(We will take reservations for full day, overnight, and weekend rentals anytime in advance. Hourly rentals are on a first come first served basis. As we have lots of boats in our fleet, and hourly rentals turn around quickly, if you do have to wait, it shouldn't be for long!:)

Year-round rentals? Yes! We do indeed rent and demo boats year-round! However… when the water gets cold, paddling can become more dangerous. As unlikely as capsize may seem to some people, you must "dress to swim"!

Clothing requirements for rentals and demos due to water temp are as follows:

Water temp above 60 degrees – No Restrictions
Water temp between 50 and 60 degrees – Wet Suit Required
Water temp below 50 degrees – Dry Suits Required

Check the conditions on the bay HERE

We do not provide wet suits or dry suits for rentals or demos. Wet suits can be purchased for around $100 and can go a long way towards lengthening your paddling season. Dry suits are a bit more pricey but are a must for the 4 season paddler. Ask an Annapolis Canoe and Kayak representative for help with outfitting you with the appropriate gear for your needs.

Keep an eye on the “Events/ News” section of our web site for info on local cold water clinics.  The local Chesapeake Paddlers Association can be a terrific resource for this type of information.  Here’s a link to their “Cold Water Brochure”
