The "Rule of Thumb" for transporting canoes and kayaks.
No rack at all - One canoe or kayak is easy to load with foam blocks and straps. If you have a good factory rack with crossbars -1-2 kayaks are OK, only one canoe. Thule or Yakima rack with the proper accessories 1-4 kayaks, but usually still only one canoe.

Don't know where to go? We will direct you to a safe paddling destination in our area based upon your experience level and the conditions expected during the rental period.

Note: For your safety, we strongly recommend that before you rent a kayak and go out on the Hudson River that you understand it's tidal nature, have some kayak touring experience and or take a lesson first.
