Are We Renting?
Open year-round for rentals weather permitting
Lake Union Conditions
*Subject to Change
December: Keep an eye out for the breaks between weather systems for a chance to paddle!
We'll rent when the wind is calm. It's a good idea to call us before you head down to rent this time of year.
If sustained winds are 10mph or greater, we may stop renting depending on what we are seeing on the lake. Paddleboard rentals are stopped first, followed by single kayaks, and finally double and triple kayaks.
We reserve the right to stop renting if conditions on the lake are not suitable for beginners at our discretion.
If the weather looks iffy it's best to call ahead to see if we are renting.
-
Last call is 90 minutes before sunset or close, whichever is EARLIER
-
We shut down rentals if it's windy (sustained winds of 12mph or more, gusts of 20mph or more). For SUPs we may stop renting if the forecast calls for sustained winds over 10mph. It's not foolproof, but if there is a small craft advisory issued for the Seattle area it is likely we won't be renting.
-
We will close for rentals if there is lightning (minimum 30 minute wait period).
-
We close for rentals for cold temps (below 40° for most of the day).
