A really nice experience. A beautiful shop setting with an array of water crafts. Kitty was very knowledgeable and my order arrived in two days.

I had done some reading before deciding on a few brands/types of kayaks that might work well for me. I am not a novice paddler, but I am not an expert either. We had some inexpensive big box store kayaks that were good to splash around with, but they got in the way of any serious work out or excursion more than a few minutes long. I am a fit 54 year old from years of riding the road on high quality road bicycles, and I know how quality equipment can improve your exercise experience, and make it so much more fun. So can an excellent equipment/gear shop. I decided to visit Camillus Kayak Shop because they carried Elie kayaks, and because I had driven by the shop many times in the past 19 years, and was attracted to it. I had a great browsing and buying experience. And Kathy, one of the owners, spent time with me, and educated me in the most welcoming and worthwhile manner. Kathy's professionalism and expertise, and the great shop surpassed my expectation. I purchased a great boat and, after she taught me how to load it onto my Honda Civic, and then happily helped me do it with a simple transport system that they sell, I transported my kayak by myself to my camp in the Adirondacks where I have been happily paddling ever since. I plan to return in the near future to purchase a second boat, the one I left behind, so we have two really nice touring kayaks at our camp, one for me and one for any adventuresome friend who is up for a paddle on the lake.

what a super shop with really caring owners. This is the place to go for your kayaks or SUP boards. We bought our kayaks there years ago and went back to buy our SUP boards. They are super to deal with and very helpful in all matters. 5 stars in our book!

We purchased our kayaks from the Camillus Kayak Shop almost nine years ago. As we started shopping, we searched far and wide to find the right boat. We wanted to find boats that would last, so we wouldn't outgrow them or find they just weren't the right boat for our needs. We wanted a selection of high quality boats to choose from. The quality and variety at the shop amazed us. Finding the right boats, at a great price, with experienced paddlers giving us advice, and at a local shop all added up to some very happy customers. We still have our boats and still love them. We get complements every time we take them out. When it was time to try Paddleboarding, we headed back to the shop. We tried a variety of boards at the demo day, got some great advice and selected the board that is perfect for us. You guys are great! Thank you!
