WORLD RECORD: Largest Floating KAYAK RAFT 
Be a part of history as we attempt to set a new Guinness Book World Record for the largest floating gathering of kayaks !
On Saturday, April 6, 2019 at 3:00pm, we will attempt to set a World Record on the Apalachicola River by rafting-up over 3500+ kayaks. The current Guinness World Record was set  by One Square Mile of Hope (USA) in Inlet, New York, USA, on September 13, 2014 when 3150 kayaks and canoes rafted up together.  We can beat this with your help!
 
This amazing event will take place at the confluence of the beautiful Apalachicola River and the Apalachicola Bay. Put-in locations will be spaced out at public landing and private marinas along the Apalachicola River.  Kayaks will gather and be linked by boaters arm in arm or paddle to paddle and assembled for 30 seconds.   


​All proceeds from the Paddle Jam 2019 Official Guinness World Record "Kayak Raft Up" event will go to helping low income and At-Risk children, youth, and families in need through ReCharge Community Outreach.

Kayaks & SUP's 
KAYAKS:: Our kayaks are part of the Bic Sport Beach Kayak range.  They are designed to be stable and simple for the all round user - this makes them great kayaks for our rental fleet!  They are sit on top kayaks that are self draining, this means they are extremely hard to capsize, ensuring peace of mind for novice and experienced kayakers alike.  All our rental Kayaks come with the seat backs, personal floatation devices, paddles and paddle leash.  See below for our pricing.
SUP's::  As with our Kayaks, our Paddleboards are made by Bic Sport.  Their excellence in all things plastic mean our rental Ace-Tec boards are extremely lightweight and very durable.  We have two different sized boards that we rent out, 10'6" which is used optimally up to around 195lbs riders.  Then an 11'6" board which holds riders up to around 245lbs.
