We are currently open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and plan to stay open on this schedule through October 11th. You can make reservations 24/7 online by clicking the “Book Your Trip” link above.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s used gear sale. We have now sold all the equipment we plan to this year.

On Saturday, Sept. 26th we are closed for regular bookings, as we will be supporting the Rivanna Conservation Alliance’s Round Up river clean up effort. Anyone can get involved in this great effort, and if you need to rent a boat we will be providing them to clean-up participants at a discount. Find out more by clicking here. 

Check out our latest paddling trip…a relaxing, after-work, river getaway to one of Charlottesville’s coolest places on Thursdays in September. Click here for more in info and reservations. 

We are currently offering Boat and Equipment rentals as well as Boat Rentals with Transportation of Boats for select river trips as water levels allow. WE ARE STILL NOT SHUTTLING CUSTOMERS, so customers will need to set their own shuttle for themselves with 2 cars. Please see the Online Reservations page for all the details and schedule of these offerings.

We will continue to offer Kayak, Canoe, SUP, and Tube rentals Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with pick-up times between 9 AM and 3 PM. Please note the following:

• PLEASE CLICK HERE to make a REQUIRED online reservation.
• To preserve social distancing, we have tightly limited reservations in each time slot. If you don’t find available equipment in one time slot, try selecting another time, as the equipment is likely available.
• After reserving equipment online, please sign the online waiver from the link in your confirmation email.
• Please plan to load and unload the equipment yourself as our staff will be practicing social distancing which may limit our usual helpfulness.
• Daily rentals can be returned same-day by 5:30 pm or the following morning between 8 and 9 am.
• We are not able to provide shuttle service for customers at this time.
• CLICK HERE for our tips on local places to go paddling. If you aren’t sure if your car can transport equipment, try renting one of our Stand Up Paddleboards, which can be transported in virtually any vehicle.

We are excited to serve our community with opportunities for outdoor recreation in a responsible way during this challenging time.  Our local waters are still here, offering us all an opportunity to connect with Mother Nature’s beauty and calming effects.
