⏰ Hourly Paddle Board Rental

Hourly rentals are perfect for quick sessions, especially if:

  • You're short on time

  • It’s your first time trying SUP

  • You just want a relaxing paddle close to shore

✅ Pros:

  • Budget-friendly (pay only for the time you need)

  • Great for beginners or families

  • No need to plan a full excursion

  • Try it before committing to a full-day rental

⚠️ Things to Consider:

  • Limited time to explore hidden coves or remote beaches

  • You may feel rushed, especially if wind picks up or you're enjoying it too much!

📅 Full-Day Paddle Board Rental

A full-day rental gives you total freedom to explore at your own pace. Ideal for:

  • Experienced paddlers

  • Adventure lovers

  • Couples or groups planning a full beach day

✅ Pros:

  • More time = more adventure

  • Discover secret spots, caves, and hidden beaches

  • Stop for swimming, snorkeling, or picnicking

  • Better value if you paddle for 3+ hours

⚠️ Things to Consider:

  • Slightly higher cost upfront

  • You need to plan your route, watch the wind, and bring supplies (water, sunblock, dry bag)

🧭 Local Tip: Combine Both Options

If you’re new to paddle boarding, start with a 1–2 hour guided session, then later rent by the day to revisit your favorite spots confidently.
