Canoes, kayaks and SUPs for every paddling plan

Reserve in advance and understand cancellation terms
All rentals must be reserved in advance; at booking a cancellation fee equal to one day’s rental per boat is charged and is non‑refundable if you cancel or don’t show. Rates are quoted per calendar day with no half‑day option.
Pickups during store hours, plan returns accordingly
Pickup is only available within store hours — there are no after‑hours pickups — and those who return boats after hours remain responsible for them until staff check them in the following morning. Long‑weekend rentals require a minimum three‑day booking.
