Paddle NC is North Carolina's premier kayak and paddleboard rental experience, suitable for first-timers and experts. The staff is known as the nicest and most friendly people, offering helpful guidance, quick responses, and reasonable rates. They provide a simple reservation process and conveniently carry kayaks right to the water. Customers enjoy beautiful paddles around locations like Permuda Island Reserve, the Cape Fear River, and toward Bear Island, often seeing oyster farms. The journeys are not crowded and offer sightings of shore birds, dolphins, a possible juvenile bald eagle, and other wildlife. Families have a great time, with children learning to paddle and enjoying the ecosystem. The overall experience is highly recommended, creating a blast for all.
We rented kayaks from pPddle NC for our trip out to Bear Island from Hammocks Beach SP on July 3. Great boats, great service, and a great experience! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time! My family chose to kayak and paddle board on our own but the young man took extra time and effort getting us set up and ensuring that we felt comfortable. Thank you again!
