Outing Highlights
A choice of recreational, sea and tandem boats
The rental fleet includes single recreational kayaks (11–13 ft), tandems (16 ft), sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Boats are from recognizable builders such as Necky and Old Town, giving renters a variety of hull types and sizes to match skill and party composition.
Everything you need is included
Each rental is issued with a life vest and paddle as standard; other kit supplied includes spray skirt, navigation chart, pump & float and, when appropriate, wetsuits. Car-top pads and straps are available upon request to simplify transport.
Simple pricing for group and solo options
Rates are published per craft type, starting at $190 for recreational and sit-on-top kayaks, with tandems and specialty craft priced higher so parties can pick the configuration that balances cost and capacity.
What the day feels like
What the four-day rental feels like
You pick the boat that suits your trip—single, tandem, sea kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard—sign out the kit and take it for up to four days. The arrangement is intentionally self-directed: Midcoast Kayak supplies the essentials so you spend the days on the water exploring at your own pace and the evenings regrouping ashore.
