I got an urge to go kayaking today so we called ahead and made a reservation, nice and easy. They did ask us for our credit card over the phone, but that's fine. The GPS brings you right to the water, so if you go, it's actually a store on the street as you walk to the beach. We went onto the beach first to the tent where you get the kayaks, but the guy said "Oh you need to go to the store first." We walked back (it's not far) and checked in. The store area is very small/cramped but we didn't have to spend much time in there. We signed our waiver, they took our small belongings to put into a locker (yes!) and gave us lifejackets and paddles. Took maybe 4 minutes, tops. Prices seemed okay too - $26 for a tandem kayak for an hour rental. We went back down to the tent at the beach and were given the kayak which the owner dragged down to the water for us. He helped both of us get in and gave us a quick refresher since I'd only been kayaking once, a few years ago. He pushed us out and we were on our way. It was an ideal day for kayaking - warm, occasional breeze, quiet on the water. We kayaked down the shoreline a bit, and then out into the sound and then back in. We were a little early - BRING A WATERPROOF WATCH! Our phones were stowed in our car so we couldn't tell the time so we guessed and came back about 15 minutes early. We could've gone out again but I was okay being done a little early. Overall we had a good experience. I'd rent kayaks from here again but we'd also want to check out other places along the shoreline as well to compare. Staff was pretty friendly. read more

The people at the counter were extremely helpful and the reservation process was super easy especially for a day before reservation. The day of we walked up, filled out release forms and got right in to our kayaks and paddle boards. It was a beautiful day to explore the water and a great way to finish out a vacation. Highly recommend this shop and the people who run it. Next time we're in town, definitely going back! read more

My 9 year old and I took a SUP lesson together this morning. We loved every minute. Tina was very patient, funny and knowledgeable. The water was beautiful and peaceful. We cannot wait to come back (And we are even considering going to the Derby location to try our hand at lake SUP. ) Per my 9 year old son "super fun. Great teacher. I want to come back soon!!!" read more

Rented a kayak at their new Derby location. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Kayak was in great condition. The lake was calm with just a few boats. They allowed my daughter to launch her own kayak for just $5 and assisted where needed. Loved every minute of it! Will definitely be back to attempt stand up paddle boards very soon!! read more

What a great place. Right on the beach. Just a 30 minute paddle out to the island. Bring plenty of water and pack a picnic lunch! The staff was so helpful and friendly. Defiantly coming back this summer!! read more

Scoot & Paddle - Paddleboarding Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

See all

This place is great!! I totally recommend them for a fun day in the sun. We rented the kayaks and it was our first time kayaking. They gave us a little training and walk through of what to do and we were off. We will definitely be going back. read more

Great spot to rent a kayak. They're well positioned to take advantage of the Milford Point area, which is an amazing place to kayak. They also stock some beachy accessories should they be needed. I haven't rented a scooter, but I imagine it's a great way to experience the coastal areas of Milford. read more

Great SUP and kayak rental and more by Walnut Beach in Milford. Shop has super friendly staff and cute shopping. They have some group paddles available. Also offer a sunset/sunrise paddle and yoga at the beach in the summer! Making Milford feel like an island! Thanks guys! read more

Scoot & Paddle - Group getting ready to paddle out at sunrise - perfect conditions! - Paddleboarding Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Myself and 3 friends made reservations for a Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga 8am class. We were instructed to arrive at 7:30am. No one arrived to teach the class, no one called to inform us, and no one answered our phone calls when we called to question why no one showed for the class. We waited for the store to open at 9am, still no one was able to answer why the instructor did not show. The employees were unable to contact the manager and so after an hour and a half, we left. Very disappointed, very unprofessional. read more

Great service and awesome prices. A great way to add some adventure into your summer. read more

Scoot & Paddle - So much fun! - Paddleboarding Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Scoot and paddle rocks. They are so nice. I love working here! Tina the boss is very friendly and knowledgeable!

