Want to go paddling alone or with friends? Renting a kayak, stand-up paddle board is a great activity and alternative to owning your own boat or board. Rent for an afternoon and explore the waters of Downtown Victoria, Oak Bay or Saturna Island. Rent a boat for a few days and take off on your own adventure – as long as you have the necessary safety knowledge and proper transporting equipment for our gear.

No matter what you are looking for we have you covered. Our fleet is the largest in town and is comprised of the highest quality watercraft. Large or small, we’ll have a boat or stand-up paddle board to fit you and get you out on the water! We are following strict WorkSafe BC and Covid-19 guidelines while getting you safely on the water.
