BOAT & KAYAK RENTALS

Enjoy the waterways around San Juan Island in one of our boats or kayaks. Explore the quiet solitude of our estuaries, fish off shore, visit lush parks or see migratory wildlife.

All boats are easy to launch at your choice of several locations around the island. We can also provide launching service for an additional fee.

For your convenience, we are continuing to rent boats and kayaks at Mitchell Bay Landing and in the town of Friday Harbor. Call us at 360-378-9296 for more information.

Mitchell Bay Landing supports responsible boating and respectful use of all waterways. Please review our boat rental policies and safety guidelines prior to reserving.
