Your rental covers the kayak, paddle, and the life jacket. There are a variety of kayak styles to choose from:
SIT-ON-TOP SEA KAYAKS
SINGLES & DOUBLES
Sit-on-top kayaks are an excellent option if you are new to kayaking. As the name suggests, you sit on top of them rather than inside them, and they are very good at staying upright and afloat. They are self-bailing, so you can use them without having any past experience on a kayak.
TRADITIONAL SEA KAYAKS
SINGLES & DOUBLES
Traditional kayaks require you to sit inside them rather than on top. This gives you certain advantages, but it requires an experienced kayaker. If you want to rent a traditional kayak, you must haven taken an introductory class in which you practiced capsizing and self-rescues.
SUP PRICES & EQUIPMENT
$25/hour
SUP
Minimum charge is for one hour then we pro-rate based on additional time every fifteen minutes.

Your rental includes a stand up paddleboard, a paddle, and a life jacket. You will have many stand up paddleboards to choose from
STAND UP PADDLEBOARD
The stand up paddleboard looks like a large, heavy surfboard, and like a surfboard, you stand on it. However, here in the bay, rather than being propelled by waves you’ll be using a long paddle to move forward. Balance can be an issue so it’s best to start with a wider board. Stand Up paddling offers an excellent core workout. We have very stable beginner boards and 12’6″ touring boards for intermediate and advance paddlers.
MONSTER STAND UP PADDLEBOARD ( Temporarily unavailable)
The ‘Monster or Halibut’ SUP is a multiple person Stand Up Paddleboard. 2-6 people plus a few dogs. This board is a hoot and definitely worth taking out. It is extremely popular with groups of friends, families and kids parties.* $50/hour for 2 people, additional paddlers $10/person/hour.
