Canoe, Kayak & Boat Hire |
 |
|
OVERVIEW |
We have canoes, kayaks and runabouts available for hire everyday, from Boreen Point. We also have canoes available from Kinaba Information Centre at the entrance to the Everglades.
OUR CANOES
We use Canadian style canoes, which are ideally suited to the lakes and rivers in this area, with both 2-seater and 3-seater fibreglass and poly models. The 2-seater fibreglass model is pictured above.
These are lightweight and strong, and suitable for transporting on roof-racks for those wanting to launch away from our hire points.
|
OUR KAYAKS |
We use only top-of-the-range touring Ocean Kayak brand kayaks, primarily the "Cabo" model, with a seating capacity for two paddlers and a jump-seat passenger. For enhanced ease of use, these have rudders controlled by adjustable foot peddles and are lightweight, but very strong. Perfect for exploring the local lakes and rivers.
|
OUR RUNABOUTS / TINNIES |
Our runabouts are Stessco "Catcher" 4.1m boats, licensed to hold up to 4 adults, with 8hp Yamaha outboard motors and a canopy (bimini) sunshade . While no special license is required to drive these, the minimum age of hirers is 18 years.
