Detailed Information
Dockside Kayak Rentals
Dockside Kayak Rentals operates from the Digby Waterfront Fundy Complex, offering single and double kayak rentals for exploring the Annapolis Basin and the Bay of Fundy. The operation launches directly from a floating dock, making it easy to get on the water without transport logistics. Paddlers can explore the Digby scallop fleet at anchor, work their way along the shoreline, or cross the basin for views of the Digby Gut and the open Fundy waters.
Rentals start from $39 for a half-day single kayak, with full-day and double-kayak options available. All safety gear — life jackets, paddles, and safety kits — is provided, and beginners are welcome. A waiver form is required before launching. The calm, protected waters of the Annapolis Basin make this a particularly good family activity, and the location at the Fundy Complex means you can combine a paddle with lunch or dinner at the on-site restaurant.
