Our prices are per boat and not per person. All rental boat rates include service and transportation, life jackets, cushions and paddles appropriate to the boat and the paddlers. We do not charge by time as we want you to relax and enjoy yourselves. Aluminum 17’ Tandem canoes have two seated paddling positions and two center wells for extra passengers or gear. Maximum capacity is 650 lbs. Including passengers and gear. Generally we limit capacity to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids. Coolers and gear may restrict occupancy. Kayaks are singles or doubles only and have limited gear space. Call us if you have specific occupancy or load questions. These rates cover most of our rental fleet. At times we may have specialty or high end boats available at different prices.

*There may be a minimum revenue amount and/ or number of boat rentals required for certain trips to Cockroach Bay, Braden river and other waterways. Call for details and trip arrangements. Customized groups rates are available.

All prices are plus sales tax where applicable and are subject to change without notice.

Group rates: We offer a $5.00 discount on canoes or double kayaks and a $4.00 discount on single kayaks to groups renting 6 or more boats in any combination. A 7 day advance reservation is required to get the group rate so we can better plan to serve your group. Please see our Group Trips page and call us to plan your outing.
