Little Preparation Goes A Long Way
Please sign a waiver and reserve online. It will reduce surface contacts and allow us to dedicate more attention and space to you.
Respect safety guidelines.
- Everyone must wear face coverings(mask or bandana). Gloves are also recommended during check in and out.
- Bring gloves, zip-lock bags for your electronics, and wind jacket.
- When alone on the water you may remove face covering and gloves. But, you must put them back on before returning to the dock.
- Credit card is required for deposit or additional fees.
- Everyone will have to go through a 5 minute safety orientation.
Disinfect All And Repeat
We provide disinfected kayak, paddle, life jacket, pet life jacket, and dry bag. All surfaces, including dock and kayaks, and pens at check-in are disinfected after each use.
*Wind jackets are no longer provided.
What About Walk-ins?
Walk-in rentals are available, but we will serve reservation holders first. Still reduce personal contact by signing online or bringing a signed waiver.
Kayak Storage
If you own a kayak or buy a new kayak and need a place to store, you have a space just next to water. You pay for storage(from $55/month). It allows you to paddle contactless, unlimited, and anytime.
Gift Card
Buy gift certificates and send them to your family and friends, or use it yourself. They are emailed minutes after your purchase.
