Renting Kayaks, Paddle Boards, and Bikes from Woods & Waters
Why haul it when you can rent it?
Somewhere on I-75 right now, someone is driving north with a kayak strapped willy-nilly to a roof rack, paddles bungeed to the side mirror, and absolutely no room left in the back seat for the kids — or maybe even your spouse. We've all seen it. We've maybe been it.
There's a better way. Woods & Waters rents high-quality kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and bikes — so you can leave the gear at home and show up with just yourself and whatever fits in a normal-sized vehicle.
Renting also happens to be a great opportunity to try equipment that's genuinely better than what most people own. Our kayak fleet includes well-designed sea kayaks and sit-on-tops that perform considerably better than the $200 floating bathtub in most garages. Our bikes and paddleboards are the same story. People who rent from us for the first time are regularly surprised at how nice everything is — including the PFDs, the paddles, the helmets. All associated gear is included with every rental.
The detail most people don't know about
If you rent something and fall in love with it, we'll apply 50% of what you paid for that rental toward the purchase of that piece of gear when we're ready to sell it. Current season rentals only — this isn't a credit that carries over from previous years. But it's a genuinely good deal and a low-risk way to test-drive something before committing.
We regularly cycle gear out of the fleet to keep things fresh. Some gear is available now. Current season gear typically starts becoming available in August — sea kayaks, sit-on-tops, SUPs, bikes. If you're interested in purchasing, ask to be added to our used gear contact list or check back with us mid-season.
A few practical details
Kayak and SUP rentals are available as a 3-hour, 8-hour, or multi-day rental. Bike rentals are available as a 4-hour, 8-hour, or multi-day rental. Multi-day rates decrease the longer you rent. For multi-day rentals, delivery and pickup are included in the LCI area — St. Martin's Point to McKay Bay. Beyond that we're happy to deliver for a fee.
Fleet is limited — especially for specific boat models and bike sizes. Book early if you have something specific in mind.
