Free delivery is available to rental locations in Ocracoke Village. Your kayak rental will be delivered around your requested time, though delays may occur because the delivery truck is also used for surf instruction.
Wind and other environmental conditions can make paddling more or less strenuous. Equipment access may be denied for weather or safety conditions.
Reserve each 24-hour rental day separately, with each new rental starting one day after the previous one.

We rented two kayaks. Everything was great. The staff were helpful and friendly. They provided a map and instructions on what to watch out for. Wonderfully easy and straightforward!
