Not just a kayak rental.
A deeper connection to the Lowcountry.

Your rentals fund sea turtle protection, kids’ outdoor education, and seabird nesting islands like Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary.

 

Three decades of adventure, discovery, and Lowcountry magic—every single trip. With roots on Shem Creek dating back to 1992, we know how to find dolphins, brown pelicans, osprey—and maybe even a manatee or two. Let us show you what makes this place wild.
