Kayak Availability and Group Reservations
We rent kayaks on a first come first served basis and the availability of our kayaks is generally very good.
Reservations are only accepted for prepaid groups of ten or more. For weekend reservations, start times must begin before 10:00am. If you have a group and want to make a reservation or customize a midweek event, please contact our guide service coordinator on our contact page.
We primarily rent recreational sit-on-top and sit inside kayaks appropriate for total beginners and those looking to go on a leisurely paddle. Those that have taken an instructional class equivalent to our Kayaking Skills and Safety class may rent sea touring kayaks.
