Seven Day Paddlesport Rental — delivery-ready kayaks and SUPs
If your itinerary includes multiple days on the water near Lake Stevens, this seven-day paddlesport rental supplies sit-inside touring tandems and singles, plus inflatable Red Paddle Co SUPs and Ocean Malibu II XL family sit-on-tops. The operator emphasizes stability and ease of use, making these rentals a practical choice for mixed-ability groups—parents with teens, small families, or friends who want reliable equipment for exploring local lakes and protected shorelines.
Practical touches matter: deliveries can be scheduled to a local launch to save transit time, and fittings/orientations are included so you leave confident in boat handling and safety equipment. Age and weight guidance is available through the operator; all renters sign a waiver and must follow state BUI laws. For visitors who prize convenience and want to maximize paddle time without daily logistics, a week-long rental is an efficient, relaxed way to map out shoreline routes and quiet coves.

Brunch Tour — private charter with market delivery
For travelers seeking a social, low-effort luxury experience, the Brunch Tour offers a private morning cruise with an extensive à la carte menu and a customizable mimosa or Bellini bar. The operator coordinates with Fishermen’s Green Market & Deli: guests can shop in advance and have food and beverages delivered directly to the boat, creating a seamless floating picnic without the shopping run on the day of the cruise.
This is a short, purposeful experience—two or three hours—designed for couples or small groups (maximum six people). It’s ideal for celebrations, relaxed photography with water views, or for visitors who want a refined hour on the water without committing to a full-day rental. The meeting point is Fishermen’s Terminal Dock #9 in Seattle, which makes this an easy add-on if you’re basing in the Puget Sound corridor and heading to Lake Stevens afterward.

Long Term Comfort Neck Dry Suit Rental — breathable, user-friendly
When cooler-season paddling is on the agenda, a long-term dry suit rental lets you extend time on the water with confidence. This Comfort Neck semi-dry suit uses glide-skin neoprene gaskets for a softer, more comfortable seal that works well for sea kayaking, touring, and rafting. The operator can ship suits to your address or provide local pickup at Port Gamble—useful if your trip includes a sequence of shoreline launches or if you want to test fit before an outing.
The listing is explicit about care and liabilities: suits are inspected prior to shipping and renters are responsible for reasonable care and repair costs if damaged. A refundable damage deposit is required, and suits are not meant for scuba or other diving activities. For Lake Stevens visitors who plan multiple chilly outings or who want greater warmth without heavy layering, this rental balances dryness and comfort for extended-day use.

Long Term Full-Immersion Dry Suit Rental — traditional latex gasket
For paddlers who prioritize maximum water-tight security, the full-immersion dry suit option uses a traditional latex neck gasket and robust, breathable materials. Like the comfort-neck alternative, these suits are available for long-term rental and can be shipped or picked up locally. The operator highlights inspection standards and expects renters to follow care guidance—repair costs for gaskets or punctures are specified in the operator's terms.
This is a specialist rental for colder, more exposed conditions or for paddlers who prefer a tighter gasket interface. Renters should allow time for accurate sizing and be aware that trimming gaskets voids deposits; additional fees may apply for heavy cleaning or repair. For extended touring on Lake Stevens and nearby waters during cooler months, the tighter seal can meaningfully increase comfort and confidence.

Six Day Paddlesport Rental — family-friendly kayaks and SUPs
Very similar to the seven-day option in equipment mix and delivery service, the six-day paddlesport rental is a strong pick for visitors on a near-week schedule. The fleet includes touring tandem and single sit-inside kayaks, stable Red Paddle Co inflatables, and Ocean Malibu II XL sit-on-tops that accommodate one or two paddlers—a practical setup for families or groups with mixed experience.
Reserve in advance to guarantee the boat type you need; operators provide life jackets, safety equipment, and orientation. The operator’s waiver and safety rules are standard—wear your PFD and adhere to Washington’s BUI laws. If you want a compact extended trip that still allows two or three full days of exploration, this six-day package balances time on the water with straightforward logistics.

Five Day Paddlesport Rental — efficient option for weekend-into-week trips
The five-day paddlesport rental fits travelers who want more than a day but less than a week. Equipment mirrors the operator’s touring singles and tandems plus inflatable SUPs. Minimum age guidance (12+) makes this a clear family-friendly choice for groups traveling with older children or adolescents, and delivery options reduce hassle for visitors without tow vehicles.
Booking early secures specific boat types, especially tandems and family sit-on-tops. The operator includes essential paddling and safety equipment and requires standard waivers. For a compact outdoor escape centered on paddling and shoreline exploration, five days gives you time to sample multiple launch points and return rested.
