Takeaway Rentals
 
For the more adventurous kayaker, Moss Bay's kayaks may be rented for take away to your favorite remote waterway by the day, weekend, or week! Many Seattlites and out-of-town visitors rent from us for their overnight paddling expeditions through the San Juan Islands, the scenic waterways of beautiful British Columbia, or the hundreds of amazing fresh water lakes in the area.
* Included in all kayak take away rentals is a paddle, life jacket,paddle float, pump, and spray skirt.
Great Reasons to Take Away from Moss Bay:
- Great location for pick up and return of kayaks
- Excellent / Durable single and double kayaks for all excursions
- All basic paddling accessories included
- Early pick up and late drop off - FREE
One of the most convenient features about Moss Bay's overnight take away rentals is that the rental period begins the evening the day before and ends the morning after the rental period. This allows for transportation of your kayak so that you spend your rental time actually paddling at your destination site, rather than wasting your rental time driving in the car. For example, if you rent a kayak for Saturday and Sunday (summer season), Moss Bay allows you to pick up the kayak between 530pm and 7pm on Friday, returning the boat between 9am and 11am Monday so you get the most out of your rental (please ask for early pick up and late drop off times for off season hours)!
*All boats must be rented and returned between 9am and 7pm.
For take away rentals, we require full payment upon pick up of the boats and equipment, and signatures of all participants on our liability and release form. In addition, Moss Bay requires a deposit against the equipment in the form of an authorization on a major credit card.
