WFR OUTFITTERS

Rentals: Kayaks, Canoes, Rowboats, and Stand-Up Paddleboards

We offer an assortment of sit-in and sit-on-top kayaks, including Future Beach sit-on-top kayaks which feature exclusive catamaran hulls which are the best choice for beginners, but still a blast for experienced paddlers. This unique hull outperforms traditional kayaks with exceptional tacking and efficient glide offering less resistance with no sideslip.  Future Beach kayaks also sit higher out of the water and are more stable during entry and exit. In addition we offer family friendly 2 and 3 person kayak and Hobie pedal kayaks.

Each rental comes complete with properly fitted life jackets, safety instructions and weather overview. Kayak, canoe and SUP rentals comes with an outline of fundamental technique, including reviewing diagrams showing proper body positioning, grasp of paddle, paddling stroke, etc. For recreational fishing, exploring, and touring, we offer an assortment of canoes and rowboats, including some equipped with outrigger attachments.  We opt to carry Osagian aluminum canoes to offer stability and versatility making them the right choice for families and newcomers to the sport of paddling.

Stand-Up-Paddleboarding is fast becoming a very popular recreational activity. Freetime provides lightweight, yet stable, paddleboards that offer great glide and solid performance, offering models perfect for beginners and experienced paddleboarders alike.
