THE ROUTE

Before you launch the staff will discuss route choices based on current tide and wind conditions, and they offer a pick-up service so you don’t have to fight an unfavorable tide on the return.

THE RATES

Hourly to full‑day pricing

Flexible rental windows let you choose one hour, two hours, four hours or a full day, with clear pricing for each option.

What the day feels like

What it feels like on the water

A rental is a simple, self-directed paddle: pick a board, review route suggestions with staff, head into the back waterways and settle into a pace that matches the tides—operators will even retrieve you if you prefer a one-way outing.

Suitability

3
Larger ridersThere is a stated maximum weight of up to 250 pounds for renters; confirm suitability before booking if you approach that limit.
