Canoe rental and charter companies offer kayaking, rafting, scenic river rides, crafting, sailing, boat lease, forest hikes, yachting, lake paddle, air activities such as kiting and parasailing, and products such as new and used kayaks made of composite, aluminum, wood, fiberglass and carbon. Decide whether you want to hire a professional to accompany you or whether you want to rent the equipment on your own. Contact a few different companies offering what you want, whether you want instruction and assistance, or just to rent. Call to get information such as hours, location, availability, price, group discounts, website information, environment, equipment and experience. Ask what types of crafts the company offers and how old or new the equipment is. Inquire whether the company caters to families and small children. Meet with each canoe charter and rental service beforehand to check out the fleet of canoes and related equipment, such as paddles, and make sure they are up to quality standards. Research the canoe rental and charter company you choose thoroughly, making sure staff members have the appropriate experience and licensing, and that the products are high in quality. Find out if the company has a good reputation in the rental and charter industry with an impeccable safety record. Inquire whether the canoe rental and charter service is part of a local, national or international company. When meeting with the company, take note of the cleanliness of the office and friendliness of staff. Ask what other activities are available, such as bird life or hiking. Before choosing a canoe rental and charter service to assist with your boat lease or hire requirements, recreation area trip or fiber glass canoe, keep in mind location, hours, availability, equipment selection, price and years of experience.
