Whether you're seeking a peaceful paddle, a family adventure, or a deep dive into local history, we have something for everyone.

A kayak lesson or standup paddleboard (SUP) lesson is a great first step toward a lifetime of paddling. Through hands-on personalized instruction, our instructors emphasize proper technique, safety, and efficiency, so you can get the most out of your time on the water.
For paddlers who have already mastered the basics, a lesson is a great way to leap-frog your skills, so you can paddle further up the coast, or to that island you’ve dreamed of reaching.

Rent a standup paddleboard or kayak and explore the diverse paddling opportunities in Salem, Beverly, and Woburn! Whether you seek clear coastal waters, protected harbors, or tranquil ponds, we’ve got you covered!

Salem Willows Park
190 Fort Avenue
Salem, MA 01970 -
With ample parking at the Willows, it’s easy to find us! Once parked, keep the arcade and restaurants on your right and walk toward the gate at the end of the parking lot. Once past, look to your left to find our kiosk (grey shed with lots of kayaks and paddle boards). On your way out, don’t forget to grab a bag of popcorn from Hobbs!
Within easy paddling distance of open coastline or character-rich maritime harbors. This park is steeped in history, but it’s the small town beach flair with a local flavor that we really love. Hospital Point Light is just a short paddle away, as is calm and peaceful Collins Cove.

The Coast to Coast Difference
EASY TO GET TO:
With three on the water kiosk locations, we’re within an easy drive of the greater Boston Area as well as towns along the Northshore! Our Beverly and Salem locations offer beautiful coastal paddling with several different route options for adventure. Woburn (Horn Pond) offers an easy beginner and family friendly environment, with free parking close by and scenic shoreline just minutes from Rt. 95.
SHOW UP & PADDLE:
Managing your own equipment, like inflating your board, car-topping your kayak, or juggling paddles and PFD’s, from the car to the launch site, can leave you feeling too exhausted to paddle. When you rent from us, we do the work for you! With our easy to book rentals, we do the heavy lifting, including helping you launch, so all you have to do is show up and paddle!
YOUR LEVEL, YOUR ADVENTURE:
Whether you're stepping onto a board or sitting in a kayak for the first time, or you're an experienced paddler looking for new challenges, we cater our lessons and tours to fit your individual skill level. Our expert guides are passionate about helping you achieve your paddling goals, ensuring an enriching and adventurous experience tailored just for you.
“This place is the best! I've had private lessons in addition to renting paddleboards and kayaks. They supply everything - paddles, pfds. Great staff who go the extra mile. Detailed website. You can sign up online. Three locations. I've been to Salem which is terrific (ocean, waves) for SUP and kayaking and Woburn (peaceful pond) for kayaking. Aaron is the best. Terrific customer service! Definitely check them out. Wear water shoes :-)”
