My sister and I rented two kayaks with DBOS to kayak camp at Goat Harbor. We had such a great experience and the staff, especially ⭐Aaron Pitts⭐, were incredibly helpful. He helped me get gear to the island and made sure I had all the equipment I needed to be successful camping so remotely. ⭐Preston⭐ let us stow our extra gear so we were only taking necessities into the field and gave us info on the conditions which saved our butts from being stranded😅 Would highly recommend renting from here!

Highly recommend this rental spot. The first time we went my husband and I rented a kayak and snorkeling gear for two. It was so nice to have four wide hours in which to explore, there was no clock ticking on our rental. we got a nice long paddle in. Snorkel gear is one price for the day. Pitts was enormously helpful as we grilled him with questions about where to go and the best snorkel spots, the staff walked us through everything from loading our boat to putting us out to sea. We followed Pitts' advice and checked out some really amazing coves, we snorkeled with sea lions, saw beautiful fish. We got the boat back early and took the snorkel gear out right in Descanso and saw a world of sea life. Personable crew--we felt like they would have our backs if something came up. Nothing was stressful about the rental which is what you want on vacation.
