| When you take a tour, the kayak and equipment are provided for you. All you have to do is show up and have a good time! Many people who take a lesson already own a kayak and should use it to learn the various paddle strokes and rescue techniques. If you need a kayak, I usually have one you can use during the lesson. Rentals If you want to go kayaking on your own, we do rent nice kayaks . I usually charge $35 for a half day rental (4 hours) in the Venice area. That includes delivery, pick-up and the sales tax. $40 for Lido Key or Englewood - still a bargain as I do the transport and lifting! When you call to rent a kayak, we hold it for you instead of letting someone else use it. Then we load the kayak and all the gear you need and deliver it to you. We want it to be as easy as possible for you to enjoy your kayaking. Calling ahead to reserve a kayak helps. If we are booked solid with tours, there may be no rental kayaks available if you wait until the last second. Please do not order a couple kayaks, have us drive an hour to meet you, and then "change your mind" like Jim did...we are trying to help you! If you want to handle renting a kayak by yourself, there are a number of excellent rental shops that can supply you with a kayak that will fit your needs as far as your size and weight; your ability to load and unload the kayak; and your purpose for getting the kayak (touring, sightseeing, research, fishing, scuba-diving, etc). You can click on Links for a list of local shops, search the web or the Yellow Pages to call the shops best suited for you. You will be shown the difference between a recreational kayak and one used for touring; and will be shown kayaks that you sit ON, or sit IN. Each and every kayak is different. Don't bother getting a kayak that "will let you keep up with all those faster paddlers" if you want to relax and take it easy. This is your life, so get a kayak that suits your purpose. If you are taking a short trip or going fishing, sit-on-tops are a good choice. If you're offered a sit-in kayak with a large cockpit, but very little flotation, find out how you would get the water out if the kayak were swamped somehow. It's useful to know these things! If you want some training in kayak basics and safety, let the rental shop know you will be practicing rescues and will need to learn how to get back INTO the boat after going overboard. The shop should be able to provide the right boat for you. (See me for the lessons!) The kayak shop will provide a way for you to carry the kayak safely on your car, and return it to them. They also provide a paddle, and personal flotation device (PFD) with a whistle, bell or a horn...as required by state law in Florida. You'll have help unloading and loading the kayak at the sites we use for tours or training. We look forward to seeing you. |
