Okay where do I start. Firstly, if you're reading this all of the other reviews were written by friends and family of this marina. Now, I went to their marina and rented 5 kayaks to take to the Cantatooc river. It started off alright, although the marina was barely a marina, and instead a shack with boating paraphernalia all about the property in an unorganized mess. We took the shuttle to where we were to start our trip, but what they failed to mention was that the shuttle was a white van that had rust around the wheels, ripped clothe seats, and reeked of cigarette smoke. About 2 minutes into our drive, our driver whipped out a cigarette and started to smoke with my 9, 10, and 12 old daughters still in the car. When we finally got to the spot on the river it was a dump, not their fault but didn't help, and the employee practically through the kayaks of the trailer and left us to figure out which way to go. It was when we got in the water when we realized the condition of these kayaks. They were uncomfortable to say the least, and mine and my daughters had a black oil on the seat and back rest, which stained both our skin and swimsuits. Also the paddles, when dipped into the water, filled with water, which then was dispersed all over your lap which every stroke. By the end of our trip we were all soaked, tired, covered in a strange oil, and then finally mistreated when me and my husband had to carry the kayaks back to the random spots in the backyard of their shack. read more
