- If you go out on your own, you will be in a sit-on-top kayak. A one person kayak is $30 for up to 4 hours and a two person kayak is $50 for up to 4 hours. We close at 6:00, so you need to start your rental by 2:00 if you want to use the entire 4 hours
- Overnight charge for sit-on-top kayaks is $25.00 per boat
- If you go out with a guide, you will be in a cockpit style kayak. Please view the Kayak Tour Schedule for tour rates. Most tours are for 2 hours in the afternoon with times varying due to tides.

Preparation:
- Protect yourself from the sun. Sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended. Remember that the sun is strongest in the middle of the day.
- We recommend that you wear fast drying clothing (not cotton) and understand that you will get wet!
- Dry bags are included with your rental on a first come, first serve basis. We can not guarantee that items will not get wet and encourage you not to take anything of value with you. We will not be held responsible for any loss or damage to your items. We also sell a variety of dry bags and dry cases.
- High wind speeds and the direction of the wind can make it difficult to kayak. If you are a beginner or have young children with you, we suggest that you go out when the wind is low. If the wind is too high, we will not be able to rent to you.
- You must wear your lifevest (PFD) at all times!

What type of SUP boards do you rent? we are looking for displacement boards to rent in August when we visit P-town.
Hi- We have ACS boards from Bic Sport in 10’4″ and 11’4″. You can check out the specs here: http://www.bicsup.com/products/choose-your-board,58.html#ACS. Sounds like it’s not the style you’re looking for, but hope you have a great trip to Ptown!
We’re looking to take SUP lessons during the week of August 12th. “We” is 2 middle-aged women who have never done SUP before. Are you willing to take us on??
I think we can handle it! We have an instructor that you can schedule a lesson with. Just give us a call at the shop to let us know when you are available and we can set something up. We are at 508-487-9442. Thanks!
How is your availability for two SUP rentals over Labor Day weekend?
Hi- Good right now, but if the weather is good, we will probably have all of them on the water. We have a class on Sunday morning, so some will be reserved for that, but the class ends at 10am. It is definitely a good idea to make a reservation. Our deposit policy is on the web site if you want to take a look at it before reserving. Hope to see you at the shop!
Are dogs allowed on two person kayaks?
Hi- Yes, dogs are allowed on the kayaks. There is not that much space, so a smaller dog is easier to fit. Keep in mind that it can be difficult if the dog moves around a lot because it throws off your stability. A day with less wind will be easier and you can always give us a call to check on the conditions. We also recommend that your dog has a life vest. We have been very busy, so a reservation is a good idea. Thanks for your interest!
Can u rent in the rain?
Hi Michael- We do sometimes rent kayaks and paddle boards when it is raining, but usually only if it is warm and it is a light rain that may be coming and going. If there is wind or fog, we would not rent when it is raining. Today, we opened at 9am and the there has been off-and-on rain, but it is just not that warm, so we decided to close for the day. Ultimately, we just want our customers to enjoy themselves and not everyone enjoys rain! You can always give us a call at 508-487-9442 or email us at ventureathletics@hotmail.com Thanks!
