Paddle rentals for waterfront breweries, restaurants, and shops
Turn your water frontage into a reason to visit, and send paddlers back through your door.
Why it works for waterfront businesses
If your business sits on the water, the shoreline out back is an untapped draw. Breweries, restaurants with docks, bait and tackle shops, and cafes can host a rack and give customers something to do before or after they eat, drink, or shop.
Paddlers park in your lot, launch from your spot, and come back hungry and thirsty. Friends waiting on shore grab a table. Groups turn a quick paddle into an afternoon. Because renters book and pay on their phones, your staff never has to stop what they're doing to run a rental.
You earn a share of every rental, and you get an attraction that sets your business apart from the competition down the road.

How a pilot works
We're choosing our first partners now. Here's what getting started looks like.
Talk it through
Tell us about your property and goals. We'll look at where a rack fits and which arrangement makes sense.
Agree on terms
Zero-cost, custom, or owning the equipment. We'll put it in a simple written agreement.
Install and stock
We set up the rack, signage, and gear. Renters can book from day one.
Review together
After the pilot, we look at how it went with you and decide what's next.
Questions we hear
Do we need a dock?
No. A beach, bank, or low shoreline where people can safely carry a board or kayak into the water works too.
Will renters use our parking?
Most will, which is part of the draw. We'll talk through parking and placement during a site visit.
What does a rack cost a property?
It depends on the arrangement. On a zero-cost deployment, we pay for the rack and gear, and a small portion of rental revenue is shared with you. You can also purchase the equipment to keep a larger share, with a small ongoing platform fee, or set up something in between.
Talk to us about a pilot
Tell us a bit about your property and we'll follow up to talk through fit, placement, and terms. No commitment.
