Kayak Rentals

Description

If you are looking to try kayaking in one of the most beautiful places in the world, come and rent at Deep Cove Kayak! We have one of the largest kayak rental fleets in Canada, with a diverse range of boats suitable for beginners to advanced paddlers, that can accommodate all shapes and sizes. Our knowledgeable staff can assist you with picking the right watercraft for your needs from our rental fleet which consists of plastic and fiberglass single and double kayaks as well as stand up paddleboards, surfskis, and dragon boats.

You can rent for a minimum of two hours, take the whole day, or go for a multi-day rental if you want to explore further afield or camp down Indian Arm in our expedition-worthy double kayaks.  If you are not sure of where you want to go, our staff can give you advice on the best places to see wildlife, scenery and where to paddle in our calm waters.

We also offer Season’s Passes for either single kayaks, double kayaks, surf skis or stand up paddleboards from $495 for the season.

All kayak rentals include paddle, PFD, whistle, spray skirt, bailing device and 15m of tow line, and all single kayaks have double bulkheads for safety if capsized.

We highly recommend that you reserve ahead to ensure that we have the right boat available for you. Call us at 604-929-2268 to Reserve & Inquire.

ATTENTION SEASON PASS HOLDERS

Each year, all season pass holders will need to demonstrate their capsize recovery skills. Deep Cove Kayak values the safety of all of our paddlers and we feel practicing the critical skill of capsize recovery is needed each season if not more often. You can demonstrate a capsize recovery for us by the following means:

Deep Cove Kayak Centre’s four Sea Kayaking Basics lessons. Including Introduction to Ocean Kayaking, Introduction to Capsize Recovery, Bracing and Edging and Solo Paddling. This four pack lesson series can be purchased for $280 plus tax (note: with a season pass you receive a 10% discount on all lessons and tours).
Spend one hour refreshing you capsize recovery skills in Deep Cove alongside one of our instructors with our Recovery Refresher course. Recommended for paddlers who have taken a capsize course before, but would like to refresh their technique. $25 Saturdays (2019 dates to be announced)
Practice on your own and demo it to us. Contact Deep Cove Kayak Centre to set up a time to demonstrate your capsize recovery skills in front of the paddling centre. This can be done in 10 minutes and is recommended only for those paddlers competent in their solo recovery skills. Please note that the employee witnessing your refresher must be a Manager, Supervisor or Instructor.
