Apostle Islands Sea Kayak Rentals
For those with limited sea kayaking experience, we highly encourage taking a guided trip with us before renting. A guide provides experience and safety training and will teach paddling skills and trip planning during your trip.
Ready to head out on your own? We provide high-quality, well-performing sea kayaks for the journey. We wouldn't like to paddle a bathtub, and assume you wouldn't either! Our boats are simply the best on the market for what we do. We recommend choosing tandem kayaks for stability and faster paddling.
For safety we require all rental groups be at least TWO paddlers, and we require all renters take our Introductory Safety Course, or a comparable training from a reputable organization. You must have taken this training within the past 5 years.
Sea Kayak Rental Package includes: Kayak, paddle(s), life jacket(s), wet-suit(s), spray skirt(s), paddle float, bilge pump, and sponge, plus one spare paddle per group. Shuttles are extra.
Single Sea Kayaks
Single sea kayaks provide individual freedom, but are less stable than a tandem.

Due to current park service rules, outfitters cannot transport rentals WITHIN the park. We CAN shuttle to Bayfield. Therefore if we are providing your shuttle your trip must begin and end in Bayfield or Cornucopia.
You MAY transport single kayaks on your own vehicle to wherever you need to go. (A benefit to renting singles)

Tandem Sea Kayaks - Fiberglass
Tandem kayaks have greater storage capacity than single kayaks and are more stable. We recommend all renters have at least one tandem on every trip for safety and to aid with packing.
