Looking for the Best Kayak Rental in Delaware? Here’s Why Bay Venture Outfitters in Bethany Beach Should Be Your First Stop

Delaware has no shortage of places to paddle—but not all kayak rental experiences are created equal. If you’re looking for peaceful waters, close wildlife encounters, and top-tier gear without the hassle, Bay Venture Outfitters in Bethany Beach is your answer.

We’re located just minutes from the Assawoman Canal, a protected and scenic waterway that offers a better paddling experience than the wide, windy open bays surrounding many other coastal towns.

Why Paddlers Choose Bay Venture Outfitters

🛶 Calm, Flat Water for All Skill Levels
Forget whitecaps and wakes. The Assawoman Canal is narrow, shaded, and perfect for first-timers, families, and nature lovers.

🦅 Wildlife in Every Direction
Paddle past herons, egrets, ospreys, and bald eagles. Watch turtles sunbathe on logs or quietly pass through creeks lined with marsh grasses and native wildflowers.

🧭 Expert Local Guidance
Not sure where to go? We’ll help you choose the best route based on tide, wind, and wildlife activity. Our trail map highlights the best photo spots and hidden gems.

🛟 All-Inclusive Rentals
Every rental includes your kayak or SUP, paddle, life jacket, dry bag, and a water trail map. No hidden fees. No gear hauling. Just easy, enjoyable paddling.

🚗 Easy Access & Free Parking
