My wife and I had our first kayak rental from Union Paddle & Row. We were given a quick lesson and advice and fitted with all the appropriate gear. Couple things I think that give this business 5 stars from me as you can probably rent kayaks just about anywhere. Here though, the service was awesome. We were handle promptly, the gentlemen helping us was very friendly and took the time to talk to us, educate us, and give us some ideas of where to go. I honestly don’t think he could have done better! The other piece of the puzzle is the location! it’s in a location that is protected a bit more from the wind and is on the other side of the inlet from Hoodsport were all the major crabbing and fishing is done and therefore the water is very calm. There’s a lot to look at, the estuary is nearby, the coastline, you could even easily row across to the other side. All in all just a very cool place to rent from and a great place to go kayaking. Many thanks to Union Paddle and Row for unknowingly making me and my wife’s anniversary something very special!
