OUR STORY
After 6 years of hosting over a thousand guests in our Pacwest Stays short term rentals... and too many requests asking "where can we rent kayaks", we decided to fill the gap and start Paddle Pacwest. We can't do anything basic though - so naturally we had to find the most unique and memorable paddle boards, canoes and kayaks out there.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Xueshi WangSee Through CanoesMy friends and I rented two see-through canoes and one paddle board. The owner was very nice and friendly and being flexible with our pick up and drop off. I have been wanting to try see-through paddle board for long and didn't realize the paddle board was see-through as well until we picked it up, which was a lovely surprise! The lake in the morning was super quiet and peaceful. The wind might pick up around noon so would definitely recommend doing kayak/paddle board in the morning if you want a more easy and relaxing experience.
Stacy CaridiKayaksWe really enjoyed the convenience of these folding origami kayaks! There was a slight learning curve unfolding them and putting the first one together, but once I knew what I was doing, I was able to put the second together, by myself, in just a few minutes (there is a QR code linking to videos of assembly and disassembly.) They worked great for everyone ages 9 to 43 varying in weight from 90 to 245lbs. Having them delivered to our door the same day, along with life vests, paddles, extra cushions and even some solar lights for kayaking in the evenings, was one of the best parts! No worries about transporting heavy kayaks or having to return them! I had no trouble folding them back up even though I was told that wasn’t required. We loved exploring beautiful Lake Sutherland this way! They were a big success and working with Paddle Pacwest was easy and enjoyable! Great group! Both kiddos give them “5 stars!”
Drew ClemmonsCanoe & Paddle BoardA canoe and paddle board experience like no other! Paddle PACWest offered see-through paddle boards and canoes for rent. No other vendor that we could find offered the same. Not to mention the SERVICE provided by Paddle PacWest Was delightful and personal. Our three children ages 10 to 17 enjoyed them all day. The see through Canoe and Paddle board offered by Paddle PacWest allowed them to see all the way to the bottom of the crystal clear-waters(Lake Crescent and Lake Sutherland). Thank you so much Paddle PacWest!! We would recommend you to anyone.
Greg MarcotteSee Through CanoeOur family just rented two clear kayaks last week and had the best experience. They dropped off the kayaks for us and picked them up from Crescent Lake. The service and communication was excellent and I would highly recommend using them for kayak rentals.
Dalanie LewinPaddle Board & KayakWe rented a paddle board and a kayak today through these guys and our experience was amazing! They recommended my husband and I a great point on Lake Cresent and delivered the equipment to us. Hannah helped us walk everything down and was super great to talk to. They picked everything up when we were done. We will be using this company again when traveling to Port Angeles!
Kira StephensSee Through CanoeWe loved our clear canoe 🛶 from pacwest! The whole pickup/drop off experience was super convenient and easy. Also love that it’s right next door to Granny’s cafe. Totally will be back to rent their SUP’s. Thanks Hannah!
Reid CraigmilePaddle Board & CanoeGreat experience with Paddle Pacwest! Customer service was amazing, including being flexible with delivery time and making sure we had the best setup for the 6 of us to have the most fun. The paddle boards were easy to use for all of us (including kids 8-16) and the tandem canoe/kayak allowed us to explore more of Lake Sutherland. Even the restaurant/ice cream recommendations were awesome! Would definitely recommend.
WHAT'S GOING ON
Choosing the Right Paddle Rental for Your Water Adventure
We currently rent 3 types of watercraft.
1. Paddle Pacwest Clear Kayak
2. Paddle Pacwest Clear SUP (paddle board)
3. Oru Foldable Kayak
NOTE : All rentals come with paddles and life vests.
Which is right for you?
This mostly depends on your ability to transport the units. If you've got a truck with a big bed or a car with a roof rack, you can rent whatever you'd like.
If you need something to fit in a smaller car we definitely recommend the Oru Foldable Kayak as it folds easily into a backpack and is only 25 pounds.
Party for 2?
Our Paddle Pacwest Clear Kayaks have two seats and can hold up to 300 pounds. Otherwise you can most definitely rent 2 Oru Kayaks.
