Southwind Kayak Center Rental Base

The owner and staff were all so friendly and helpful. We told the guy who is helping us that most of us are first timer and he gave us a brief tutorial guide. We will be back again and maybe trying out paddle boarding. The Bay is so pretty

Easy access to the bay or harbor, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Looking forward to my next paddle! (Be sure to enter off Bayside and drive all the way to under the overpass)

Stopped by at about 3:30pm on a Monday. They close at 5:00pm so we were able to get a good hour in. Josh & Max were great! This was my 3rd time and my guests’ 1st time paddle boarding. Max was super about giving us some good tips before we went out! Masks are required when you enter their property as of today 8/3/20. Plenty of free parking steps away from where we received our boards on the beach. Unlike some other places they do take credit cards - not just cash - so thankful! Josh was also great about holding onto our car keys while we went out. They were both so helpful and kind! When asked, Josh mentioned their busiest days are Thursday - Sunday. Kayaks are usually more popular than paddle boards. Their location is awesome - especially for beginners because we had the option to stay in the back bay or go out toward the ocean. I totally recommend this place for first time paddle boarders and/or kayakers! We will be back!

We had the best time today. We rented from the kindest most welcoming young man ever! My two kids said that he was the nicest man ever!!! We didn't catch his name, but gotta tell the boss....he is a keeper. We had a blast and would come again. This is our favorite place to rent from in Newport!!! The best service ever!!!!
