Two Hour Tempe Town Lake Kayak or SUP Rental

At Northshore Watersport Rentals, we specialize in Kayak, Stand-Up Paddleboard, and Bicycle rentals.  We have full service and self-service rentals.  We are open 24/7 with self service at Tempe Town Lake (the lake is open 5:30am - 10pm).  

Northshore Watersport Rentals is a family-owned business that has been a staple in Tempe Arizona since 2016. We are located just steps away from the boat dock in the Tempe Town Lake Marina. 

Our full service hours are Fri-Sun 9:30am-4pm.  With Full-Service one of our staff members will take your watersport rental to the lake, teach you the basics (if you need them), and return the watersport rental when you’re finished.

You may do self-service anytime.

You can find us next to the Tempe Town Lake Marina or inside the Vela Apartment complex on the West side.

We have two brands for single kayak rentals, Pelican and Perception, the pelican models are Trailblazer NXT 100 and Bandit NXT 100. The perception models are the Joyride 10.0. There are two styles of kayaks sit-in and sit-on-top. Sit-in Kayaks are slightly easier due to your center of gravity being lower, while the sit-on-top will have more exposure to the sun for tanning. We can accommodate either style if you have a preference. All our kayaks are beginner kayaks, they’re designed to be harder to tip over and allow an enjoyable experience for anyone.

Yes, we are very pet friendly. Please make sure they have a life jacket so they’re compliant with lake rules. Northshore Watersport Rentals doesn’t provide life jackets for dogs.

We won’t allow anyone under the age of 5 on a rental by themselves. After that, we'll defer to your judgment. If you think they’re capable, we trust your judgment.

The water is safe to swim in; however, the city of Tempe doesn’t allow swimming because there are no lifeguards on duty.

Life jackets are provided.

Anyone under the age of 13 is required to wear a life jacket at all times.

Paddleboarders do not need to have a life jacket, unless under the age of 13.

Kayakers are required to have a life jacket on the boat but don’t need to be worn, unless under the age of 13.
