Groups seeking a simple outingGood match for groups that want a short, planned window on the water and will respect return times and equipment care to avoid damage or loss fees.
3
People who may abandon equipmentNot ideal for visitors likely to leave gear unattended or abandon a craft; retrieval fees apply if equipment must be recovered due to improper use or abandonment.
