Frequently Asked Questions​
Can I bring my dog? We’re happy to welcome well-behaved pups to our showroom and grounds! To ensure a great experience for everyone, please follow these simple guidelines: -Be a Good Neighbor Owners are responsible for their dog’s behavior, including barking and interactions with guests and staff. -Clean Up After Your Pet Please pick up promptly and dispose of waste properly. Bags available upon request. -Outdoor Safety Keep dogs clear of loading areas, workshop spaces, and the water unless otherwise directed by staff. -Health & Courtesy If your dog is anxious, aggressive, or unwell, please plan a different day for your visit or leave your dog at home. We love dogs — and we want to make sure your visit is enjoyable and safe for every guest, furry or not! If you have any questions in advance of your visit, feel free to contact us.
Can I take a boat home the same day? Yes, we try to have inventory of all of our most popular models available so that you can leave your demo with a boat. Due to storage restrictions, inventory of boats over 12' is limited. The further along in the summer season we are, the less likely we are to have what you're looking for available. It is a good idea to come prepared with a roof rack with crossbars on it.
Do you sell roof racks? Yes, we are a Yakima dealer. We offer both soft and hard rack systems. Soft racks are universal and will fit on almost all vehicles. Our hard racks are make, model, and year specific. If you are interested in having a rack installed it is important to call ahead of time to make sure we have the parts for your vehicle and an appointment scheduled for install.
Schedule a Test Paddle
The real magic starts when you sign up for a demo
Our Perfect Fit Program considers:
-
Your overall height, your torso, leg, and arm length along with shoe size, hand size, and weight.
-
We consider what type of paddling you intend to do, where this might occur, and under what conditions.
-
We note any concerns, or restrictions that you are worried about.
Based off this information, we will recommend a variety of boats.
Then we head to our on-site pond...
We begin with some basic instruction depending on your needs.
-
How to get in and out
-
Paddle technique
-
Carrying
-
etc.
You then have up to 90 minutes on our pond to really get the feel for each boat.
Our staff's experience can offer a good guess as to the best boat for you, but the water is what truly determines your perfect boat. At the end of this process you can be assured that you will have a boat that fits you.
What to Bring The experience can be tailored to your needs and ability level. while staying dry both feet and clothes is possible, it is always a good idea to expect to get wet -Comfortable footwear, water shoes, or wading boots (dry foot entry is an option while not as easy as a wet entry) -Paddle and PFD ( Both of these are available for loan during the demo, but we recommend using what you own for comparison of sizing and comfort with our boats) -Weather-appropriate clothing -Change of clothes (While it is not common for customer to get wet during a demo, it is always a good idea to plan ahead) -Water/snacks -Questions for our team

Keith Damick
“Knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff. They were able (and happy) to walk me through all aspects of their boats and to make sure I had all the information needed to make the proper choices for my new canoe. The on-water demo with true experts is absolutely invaluable! A terrific experience all around. With their guidance, I chose a 12ft Classic with the Rowing / Fishing Package...awesome boat!!"
Tammy Wright
"Very pleasant experience. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Josh was very patient with my dad and his questions. He did a great job with our demo group. Can't wait to get the new boats out!"
Ron Edwards
