ready to launch with the essentials.

What the day feels like

What a rental feels like

A Kayak Rental is a straightforward, single‑day affair: you take a compact, 10‑foot sit‑in kayak outfitted with a paddle and PFD and spend the day on the water, returning the craft by dark.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Solo paddlersA natural fit—these are one‑person kayaks designed for single occupants and day trips.
2
Day‑trippersIdeal for visitors looking for a straightforward day on the water, since rentals are issued by the day.
3
Paddlers near the weight limitNote the 300‑pound capacity—those at or under the limit will fit, those over should seek a higher‑capacity craft.
4
Overnight or multi‑day campersNot a good match—these kayaks are designated for day use and must be returned by dark, so they aren’t suitable for overnight trips.
