Rentals
The paddling opportunities around Petersburg
are endless! LeConte Glacier Bay with its tidewater glacier,
the Stikine River, Thomas Bay, Frederick Sound, Kuiu Island
and Duncan Canal are all areas that offer outstanding paddling
opportunities for people seeking an Alaskan adventure.
The camping is excellent and there are more
than 20 U.S. Forest Service Cabins available for rent that
make perfect base camps for kayakers.
Our double kayaks are fiberglass Eddyline Whisper
XL's (21 feet long with a 32" beam) with three bulkheaded
hatches for safety and plenty of storage space.
The fiberglass singles are Wind Dancers (17
feet long with 23.5" beam) with bulkheaded hatches. The
plastic singles are Prijon Kodiaks (17 feet long with a 24"
beam) and a Prijon Baracuda (16.9 feet long with a 21"
beam), both with bulkhead hatches.
Kayak rentals include Mid Swift 230 cm breakdown
paddle, a spare paddle, nylon spray skirt, Extrasport PFD,
hand pump and sponge.
We do have additional kayaking equipment and
some camping equipment for rent if you need it.
Your safety is a major concern for us! Alaska
is a wonderful place to paddle but it is not always very forgiving.
The water is extremely cold, the tides can be up to 20 feet
and help is not available around every corner. So in order
to ensure you a safe and enjoyable trip, we require our renters
to have previous experience. Also, prior to your departure
we will go over the equipment, and talk about general safety,
route planning and local hazards.
A complete itinerary for your trip must be filed
with our office before the kayaks will be released.
Our rental rates are as follows:
Doubles $65 per day
Singles $55 per day
There is a 3 day minimum. Rentals for 7 days
or more receive a 20% discount on the total rental charge.
