Master The Art Of Kayaking With A Safe And Scenic Two Hour Water Rental
Enjoy the adventure and challenge of kayaking with a two-hour rental designed for those who appreciate scenic waterways. Safety is the primary focus, and all participants are required to wear life jackets at all times while on the water. To ensure stability and control, users must adhere to strict manufacturer weight limits, which are set at 450 lbs for tandem kayaks and 275 lbs for single kayaks, ensuring a safe and balanced experience for every paddler.
Before heading out, participants should be able to follow verbal or visual instructions independently or with the help of an assistant. It is essential that at least one person in the kayak possesses the physical ability to maneuver the craft through the water and return it to the designated launching area. This requirement ensures that all guests can enjoy their outing with confidence, knowing they have the necessary skills to handle the kayak effectively in various water conditions.
Preparation and basic water safety skills are crucial, particularly in the event of a capsize. Participants should be comfortable in 80°F water and bright sunlight for the duration of the rental. It is important that riders know how to exit the kayak independently, right themselves, and remain face up in the water with the aid of a personal flotation device. Developing these skills allows for a fun and responsible experience while exploring the beautiful local waterways.
By following these safety guidelines and understanding the importance of preparation, guests can enjoy a rewarding and active day on the water. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced paddler seeking a quick escape, these rentals provide the perfect opportunity to connect with nature. Learning to handle the kayak safely ensures that your time on the water is both enjoyable and secure, creating a positive experience for everyone involved in the outing.

Customer Reviews
Had a fantastic few days onboard 'Jellybelly' - perfect size for the two of us. Not having 'barged' before Paul suggested a route down to Athy which was just perfect. If you want an idea of how slow the pace is, people walking on the towpath were overtaking us. If you're looking for a break away from the hustle of modern life this is it. Paul provided a comprehensive briefing of all the main aspects and everything went perfectly. Hopefully we'll be able do it again and take a different route
Best family vacay ever!!! We booked 4 days on Jellybelly for my dad's 70th birthday. He had rented jellybelly before for our granddad's birthday and had the best time. Paul was an absolute gem.... he helped us plan the perfect barge trip. He was in regular contact and made sure we had everything we needed for our trip. Jellybelly was comfortable and clean. Our whole party loved cruising along the canal and travelling through the locks . I would highly recommend renting from Jennifer travels. Thanks Paul for all your help. Can't wait to book again, jen
Everything about the boat was excellent; the owner keeps it in tip-top shape, everything works perfectly, and it is comfortably outfitted with everything you need (including peat for the stove, firestarters, and extra blankets). When you arrive for check-in, he shows you all you need to know, then drives you to the local grocery store for provisions (buy lots of water!), then takes you to the first lock to show you how to operate it (but there are lock handlers who do the work for you---be nice and tip them at the end of each day). The boats are easy to drive; Paul (owner) makes everything so easy, and provides helpful support throughout your vacation via text or phone. The owners are really nice people, and we had a great vacation. Soooooo much fun! So relaxing, and such beautiful scenery! Note that the smaller boats are a bit cramped even for 2 people, so we recommend splurging on a larger one---for sure you need to do that if you have 4 people! Photos are of the boat JellyBelly. For a great time and a taste of auld Ireland, be sure not to miss the truly excellent little pub "Fisherman's Inn", just south of Monasterevin. Also note that no local pubs serve food (so you'll need those groceries) and there are only two (occasionally working) ATMs in Monasterevin (there is also one in the grocery at Rathangan), so plan accordingly.
