The kayaking part of it is fine. My complaint is their gift cards. My friends from California bought me one to get a membership. I inquired how to use the gift card. The answer was, you can’t for a membership but everything else. I don’t understand gift cards with limits. It makes SUP suspect. Once I use the gift card (I’m stuck having to use it) I’m taking my business somewhere else.

We have been big fans of Capital SUP, and the sunrise tour has always been one of the highlights of our summer (our child begs us every year to “go look for the sun”). In the past, this event felt like a true community experience. We would join 10-30 people in the dark, paddle out together to the Bay Bridge, and float quietly for 20 to 30 minutes while waiting for the sun to rise.
Unfortunately, that’s not what happened this time.
When we arrived 20 minutes early (as requested), the equipment wasn’t ready, one employee tried to feverish set up everything, there was no check-in, no group welcome, no introductions, and no explanation of expectations. As the sunrise approached, no one was on the water, and when we voiced concern, we were told dismissively that “sunrise isn’t until 6:33.” Without guidance, people just started paddling, but by the time we reached the viewing spot, the sun had already risen well past the bridge. Most participants turned back within the hour.
To make matters worse, the experience lacked the small touches that once made it special - no Rise Up coffee, no sense of community, and even moments of staff rudeness. A few kind participants had brought figs to share, but with no introductions or group spirit, they were simply left behind.
We left feeling very disappointed, having paid more than double for what was essentially just an unguided early morning paddle. The follow-up was equally disheartening: when we responded to the feedback request, Capital SUP took no ownership of the experience. We understand that staff can run late or weather can cause issues, but what shouldn’t happen in any business is blaming the customers.
We saw another group of paddlers out at the bridge that morning that had clearly gotten there earlier and as a group. Perhaps we should consider another tour next summer.

Great service. Easy in and out. Kayak even has an anchor. Back Creek is such an interesting and different place to paddle especially if you are visiting Annapolis area

Good first experience for SUP. It was a very informal place to rent paddle boards or kayaks-- I would recommend the company have better signs to show where they are located (it's in the middle of apartment complexes). The guys working were helpful, would have preferred a more robust introduction and instructions to use paddleboard from the guy who helped us get on.

BEST CAMP! My kids loved every minute of their SUP camp this summer! They learned a new skill, made some new friends, and had good old fashioned summer fun in the water. Highly recommend! Well organized, fun and energetic leaders, and beautiful location in Arnold.

This is a beautiful location located in a state park. All three girls working were great, but Lilly was exceptionally personable and genuine, making the experience perfect!

We had an incredible time with Capital SUP for the Blue Angels practice show event. Their staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. We felt incredibly safe on the water on such a heavily trafficked boating day. Thank you for such an incredible experience!
