Exploring Seattle’s lakes by kayak is one of the best ways to spend a sunny day — and you don’t need a roof rack, a garage, or any experience to do it. Our inflatable kayaks are stable, comfortable, and beginner-friendly, yet they track well enough to cover real distance once you find your rhythm.

Every rental is ready to paddle: we include the paddles, USCG-approved life vests, an electric pump, a dry bag, a waterproof phone case, and a Bluetooth speaker. You pick up in Tukwila (one block from the Seattle line), inflate in about eight minutes with the pump, and you’re on the water. See full rental pricing, or keep reading to choose the right kayak.

Kayak Rental FAQ

Do I need kayaking experience?
No. Our inflatable kayaks are stable and beginner-friendly, and calm lakes like Green Lake and Lake Union are perfect for first-timers. We’ll get you set up before you launch.
Single or double kayak — which should I choose?
Pick a single if you want to paddle solo and stay nimble. Choose a double for two people, or one paddler who wants extra room for a cooler, gear, or a dog. Still unsure? Ask us and we’ll help.
Can my dog come along?
Yes — well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the double kayak gives them plenty of room.
What’s included with a kayak rental?
Paddles, comfortable seats, USCG-approved life vests, an electric pump, a dry bag, a waterproof phone case, and a Bluetooth speaker. Everything you need is in the bag.
Where do I pick up the kayak?
Pickup is in Tukwila at 13948 56th Pl S, Unit A — one block from Seattle and an easy drive to every lake on this page. The kayak packs down to fit in any car. See the full FAQ for details.
Do you offer same-day kayak rentals?
Often, yes — but same-day is booked by phone only: call or text (425) 922-5455 and we’ll fit you in if we can. Online booking is for future dates.
