It was a difficult decision, but the safety and health of  our clients and staff are always our top priority.

Welcome to North Shore Kayak Outdoor Center in Rockport, Massachusetts - your spot for premier kayak and paddle board tours, rentals and sales!  We specialize in fully-outfitted sea kayaking and stand-up paddle board tours and are proud to provide you with an unforgettable ocean adventure along our lovely coastline.

​Join us for a guided ocean tour to local islands, or rent a kayak, paddleboard or pedal boat to explore the harbor or coastline at your own pace.   In addition to touring, recreational and sit-on-top kayaks, we also rent bicycles, pedal boats and stand-up paddle boards. 

Guided sea kayak tours leave Bearskin Neck daily from June to Labor Day on explorations of the beautiful Rockport coast and islands.  

We carry a wide range of new and used touring, recreational, and whitewater kayaks in plastic, Airalite, fiberglass and Kevlar,  as well as canoes and stand-up paddle boards.  Brands include Necky, Perception, Current Designs, Old Town, Dagger, Hurricane, Impex and BIC.  We often have used kayaks and equipment available at 30-50% off the original retail price.

And if you just want to relax, come on down and browse our huge selection of sandals and sports footwear for your summer adventures, or have a seat outside the shop and enjoy the harbor view, a cooling sea breeze and our free Wifi. 

Interesting in trying kayaking for a season? We have a leasing program that lets you lease a kayak or paddle board (with appropriate gear) to try it out.  At the end of the lease, you can either return it or buy it - your choice!
