Tandem Kayak: Sit-on-Top Rental

The kayak has a maximum weight capacity of 500 pounds. This limit includes both paddlers, any small passengers or pets using the center jump seat, and all gear. Exceeding 500 pounds lowers the hull in the water and causes excess water to wash up through the scupper drainage holes.

Yes, a single paddler can operate the kayak effectively. By sitting in the molded-in center seat position, a solo paddler maintains proper fore-and-aft balance and trim for controlled tracking and steering.

Yes, you should expect to get wet during your trip. Because this is an open-deck sit-on-top kayak, water enters through normal paddle drips, splashing, and the self-bailing scupper holes, which are designed to drain water out automatically.

This kayak is designed for calm bays, marshes, slow-moving flatwater, and coastal waters with light surf. It is not engineered for heavy ocean surf or whitewater rapids.

Each rental includes the tandem kayak, two kayak paddles, and two adjustable life vests. The included life vests can be adjusted by each paddler to ensure a safe, snug fit before getting on the water.

No, you do not need to be present when your equipment arrives or departs. Your kayak will be delivered to the ground level of your rental home by {deliveryTime} on your scheduled start date. On your pickup date, simply place the kayak, paddles, and life vests back in the original drop-off location by {pickupTime}, making sure the gear is not locked in a porch, closet, or garage.
