Paddle Time Kayaks, LLC is a family run seasonal and part-time mobile kayak company based in Shark River, NJ.

The focus of our operations is American Canoe Association workshops. We offer limited weekend hours for those seeking hourly rentals and guided adventures. You can visit our reservation page to see real-time availability and book our services online.

We only operate on Saturdays and Sundays from mid-May through mid-September. We'll try to accommodate weekday rental or guided paddle requests made at least two weeks in advance for groups of four or more; unfortunately, we cannot promise weekday availability.

All services are dependent on good Weather & Winds.

Our goal is to remain a trusted resource for learning to kayak on Shark River. Our concierge-like rental and guided paddle services are well worth it. We get you set up at the riverside, answer all your questions, prepare you for your adventure with premium equipment and local waterway knowledge, double-check the winds and weather, and off you go!

MORE INFORMATION

Participants should know how to swim or at the very least must be comfortable floating in the water. When someone is not comfortable floating in the water, kayaking is not advisable.

Kayaks can flip over and you’ll become what we call a “swimmer”. If this worries you, kayaking may not be for you.
