PaddlPass Business Membership

Helping rental businesses get more people on the water is a big part of what we do at Great Escape Kayaks. We supply rental-ready kayaks and paddleboards, put together fleet packages and complete waterfront rental systems, and help operators find equipment that makes sense for their businesses.

Now we're taking that experience in an exciting new direction with PaddlPass, a venture we've created to help rental businesses attract more customers and earn more rental income by giving paddlers one place to discover and book rentals from independent operators.

Think Airbnb, but for kayak, SUP and canoe rentals. Airbnb brings accommodations from thousands of independent hosts together in one place, making it easy for travellers to discover and book them. We're applying that same idea to paddle rentals across Canada and the U.S.

PaddlPass will bring participating rental businesses together on one searchable platform, where paddlers can find rental options by location, explore individual businesses and book their next outing. We'll market PaddlPass directly to paddlers through search, social media, digital advertising and travel-related content, bringing potential customers to the platform and helping them discover rental businesses they might never have found otherwise.

More visibility means more opportunities to fill available boats and generate rental income.

There's a second advantage to bringing operators together: greater collective buying power. PaddlPass Business Members benefit from preferred supplier pricing, including 15% off eligible equipment at Great Escape Kayaks.

We're proud to be the people behind PaddlPass, and we're inviting rental businesses to join us as we build the network. Explore Business Membership below to learn more.
