The Best Kayak Rentals Near Chicago

SUCCESSION: Explore Chicago in Style 32ft Sundancer w/ Captain & Fuel Included!

What a fantastic experience! I rented Alex's boat yesterday and had an absolute blast with my group of 12 friends. From the moment we arrived, Alex was super friendly and welcoming. He showed us around the boat and made sure we felt comfortable and at ease. The boat itself was immaculate - clean, well-maintained, and organized to perfection. Alex had thought of everything to ensure our day on the water was stress-free and enjoyable. His assistant was also super helpful in getting us settled and answering any questions we had. Alex himself was an absolute pleasure to be around. He was knowledgeable about the area and gave us great recommendations for things to do and see. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he really made us feel like we were part of his own little crew. We had an amazing time cruising around the water, taking in the sights, and enjoying each other's company. The boat handled beautifully, and we were able to fit all 12 of us comfortably. Overall, I would highly recommend renting from Alex. His attention to detail, warm hospitality, and love for boating make for a truly unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Kayak Rental on Reeds Lake, East Grand Rapids

We had a great experience renting from Callie! We made our plans last minute and she was very responsive. Kayaks and carts are in great condition. Parking is convenient across the street from her house. It’s an easy walk from there to the boat launch. Public restrooms are available at the EGR public library right next to the boat launch. We will definitely be renting from Callie again!

10ft Green Pelican Kayak in Ames/Ada Hayden SW Ramp

Super host! He was there at the ramp all set up, with great instructions and the loan of a waterproof cell phone pouch, punctual perfection at pickup, and just a nice guy. Made a lovely morning on the lake. I'll use his cute little green kayak again.

Callie is great at communicating. Her house is nice and close to the lake. She was flexible and worked with me when rain got in the way of plans. If I need to rent a kayak again I know where to go. Definitely recommend.
