Apostle Islands Sea Kayak Rentals
For those with limited sea kayaking experience, we highly encourage you to take a guided trip with us before renting and going alone. A guide has experience and safety training who will teach you paddling skills and trip planning along the way.
Ready to head out on your own? We provide high-quality, well-performing sea kayaks for your 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. For first-timers we recommend renting tandem kayaks due to greater stability and with two paddlers you'll make faster progress in wind.
We require that every paddler take our Introductory Safety Course, or a comparable course from a reputable organization before we will rent you sea kayaks. You must have taken this training within the past 5 years.
Packages include the kayak, paddles, life jackets, wet-suits, spray skirts, paddle float, bilge pump, and sponge, plus one spare paddle per group. Shuttles are extra.
Single Sea Kayaks
*Renting Singles - Read This First*
Due to current park service rules outfitters cannot transport rentals within the park. Therefore if you are renting you must either transport equipment on your own vehicle, or if we transport your gear you will need to start and end your trip in Cornucopia or Bayfield.
Please contact us with questions prior to requesting a rental.
Single sea kayaks are the option for those interested in going solo, and who know that they can paddle in waves and wind.
