Fleet Information

It can easily cost between $1000 and $2000 to purchase your own boat, PFD, paddles, flotation and other equipment. The club has a large fleet of boats that can be used by members, which can save you considerable expense and allow you to concentrate on acquiring personal gear such as wet suits, wet boots, roof racks, ropes, etc. Also the fleet provides you with the opportunity to try a variety of boats before you decide which one to purchase.

All club equipment is only available to club members for club activities.


The NWV club does NOT rent any equipment to the general public at any time.

(If you are looking to just rent a boat for personal use, search the yellow pages under Canoes & Kayaks)
