Delivered Kayak Rentals
Explore at Paddle Speed
One of the best things about kayaking is its simplicity. No fuel. No engine. No schedule. Just a paddle, a kayak, and the freedom to spend a day on the water.
Backwater Expeditions uses Ocean Kayak Scrambler 11 Series sit-on-top kayaks, a proven design known for stability, comfort, and ease of use. At 11.5 feet long, they track well on the water while remaining approachable for first-time paddlers and families. Their sit-on-top design makes getting on and off easy from beaches, docks, and shorelines, while also providing a comfortable platform for fishing, wildlife viewing, photography, or simply relaxing on the water.
Each rental includes a kayak, paddle, properly sized life jacket, whistle, and waterproof flashlight, along with a brief orientation covering local conditions, safety considerations, and recommended destinations.
We offer both delivered kayak rentals 7 days a week and meet-at-the-launch options on weekends. If you’re staying at a waterfront vacation rental, private dock, campground, or waterfront home, we can often deliver directly to you. For guests not staying on the water, we also offer rentals from select launch locations throughout the region.
Where you launch can completely change the experience. Depending on where you’re staying, we’ll help point you toward beaches, marshes, scenic shorelines, fishing opportunities, family-friendly paddles, or longer adventures that make the most of your time on the water.
No roof racks. No trailer. No hauling 11.5-foot kayaks across Virginia.
Just show up and start paddling.
