Lindsey MalkoMy family had a blast using kayaks from this rental company. Nancy was so pleasant and SO helpful with giving us kayaking routes and helping us find the best place to look for sea glass. Their place is super clean and very planned out, and they make sure you have everything you need for your trip on the water. We will definitely be back! Thanks for making our vacation to Maryland one to remember!

Dele OshunkentanThe boat, location, and service were all 5 stars! To start, I would like to clarify that this was my wife's and my first time riding a boat so we were both definitely at the beginner's level. The office was easy to find. As soon as we got there, they checked us in very efficiently and gave us materials to read. The materials may seem overwhelming at first but they did a great job in incorporating images that were really helpful in grasping the concepts. Captain Ron did an incredible job in explaining how to read charts. He was extremely thorough and very patient with all our questions. Again, looking at the chart may seem overwhelming at first, but Captain Ron's thorough explanation made us feel like we were expert boaters by the end of our ride! We took out boat #5 which was the perfect size for me, my wife, and our 48-pound goldendoodle. The sights were amazing!!! Our favorite part was the lone lighthouse located southwest off the tip of the bay. Being out there was so incredible! We even went back there again after boating around the bay since we still had some time to spare. When we went there the first time around 1 PM, there were about 4 boats out there but it was still so tranquil. The second time, however, was really amazing because our boat was the only one there so we were able to do some drone shots. We didn't have time to get some food during our boat ride (there is a restaurant along one of the coves where you can dock your boat and get some food), but it looked good. All in all, it was truly a wonderful experience!!!

Erin WadsworthWe rented two double kayaks for our wedding weekend on Tilghman Island, and from start to finish Ron and Nancy made the process so easy and seamless. We loved being able to get out on the water and relax—it was such a special addition to our weekend. Ron and Nancy were incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative, and we would absolutely rent from them again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
