Kayak & SUP Rentals

We require that anyone renting our kayaks stay within a designated “Shore Zone” unless someone in their group is a skilled kayaker with experience rescuing a capsized kayak. That means that you will not be able to paddle to the nearby islands (including Fort Gorges) if someone in your group does not know how to re-enter a kayak after a capsize. Anyone who paddles onto the exposed waters of Casco Bay without this knowledge (or someone else who has that knowledge) is taking an extremely high risk. Casco Bay is a potentially dangerous environment due to its very cold waters, busy boat traffic and exposure to the conditions of the Atlantic Ocean (including sudden fog and strong winds). It can be extremely difficult to re-enter a kayak in cold and turbulent water.

No prior kayaking experience is required to rent our recreation kayaks. However, we do require that anyone launching at our East End Beach site with these kayaks remains within a designated “shore zone.” These kayaks are great for exploring the coastline, but they are not well-suited for the open-water conditions found further out in Casco Bay. Our recreational kayaks are generally quite stable and spacious, and they fit a wide range of people. Depending on weather conditions staff may need to limit rental options at their discretion to ensure a safe paddling experience.

Included with rental: Paddle, lifejacket, drybag.

Our solo sea kayak rentals are generally for experienced sea kayakers only. These long and narrow boats are very different than the kayaks many people are accustomed to using on lakes and rivers. They are much more seaworthy, but they require a higher level of experience. Anyone paddling to the islands of Casco Bay must have capsize recovery experience.

Included with rental: Paddle, lifejacket, drybag, sprayskirt.
