San Juan Outfitters not only provides the highest quality Sea Kayak Tours, but we also rent recreational kayaks and stand up paddle boards from our Roche Harbor location. Rentals are perfect for families with children too young for our family specific kayak tours, or people who don't have the time for our guided tours. They are also a great way to spend an hour or two before or after one of our whale watch & wildlife tours by vessel.
Rentals available from Roche Harbor from 10am - 5pm (last rental departs at 4pm). Available mid May to early September.

San Juan Outfitters rents sit-on-top style ocean kayaks by the hour from our Roche Harbor location. Roche Harbor provides sheltered access to lots of calm waters for our recreational kayaks. Sit-on-top kayaks are open faced and self-bailing, so it is recommended you wear quick dry clothing as you will get wet. Any age is welcome on sit-on-top kayaks as long as the child is able to fit into a provided PFD. You are provided PFD, paddles, kayak, and map.
Paddle around the calm waters of Roche Harbor on a Stand on Liquid brand stand up paddle board (SUP). Paddle boarding is a great workout and way to practice your balance. Paddle barefoot for the best traction and balance, and in clothing that you do not mind getting wet, such as swim suit or quick dry shorts and shirt. SUPs are recommended for ages 10+. You are provided a PFD, paddle, board with a leash, and map.
San Juan Outfitters will rent traditional sea kayak equipment to outdoor professionals with the appropriate training, and who possess a ACA/BCU 4* certification or greater. The waters surrounding the San Juan Islands can pose real danger to anyone but trained professionals. If you are one of these people, feel free to contact us regarding sea kayak rentals. If you are not an outdoor professional, consider one of our 3-hour or 5-hour kayak tours, or our recreational kayaks described above. Please inquire about our private tour costs.
Looking for a multiday sea kayak tour rentals? Schedule a custom self-supported multiday tour! Also called a "self-guided" tour, this tour is an ideal experience for scout groups, school camps, or experienced outdoors people who have the needed camping equipment to operate a multiday tour, but lack the sport specific sea kayak equipment and professional knowledge of the waterways surrounding the San Juan Islands to safely execute a multiday sea kayak camping tour. That's where we come in! Please inquire for reservations and availability.
