Canoe Rentals

If you’re yearning for adventure in a more spacious boat, our canoe rentals are the perfect choice. This timeless tradition is deeply rooted in the culture of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a novice explorer, our 17-foot Western Clipper Canoes await to carry you on an unforgettable journey through the pristine waters of the Sechelt Inlet and beyond.

Made in Canada Canoes

At Pedals & Paddles, we take pride in offering canoes that embody the spirit of British Columbia. Our collection of Western Clipper Canoes boasts the highest quality, handcrafted with precision since 1976. Each canoe is meticulously laid up by hand, ensuring a perfect blend of strength, rigidity, and durability. Experience the serenity of navigating the waters in a canoe created in beautiful British Columbia.

Canoeing with Kids and Dogs

Looking to share the joy of canoeing with your entire family, furry friends included? Look no further! Our canoes are spacious enough to accommodate two paddlers comfortably, with the option to add an extra seat for an additional adult or up to two seats for two children. And yes, your canine companions are more than welcome to join in on the adventure! However, we do advise caution as some dogs may react to the wildlife. You know if your dog is capable of sitting and not rocking the boat.

Overnight Experiences & Long Excursions

With ample storage space and unmatched stability, our canoes provide the perfect platform for multi-day adventures.  Our canoes have a maximum capacity of  750 lbs to ensure enough freeboard.

Please note: we rent by the calendar day so if you rent for overnight, pick up any time after 9 am on the first day and return by 5pm on last day. If you are arriving at the end of the day (5pm) or need to return an overnight rental early (by 9am), we have a special rate, as you are not using the kayak during our rental day. You must inform us 72 hours prior to pick up to qualify for these special rates.
