You can’t shop with us in person but you’re nervous to have a kayak shipped directly to you?
Who wouldn’t be?! Kayaks and sailboats are big, bulky, lightweight for their proportions, and their material is pretty soft. They arrive damaged even to us at the shop. When you combine them on a truck with assorted goods and multiple stops and exchanges, the likelihood for damage increases and the ability to hold the guilty party accountable decreases. That means, a beat up boat at your door, a dealer who says “it was fine when it left us” and drivers who all point to someone else and say “He did it!” Sounds like a big headache.
We completely agree. In fact, that very likely scenario kept us OUT of the direct shipment game until now. Our way is different. We have networked with enough private carriers to arrange for door to door service for your kayak. Accountability is tight. Upon selecting your kayak, you have options! Text us. By us, I mean Heather and Andrew. We own the shop, run the shop; we are your friendly neighborhood small craft experts. Even if you aren’t in the neighborhood, trust me, we’ll still be friendly. Call us! Oh, not a big talk on the phone person? That’s ok! See the little message icon at the bottom of the page? Click it! And chat with one of us about what you want and where you want it to be delivered! Do you have lots of questions and need the time and space to get it all out? Well then send an email!
The option to “add to cart” and complete your purchase completely on this site does exist. Yes, it is as easy as it seems, no scams here! But, as soon as your purchase is complete, one of us will call and confirm your purchase and take down additional shipping details
Maybe you’re not sure? All good. If you don’t know us, well, you can read my blog and find out a little bit more about my mindset, but we’ve never thought of a single conversation with a customer as a waste of our time. We are happy to help you find the right kayak or sailboat. We carry over 100 different models from tiny sit inside kayaks to big ol “is this thing really still a kayak?” fishing kayaks. We have little “help your grandson learn to sail” boats to 4-5 person family day sailors. And we know them all! The breadth of our knowledge is only exceeded by our earnest desire to offer you best in class customer service.
So, browse our models below then get in touch! We look forward to working with you!
