Facts and Questions

What about alcohol?
It is our policy that alcohol and boating do not mix. We have the right to deny rental privileges to any intoxicated person and to refuse transportation in our vehicles as well. The river is patrolled on a regular basis and you can be fined and/or arrested for drinking and littering. Occasionally there are Water Craft Officers on the river that will ticket you for having an open container of alcohol.  We also will refuse to rent to anyone who has rented watercraft from us previously and returned intoxicated and disorderly.

Is there an age requirement?
We prefer that your child not need a car seat for transport.  Children over 8 or 80# are welcome.

​Can I use a Credit Card for payment?
 Yes, we accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover. 
 
How late can I stay on the River?
 When we close at 8:00 pm, our last trip is at 5:00 pm, and we require that you return by the closing time of 8:00 pm.  Please keep in mind that family time is important to us as well.

What should I take on the river?
Sunscreen, bug spray, watershoes or sandals that strap, sunglasses, weather appropriate clothing. 
Bring, rent or buy a dry bag to keep snacks, phones and towels in.  We also offer phone specific dry bags.

You should leave all valuables in your vehicle or at home.  Jewelry is highly discouraged because it can slip or come off if you enter the water and will be lost. 

Coolers are okay if you want to take a lunch and have a picnic on one of the many beaches however, we ask that the cooler not be styrofoam and be medium size to fit in most boats. 

Car keys should not be taken on the river!  We have a cubby to hold them in for you until you return
​
What is provided with my rental?
 When you rent a kayak, we provide the boat, paddles, life jackets, shuttle service, and outstanding customer service.

What should I wear/bring?
Always bring an extra change of clothes for after the trip. Paddling is done in all kinds of weather so plan accordingly. We always recommend wearing river shoes, sandals or an old pair of sneakers. Flip-flops are not recommended, as many are lost in the river. When taking additional clothing on the trip, we recommend a secure dry bag that can be tied into the craft.
Hats are useful to keep the sun off the face and neck, and sunglasses can be invaluable.  However, if you elect to wear glasses/sunglasses, please be sure to secure them with string or another suitable method.  Bug spray and/or sunscreen are recommended for anyone sensitive to such conditions.

Are dogs allowed?
Pets are allowed on kayak trips, please use a leash on the shuttle.  You are responsible for any damage caused by your pet.

How early should I arrive?
You are welcome to arrive as early as you like, but please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your desired departure time.  Although we can’t guarantee each shuttle is on time, we will make every effort to maintain our schedule. There are numerous variables involved with each trip, so please be patient.  Getting each group comfortable and on the water sometimes takes longer than expected, but when it is your turn, you will receive the same courtesy.  If you are late, you are at the mercy of your shuttle party.  They have the final vote.
