Rent. Ride. Relax.

The perfect way to peruse Puget Sound...

General Guidelines

Boating can be dangerous at times, so please take advice from the following guidelines: First, wear a life vest at all times, whether you are riding a kayak or cruising in a yacht. Life vests are the safety belts of the boating world! Next, make sure you have proper licensing, particularly for our motor boats and yachts. If you do not have licensing, your purchase is non-refundable but can be at a later time when you do have your license. Finally, we are not responsible for any losses incurred by our service. Bringing valuables on a boat is generally not a good idea, and are prone to being dropped to the bottom of Puget Sound, never to be seen again.

How to Kayak

Many people are surprisingly bad at kayaking, but with these few tips, you can paddle better than 90% of people. First, know the orientation of how your paddle should be with respect to your boat. Make sure the curved part of the paddles are facing towards you, so that they can push water more efficiently. Additionally, hold the paddle such that when you hold the paddle in the air, both of your arms are at right angles. Finally, when paddling, use long, deep strokes rather than quick and shallow ones. This will allow you to go much further with a single paddle while using roughly the same amount of energy.

DISCLAIMER

While riding boats may be fun, it can also be dangerous at times. By agreeing to sign a waiver for your rental, we are not responsible for any injury and/or death, loss of possessions, loss of a limb, loss of a loved one, or the loss of one's faith in humanity. We are also not responsible for your ability to handle a boat, although we can offer you some classes for a decent price. Please keep this in mind and enjoy your stay at Sunset Boat Rentals!

Welcome to Sunset Boat Rentals! We are a locally-owned business in Olympia, Washington that allows clients to rent a variety of boats, jet skis, paddle boards, and more for a reasonable price. Founded in 2001 by Brendan Perez and Juan Fernando Matute, a couple of lonely fishermen who had nothing better to do with their lives, they were able to start a successful career in boating with only a few kayaks. Since then, their business has expanded far beyond kayaks, and have become the most popular boating service in Puget Sound.
