The staff here consistently gets glowing praise, with Rachel (or Racheal) mentioned by name multiple times for being friendly, helpful, and great at explaining safety tips and equipment usage. Brandon also earns recognition for being professional and personable. Customers love how stress-free the rental process is, from easy booking to straightforward pickup. The equipment is well-maintained, and the location at Sandy Hook offers a beautiful, chill setting for paddling. The overall vibe is enthusiastic and positive. People genuinely seem to have a blast on the water, and several reviewers mention they can't wait to return. The staff clearly makes an effort to ensure everyone feels comfortable and prepared before heading out, which creates a welcoming atmosphere for both beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Just remember it's a state park with federal regulations, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.
Had a great time with our kayak rental recently. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable, prices were reasonable, equipment was in good shape, and it is a great place to get out on the water. Will be back
