Reviews

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.

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

This is a review of The Kayak Centre's RENTAL service. Our recent experience was delightful. [We rented Hobie Mirage Eclipse Pedalboards -- that's a stand up paddleboard driven by a pedal mechanism, rather than an oar.  Steering is via a rudder, controlled by grips on the handlebars.  The motion is similar to an elliptical trainer or StairMaster.  We found them to be easy to mount, stable, responsive, maneuverable, and -- compared to a traditional SUP --  fast ! ] The dockside personnel were friendly, patient, and informative, giving us the quick lesson needed to use the Hobies, and pointing out things to see in Wickford Harbor. We spent two pleasant hours on the water.  A nice workout.  Would rent from The Kayak Centre again.

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!

This is the best kayak store in NE! Great selection of boats and accessories. The staff is very knowledgeable about the products they carry. Customer service is the best!

Staff was understanding and friendly. Good water body to kayak

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.

This is great kayak/watersports shop.  The staff were pleasant, patient and a pleasure to work with.   These shops are disappearing in New England, it's great this place is still serving the paddling market.

Great info on the web site. Easy booking, easy signing of waivers. Showed up on time, kayaks were ready to go. Fairly easy paddle to Cornelius Island and back with 2 adults and 13/10yr old kids not included in rental. Will rent again next time we're back!

Everyone at the Kayak Centre was really helpful.  I purchased an Old Town Kayak and had it shipped to my door for about the same price as tax in New York.  They also reminded me that I could get 10% off accessories, even though I wasn’t aware of that deal I ended up calling back to get a kid’s paddle and an extra life jacket.  Great service, great products…don’t hesitate to buy a boat from this wonderful establishment!
