Tidal Transit Kayak Co Sales Service & Rentals

Fantastic time at Tidal Transit today. Staff was amazing and helpful. Very patient and willing to answer any questions. Outstanding team!!!

Tidal transit Co is the best! They have the best and kindest workers that are so patient in giving instructions for SUP. We rented twice during our week stay in Boothbay Harbor. We will be back again next year and will definitely come back. Travis and crew are exceptional!!! We had an awesome time.

I rarely review non-​restaurant businesses, but this place deserves 5 stars.
The staff is very pleasant and friendly. Most of my group was new to kayaking, so they went over some safety tips and instructions on how to kayak. We all were helped into our kayaks into the water. One person in the group fell into the water and the guide was there to help him up right away. This was months ago when I went so I can’t recall the guide’s name, but he was super nice and gave us a full tour of the harbor.
Spent the entire afternoon just kayaking around the harbor and everyone in the group had a great time. Highly recommend this place, especially if you’re at the beginner level. These guys will take care of you with a smile and a warm welcome.

Great place to rent kayaks. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, they were very patient and helpful. It was the first time my family and I kayaked and they were so helpful in getting us set up and ready to go. We felt very comfortable by the time we got in the boats. They even took pics for us! A definite most off god Boothbay area.

This is an excellent place for renting kayaks in Boothbay Harbor (note they have another location, too). Great, stable kayaks — we love the tandems — and they get you ready and in the water quickly. We’ve utilized them multiple times each summer for the past several years, and every time it’s been a blast! They will watch your stuff, hook you up with dry bags, and be totally fair in all aspects as far as I’ve seen. These are good guys, and it’s a pleasure to rent from them. Great activity in Boothbay!

There is nothing better than giving your money to a business like this one (except of course the wonderful Kayak adventure that ensued). My boyfriend and I called up Tidal Transit with an idea that we wanted to go kayak-​camping in Boothbay Harbor. And we wanted it to be almost free. The extremely friendly and helpful person who answered the phone told us everything we needed to know, didn’t try to upsell us to (what I’m sure are amazing) one of their guided, overnight trips, and didn’t even request we make a reservation. When we showed up the morning of our planned excursion (which was several months later) they were just as helpful (I mean seriously we loved them, we wanted them to come hang out on our island). They gave us all the tips, dry bags, gloves, deck compass, and maps, all included with our 24 hour tandem kayak rental which cost just $ 75. They sent us on our way to the most beautiful public island with an established campsite that just blew our minds from start to finish.

Rented two kayaks for the morning. The staff was extremely friendly. They gave us a grab loop for the amount of time we were looking to spend. Their instructions were also very clear, which was great because we didn’t know what we were doing. I’d highly recommend this place to any one looking for an active view of the harbor.

This place goes above and beyond in every way. This threesome, Travis, Adam and Wyatt will make sure all your needs are met. I happened to have a camera and the battery was dead. Travis quickly advised that Adam will be here soon and he felt positive they could rectify my dilemma, as we have a wedding to attend to in Castene. Sure enough, Adam arrived and he quickly went to get me a battery cord to charge it while we were out renting bikes. It was a pleasure to come to this store. They all embody the best in patron service. They made my day. Congrats on this place!

I’ve taken lessons, gone on group tours, and rented boats from these folks for years. They’re the best.

great service. im a inexperienced kayaker, and we went out to burnt island alone and explored. definitely the highlight of our entire trip! would LOVE to come back next summer!

Really nice people. Great experience. Did the wildlife tour on the river. We saw seals, osprey and sturgeon. Great half-​day on the water.

They take the time to give you a good explanation of places to go to and places to avoid. We had no previous kayak experience but they taught us what we needed to know and we had a great time paddling around. Fun way to get to see the harbor from the water.

Very nice guys, valuable lessons for kayak-​nubs, decent rates. Maps, charts, dry-​bag for valuable papers, life-​vests all provided! Good kayaks with rudders, not the kind you sit on top of and steer by furiously paddling backwards on one side. Best way to go see a light-​house on an island only reachable by boat. Great thing to do if you are in Boothbay.
