THE KAYAKS

Stable, beginner-friendly craft

The single kayaks are designed to be stable and easy to maneuver, making them a straightforward option for those newer to paddling as well as for seasoned users wanting a simple, reliable boat.

THE GEAR

Paddle and PFD included

Each rental comes with a paddle and a life jacket (PFD) provided by the operator, so you arrive ready to launch without needing to bring primary flotation or propulsion equipment.

THE TIMING

Rental blocks to suit your day

Choose from three rental durations—two hours, four hours, or a full day (eight hours)—so you can tailor the outing to a short excursion or a longer paddle.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

This is a self-paced rental: you pick your block of time, get issued a paddle and life jacket, and head out in a single kayak that prioritizes stability and ease of handling. The setup makes it simple to focus on the water and the rhythm of paddling rather than technical boat handling.
