Kayaks & Paddleboards & NOW Canoes

Kayaks and Stand-Up Paddleboards can be rented and taken on a “self-guided” excursion for a 1hr/3hr or Full Day rental. We have single and tandem kayaks available as well as Stand-up paddleboards & Canoes for all sizes and skill levels. A brief introduction is given on how to launch, land and paddle as well as some review of wind and places to paddle. You can explore at your own pace along the Banana River. Start at any time of the day and go for as long as you’d like between opening and closing hours of operation.  Single Kayaks and SUP’s are for 1 person // Tandem kayaks are for 2 adults and can fit a small child in the middle // Our 17′ Canoes can fit up to a family of 4.
Unlike what other companies offer, Calema allows you to go self guided or with a guide for our Sunrise or Bioluminescence experience.   Children are welcome but must have an accompanying adult.

Sailboats

Calema offers monohull sailboats for rental and a multihull with a Captain on board. With boats right on the shore of the Banana River, launching is easy and the Banana River offers a large open area to explore and enjoy the breezes that blow year round.
To rent a sailboat at Calema – you must be able to demonstrate skills appropriate to the type of sailing craft.  This will be done at the beginning of your rental.  If you are not able to show basic, safe, skills, the rental will be stopped and no refund given. Once an initial checkout is passed, no other checkouts on future rentals for that type of boat are required.

All Rental rates are per BOAT, not per person. Any rented boat must have the skilled sailor (who had the checkout) aboard at all times. For the Stiletto – “Taste of Sailing”, the rate is for the first 2 persons – additional persons can be added for a fee.

Sailboat rentals are available for 3hrs or Full day. Late returns will be charged a late fee. Renters will be charged for damage to equipment. Sales tax of 7% is charged on all rentals.

Rental Policies

For KAYAKS & SUP rentals – no prior experience is required.  For WINDSURFING & SAILING – renters must have previous instruction and be able to demonstrate basic skills.  If a renter has less than, in the sole discretion of Calema staff, the ability to safely sail, the rental will be stopped without refund.
