Sea Kayak Rentals
San Juan Outfitters will rent traditional sea kayak equipment to outdoor professionals with the appropriate training, and who possesses a BCU 4* certification or greater. The waters surrounding the San Juan Islands can pose real danger to anyone but trained professionals. If you are one of these people, feel free to contact us regarding sea kayak rentals. If you are not an outdoor professional, consider one of our 3-hour or 5-hour kayak tours, or our recreational kayaks described above. Please inquire about our private tour costs.
Looking for a multiday sea kayak tour rentals? Schedule a custom self-supported multiday tour! Also called a "self-guided" tour, this tour is an ideal experience for scout groups, school camps, or experienced outdoors people who have the needed camping equipment to operate a multiday tour, but lack the sport specific sea kayak equipment and professional knowledge of the waterways surrounding the San Juan Islands to safely execute a multiday sea kayak camping tour. That's where we come in! Please inquire for reservations and availability.
What our customers are saying:
Friendly, Informative & a lot of fun! Customer service was wonderful. My family of five enjoyed renting the hourly kayak. We cruised around Roche Harbor enjoying the new experience. We rented 2 doubles and a single. Our kids ages 6, 7, and 12 had a wonderful time. We even had the added enjoyment of seeing a harbor seal playing in the water nearby.