They are located right off of the beach which makes them a great convenience. All of the staff there were super friendly and answered all the questions I had like how the tide was that day and which direction would be best to take the kayaks out in first. Their prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely recommend! read more

I had gone out to go paddle boarding near Scoot and Paddle. I was using my own equipment (paddle board, life jacket, oar, etc). It was my first time using them at the beach. The guys working at Scoot and Paddle helped me get on my board and gave me a mini lesson on how to use the oar and how to sit and stand on the board. They didn't charge me anything. Really great business! read more

Awesome place especially with friends / family. Rented tandem bicycles & SUPs a few times - always a great experience and so much fun! Recently purchased 2 boards from here too for a really good price. Tina is so helpful & accommodating - I love you and your business!!! Wish all business owners were this great. Def check these guys out! read more

Very friendly and helpful. This was a great first time experience kayaking. The owner explained all we needed to know. I will definitely be back. read more

I absolutely love this place! The prices are reasonable and the people who work there are friendly and helpful. The only downside is parking. On a nice weekend, it could be hard to find parking near the shop. Oh and I recommend reservations. I'm so glad I found this place, look forward to the next time. Lots of fun! read more

Love they are in the neighborhood can't wait to try the paddle boards. Staff is so friendly and helpful, great time for singles as well as families . Prices are reasonable. Love their concept. read more

The service here was great! The woman who attended my boyfriend and I was pleseant and informative. The equipment provided by the company (kayak, paddles and life jackets) were new or at least well taken care of. Over all, it was a great experience and I will definitely come again! read more

I've rented SUPs here multiple times and can't help but get frustrated at the time it takes to get service here. So much so that I've considered buying my own SUP. It's local though, the area is nice, and the prices are decent. The equipment itself is in good condition and the SUPs are great for beginners. I'm interested in trying a scooter or tandem bike one day. It looks like they offer a bunch of interesting classes and events as well. read more

Nice people, easy process, beautiful area to rent a paddle board. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thanks!

Really easy rental experience. The rental place has a small bathroom and has lockers for valuables you don't want to keep in your car. As a first time kayaker, I was sort of worried but the people sending us out said I shouldn't worry at all. And I really didn't have to. There's an island that's visible around 30 mins paddling away that you can reach so it's nice to bring a small picnic if you want. Warning though, it is a Shelly shore so would advise on keeping your flip flops on. read more

Terrible customer service. One of the worst experiences. We were interested in lessons plus paddle board purchase. Staff was very rude and not helpful. Seemed disinterested. read more

Service here was very good. You could tell that the young boy at the front was new and told us certain things about our experience that the girl next to him had to correct him on. The girl, however was great and very friendly. Her grandfather, I believe his name is Laurant, helped my boyfriend and I get set up with our Sups and (although it was just a rental and not a lesson) he taught my boyfriend how to get up and stay up until he felt comfortable. I ended up cutting my foot and they were very quick to ask if I needed a first aid kit and were very willing to help. Definitely would go back and highly recommend!! read more

Awesome spot right next to the beach in bustling Walnut beach area with other cute things to do and eat. Christina and her family staff work hard to make sure that her kayak, paddleboard, bike, and scooter customers have a fun, affordable, and safe time out on the water or road. On busy days her colorful kayaks light up the sound! The shop has other cute beach items and there's an extra rental spot on the east side of walnut beach. Don't miss sunset paddles on Wednesdays! read more

I really don't want to give them 1 star because they don't deserve it, but I had to in order to post. I've been trying to get certain t-shirts in XL for 2 months. They strung me along by saying they would order it and it would take 1 week. I have family coming in from CA and I wanted to give them nice Milford t-shirts. Today, my 6th attempt to confirm it was ordered/or received and awaiting my pickup, I'm told they need a minimum order of 50. WHY DIDNT THEY TELL ME THIS FROM DAY 1?????? Hey, I'm just trying to support local business, you know being in the neighborhood? I guess it's not reciprocal for them to take care of their customers/neighbors. They suck and I will never give them my business. read more

This is the second time I have rented from this business and both times have been very pleased. My family rented 3 scooters and 2 paddleboards this past 4th of July weekend from this business. We were extremely pleased with the quality of both - equipment was new and in good working order. The service was excellent also. They took reservations over the phone and then were very accommodating. It was a busy holiday weekend but they treated us well giving good instructions on how to use the equipment. A plus. I would definitely rent from them again. read more
