FAQs

Are dogs allowed?

Dogs are only allowed for kayak rentals. No furry friends for Paddle Board rentals.

Can beginners rent your kayak and paddleboard?

Yes! Our kayak & SUP rentals are beginner-friendly.

Do I need a car rack?

Nope! We provide straps and padding for your car top and assist you to properly secure the rentals on top.

Are the paddleboards stackable?

Our paddleboards are inflatable and can be stacked or, if needed, rolled up for transport. We have electric and hand pumps available to send with you if you need to deflate them.

So that our rentals can run smoothly, we do not offer refunds for no shows past that point. Thank you for understanding. :)
