Are We Renting?

Lake Union Conditions

*Subject to Change

October 2025: We are entering the rainy and windy season so best to give us a call before visiting to rent. Rain is not an issue so long as there is no wind.

Water and air temperature has dropped enough that wetsuits are now required for SUP rentals. The wetsuit rental is included in the standard hourly rental rate.

October Rental Hours: 11am-6pm Wednesday through Sunday. Last call for rentals is at 4:30pm.

We reserve the right to stop renting if conditions on the lake are not suitable for beginners at our discretion.

If the weather looks iffy it's best to call ahead to see if we are renting.

  • Last call is 90 minutes before sunset or close, whichever is EARLIER

  • We shut down rentals if it's windy (sustained winds of 12mph or more, gusts of 20mph or more). For SUPs we may stop renting if the forecast calls for sustained winds over 10mph. It's not foolproof, but if there is a small craft advisory issued for the Seattle area it is likely we won't be renting.

  • We will close for rentals if there is lightning (minimum 30 minute wait period).

  • We close for rentals for cold temps (below 40° for most of the day).
