Sit-in Kayaks

These kayaks have large open cockpits and track great through the water. Due to a lower center of gravity these are generally more stable than sit-on-top kayaks. We have options for one (single) or two (tandem) people.
Most of our models are Wilderness System Pungo’s (weight cap. 325lbs) and Pamlico’s (weight cap. 500lbs).

Sit-on Kayaks

This kayak is very user friendly and is easier to get in and out of than sit-ins. We have limited availability of both single and two-person options.
We have Perception Tribes singles (weight cap. 350lbs) and tandems (weight cap. 500lbs).

Fishing Kayaks

ECOmersion also offers fishing kayaks if you are looking to bring fishing equipment with you. These kayaks are sit-ons with the ability to attach a fishing rod holder and anchor (provided for you).
Our fishing kayaks are Wilderness System Tarpons with a weight capacity of 325lbs.

Hybrids

If you don’t know if you want to kayak or paddle board, this is the option for you! With a hybrid you are able to stand or sit and paddle. Also a popular option for people who want to fish and limited availability (ONLY AT WEEDON).
Our hybrid models are Perception Hi Life’s with a weight capacity of 280lbs.

Stand UP Paddle Boards (SUPs)

Most of our rental fleet are foam boards, about 11′ in length, which offer good stability for the novice paddler. We also provide a paddle leash.
