Description
Our most popular option! A variety of recreational- and fishing-style, sit-on-top tandem kayaks for two people, or two adults and one small child (under 42 inches in height). Also a limited number of sit-in, canoe-style vessels – ask at the window for availability of this type. A doggie favorite.

Is it okay for a group of people to rent out a watercraft and then swap people in and out?
No. If a single kayak is rented, the person who signed the waiver form is the only person that can use the kayak. If a tandem kayak is rented, then only the two people who signed the waiver form can use the kayak. Thus, there is no transferring of rentals among people in a group.
