Single sit on top: Our most popular and recommended kayak for all! These are stable, easy to use and maneuver kayaks. Easily used by a strong 6 year old to a 300lb 6’6” person. These also have a jump seat in the bow for a non paddling rider ages 5 & under or a dog! (yes we offer dog PFD’s too)!
The sit on top style kayaks are extremely safe as they do not have a cockpit. They are self bailing, and are easily flipped back over and are considered it’s own floatation device. There is a wheel on the stern for easy transportation to and from the beach as well as bungies bow and stern for coolers and gear storage.

Double(Tandem) sit on top These are stable and highly recommended for all use. They track well and hold up to two adults and two children each! Only two paddlers per kayak, so children wishing to paddle should have their own seat. These are also self bailing, which means they are unsinkable and have bungie storage for gear.

Single Sea Kayak Intermediate to advanced paddler. These rentals come with bilge pump, float bag and spray skirt upon request at no additional charge and are for paddlers already familiar with self or T-rescue. To rent a sea kayak you will be asked to either demonstrate or verbally explain rescues.

Double(Tandem) Sea kayak intermediate to advanced paddlers- more stable than single sea kayaks- 14 to 22 feet in length. Rudder optional. These kayaks are best for ocean and long distance paddles. These are part of the fleet we use for our overnight adventures to the Elizabeth Islands and Cuttyhunk.
