These open sit‑on kayaks at Kenmore are built for easy entry and exit and feature self‑bailing cockpits — a straightforward rental that puts uncomplicated, family‑oriented paddling within reach for short half‑day outings. Expect a boat that tolerates a little splash and keeps the focus on being on the water rather than on technical rigging.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Open, Self‑Bailing Sit‑On Design

These are open kayaks that are easy to get in and out of and are self‑bailing — they will take on a little water and shed it, so getting a bit wetter is part of the experience.

THE FIT

Family‑Friendly Capacity

The rental configuration is tailored for families: either two adults and a toddler (5 years or younger) or one adult, one youth and a toddler (5 years or younger).

THE PACE

Short, Flexible Rentals

Rentals are available in 1–4 hour blocks, making it easy to slot a paddle into a morning or afternoon without committing to a full day.

What the day feels like

What the Rental Feels Like

You step into an open cockpit, settle into a wide, stable platform and push off for a short excursion: the craft’s self‑bailing design means the trip is less about keeping the boat bone‑dry and more about relaxed time on the water with family. Rentals are short and adaptable, ideal for sampling paddling without a heavy gear commitment.
