Coastal Kayak

Very good people and excellent experience. We had to cancel a guided tour because we were stuck in traffic. Even though it was only 1 hr notice they still gave us credit.
We went back next day and took 2 double kayaks out. The owners told us where to go and we saw eagle with babies. Plus lots of jellyfish, muscles and clams. With the owners help we saw a giant horseshoe crab with a clam clamped on one of its fangs.
Highly recommended facilities.

Great place to rent a kayak or paddle board for a fun time. An hour flies by so expect to be out for at least two. Staff is friendly and will give you instruction. Can’t beat being on the water.

The perfect place to paddle board or kayak in DE! I have only been twice, but both times I had a great time. Paddle boarded is my new favorite water sport, just be sure to go when its not too windy (its tough to go against the current) regardless, I would go back at any point and time! Reasonable prices and a fantastic location!

Well run. Friendly staff. Good equipment. Fair prices. Perfect pace for a 1^st timer. An hour on paddle board is the right length of time.

Great Hobicat sailboat rental. Just call before you go to check wind conditions. If the wind is too high, they cancel for safety reasons.

Friendly people and fun for the whole family. Took my teenage daughter stand-​up paddle boarding for an hour. Reasonable rates and good instructors. They even watched our stuff for us while we were out of the water. A good time was had by all.

It was a little bit of a dreary day at the beach. Couldn’t decide whether it wanted to rain or not. So we thought, «You know what would be fun? Taking mom kayaking since she’s never been!»
The staff at Coastal Kayak was so friendly! They made everything very easy. I don’t remember how long we chose to rent — just a couple hours I think — but it was a nice relaxing paddle up the bay and back. We saw some cool birds and took some nice selfies. The whether even cheered up for a us a bit!
If you’re looking for something to do that’s a bit active and a whole lot of fun, definitely recommend this for the whole family.

Perfect location for kayaking or stand-​up paddling. We’ve done both here. Beautiful setting, friendly service, ample parking, reasonable prices, quality equipment. You really can’t go wrong here.

Great place to relax with kids. The water is shallow in the entire bay. The staff is very friendly, prices are reasonable.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommend an Eco tour by Jim. Saw Egrets, eagles, turtle, crabs and more…

Coastal Kayak was awesome! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Being an elementary teacher during the school year helped too. My daughter was afraid at first but the guide did well to distract her by keeping a look out for wild life. By the end of the trip she was naming birds and eye spying all kinds of organisms. This is a great place to spend some time in Fenwick!!! I’ll be back for sure.

We rented two kayaks (a double and single). The front desk staff was friendly and informative. We were quickly set up and on our way. The equipment is in great shape and was a fun adventure for us our and our 8 year old.

This place had a good price point for their rentals.
I do wish they could get you out on the water a bit quicker; not sure if I went there on a busy day or not.

Probably a 4.5.
The day we went out was windy, and I wish Coastal Kayak had been a little clearer in their instruction for the newer paddlers in managing steering and compensating for that. We were chased down by a staff member to redirect both our direction and some of the girls’ paddling. It also took us about half as long to go the distance they estimated with that wind, so not the full hour’s paddling time we were paying for.
That being said, the equipment was in great shape and all the staff were friendly. They came and picked us up at the landing site and shuttled us back to settle up (so that we’d know exactly how long we rented for). The water bottles weren’t absurdly overpriced and it was nice that they provided them for sale. They provided a laminated, marked map for us to take with us and gave a quick and clear set of landmarks for our course.
I would go back and paddle, and explore some of the neater inlets they spoke about, but I’ll do it on a day that’s not going to compromise the quality of the experience since the CK people are clearly looking to make sure you enjoy paddling and exploring the bay.

Coastal Kayak is conveniently located bayside between Fenwick and Bethany. Very friendly service and easy access in to a kayak and paddling in the Bay. We rented two tandems and the kids sat in front. Great diversion from hanging on the beach.

My fathers, sisters, and I have all rented both kayaks and a few catamarans here over the past few years. Extremely nice staff, good instruction when necessary, great location. Fun sail every time.

My family has rented kayaks here twice while vacationing in the area. The first time we paddled the south half of the bay and did the north the second time including seeing the ospreys and their nests up close. This is a wonderful place for kayaking especially for us beginners. The folks at Coastal Kayaks are very friendly and helpful with nice equipment. I know we will go there again.

I have rented kayaks in a few places but this is one of the best. The people are very friendly and accommodating. There was no long lectures or attitude about how much time you could take out a kayak. They were just nice, helpful people with reasonable prices and nice boats. Cool t-​shirts in the hut too. You can get discount coupons from the Island publications at hotels and stores also.
