Rentals & Demos
Please come in 15 minutes before rental begins to fill out form and receive gear.
Come and paddle from our floating dock on Spa Creek in Eastport!
We have single and tandem kayaks in both the sit-on-top and sit inside varieties.
We also have SUPs!
Stand up and stand out while you explore Annapolis from a different perspective.
Since we rent what we sell we can offer more efficient kayaks with more comfortable seats as well as lighter composite paddles with asymmetrical blades that make it easier on the joints.

Don’t just take someone else’s word on how a canoe, kayak, or SUP paddles. Demo boats and boards from our floating dock any day of the week! (Any day that we are open, of course. :) )
At Annapolis Canoe and Kayak, every day is a demo day!
Demo Rates:

RENTAL FORM
Year-round rentals?
Yes! We do indeed rent and demo boats year-round! However… when the water gets cold, paddling can become more dangerous. As unlikely as capsize may seem to some people, you must “dress to swim!”
Clothing requirements for rentals and demos due to water temp are as follows:
- Water temp above 60 degrees F – No Restrictions
- Water temp between 50 and 60 degrees F – Wet Suit Required
- Water temp below 50 degrees F – Dry Suit Required

Wet Suits / Dry Suits
We do not provide wet suits or dry suits for rentals or demos. Wet suits can be purchased for around $100 and can go a long way towards lengthening your paddling season. Dry suits are a bit more pricey but are a must for the 4 season paddler. Ask an Annapolis Canoe and Kayak representative to help outfit you with the appropriate gear for your needs.
Cold Water Clinics
Keep an eye on the “News” section of our website for info on local cold water clinics. The local Chesapeake Paddlers Association can be a terrific resource for this type of information. Here’s a link to their Cold Water Brochure.
