The Kayak Centre

What a fantastic atmosphere, both the owner and young man at the register was so helpful. Good people, good service & like always good products. Got to finally get my hands on a Oldtown autopilot 120 and picked it up. Would highly recommend this beautiful store in a beautiful location by the water. Again I appreciate the help and service the store has provided me. 5 stars 🌟 all thr way for me.

Overall we had a really good time renting a tandem kayak. The booking wasn’t very straight forward so we did have some messing around. Picked up on of their leaflets but it doesn’t say you need to book online. We arrived at the shop, r there is a sign on the shop saying go to a different place for rentals. We went there and it was empty, they got had just left. My husband went back to the shop, the guy then came back but said we both needed to go to the shop or book online and sign the waiver. There is also no parking where you enter the water so we also had to move the cars So after many walks up and down the street we managed to get on the water. Which was then lovely. Very flat so easy to paddle, small marsh area one way and then in to the harbour the other way going out to some islands you can stop at. We had a private beach and watched the boats go by.

I'm pretty excited to try the paddle board rental service. Unfortunately, it's a little cold in November. Location is impressive with amazing sunset views. The store is packed with outdoor gear and clothing. If you're looking to get off the beaten path, this is a good place to start.

Last summer, we stopped at the Kayak Center while visiting family in RI and were so impressed, we decided to drive back (from PA) last week to shop again. The experience was phenomenal! I had communicated with the staff prior to our visit to narrow down boards to demo. I tried 2 which were both great and selected one. We bought accessories and the staff helped us load it on our car. They were friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I highly recommend The Kayak Center and looking forward to returning soon!

Best Kayak store I've been to! Prices are good, staff are experts. Just a wonderful experience shopping there. I purchased a P&H Virgo and a Thule Hulavator. Installation and instruction on to use the equipment was great. Cheers!

This is the second time I have gone to the Kayak Centre to buy a kayak. The first time was 20 years ago and I got a wonderful kayak then, which I loved! But I was looking to downsize now and so of course went back to the Kayak Centre and had as usual a fantastic experience/fantastic customer service experience. John helped me through the whole process, as did some other employees at the store and then also down at the waterfront for my demo. That is one of the many things I love about the Kayak Centre is that you can take it in the water, whichever kayaks you want to try, and see which 1 works best for you. Again, I cannot say enough about how wonderful John was during this whole process! And I additionally purchased a Thule Hullivator Pro rack which Daryl installed for me on my Rav4. She also was just fantastic, and was very patient in teaching me how to use it with my kayak once it was installed. She worked so hard getting that on for me and it was truly appreciated! I cannot rave enough about how wonderful the Kayak Centre is, and how wonderful the staff is! Great selection of kayaks to choose from, and the customer service is exceptional! I could go on and on more about the great staff, but hopefully you get the idea!🙂

We're from New Hampshire and came down for their demo day on the water. The sales people and manufacturers reps were super helpful and friendly. Since we came from a distance and called ahead, they went out of their way to make sure they had the boats we thought we wanted in the store in the right color so we could get everything in one trip. (We ended up buying different ones after trying them out.) As we were buying two kayaks and a trailer, they were good enough to assemble the trailer for us at no cost.

Had a really nice kayak rental experience here today! Friendly staff and nice kayaking route, we had a wonderful time!
