About Kayaks River Rentals reopens on Saturday, May 16th!
Please see our procedural changes below for everyone's safety.
Welcome to About Kayaks River Rentals, the only kayak rental on the St. Sebastian River, one of Florida’s last remaining natural waterways, abundant with wildlife. We're located in Indian River County on Florida's Treasure Coast, just north of Vero Beach.
Kayaking is an eco-friendly way to immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of nature. We specialize in 2-3 hour self-guided tours as well as custom-designed Group Adventures featuring the facilities of Dale Wimbrow Park. Paddling is easy, going downstream with the gentle current with sit-inside and sit-on-top single and tandem kayaks. We supply you with the kayaks, paddles, life vests, and instructions. After only a few minutes on the water, most beginners find paddling easy and fun. Exploring the beautiful St. Sebastian and its wildlife is an adventure, creating memories that last a lifetime.
About Kayaks River Rentals is a member of the American Canoe Association (ACA ) , a nonprofit organization that promotes fun and responsible canoeing, kayaking, and rafting. Founded in 1880, the ACA actively advocates recreational access and stewardship of America's water trails. Although the Sebastian River is typically very gentle, easy to navigate, and uncrowded during these brief excursions, you may wish to review the "Top Ten Safety Tips" including "Practices, Ethics, and Conduct" at American Canoe Association.

COVID-19 Temporary Change #3: Reopening
In response to the many calls we've been receiving, our operations staff has chosen to reopen on May 16th
to get you back out in Nature on the beautiful St. Sebastian River
with the following changes to ensure physical distancing and contactless procedures.
- Kayaking will be scheduled only by reservation at 772-589-3469.
- As our office is currently closed to the public, waivers must be completed online. Please see the Online Waivers tab below.
- When we receive your waiver and confirm your reservation, we will accept your credit card payment and determine the proper life vest size for each participant.
- All equipment will be delivered to Dale Wimbrow Park, our only launch site at this time. We will meet you there and maintain strict proper distancing.
- Our gear is carefully disinfected between users: kayaks, lifejackets, and paddles.
- Kayakers will launch themselves from the Wimbrow Park boat ramp and return to the same location after calling us 15 minutes before your return.
- Each kayaker must be self-sufficient and able to self-launch and return safely, getting the kayak onto the ramp.
- You may wish to bring water in reusable bottles or deposit single-use plastics in the recycling bin at the park.
- The park's rest rooms are available.
Please be patient and know that your safety is our number one concern.
We can't wait to see all your smiling faces!
