2008 marks our thirteenth year in the paddlesports industry! At our waterfront store in Wickford, Rhode Island and on our on-line store we offer a terrific selection of gear (all the good stuff that you read about in Sea Kayaker, Canoe & Kayak and on paddling.net). In fact, we offer one of the largest selections of kayaks, canoes and accessories in the eastern United States and we ship nationwide. New items arrive each season and our exceptional demo fleet and waterfront location allows you the opportunity everyday to “test paddle” a boat before you buy. We regularly hear feedback that exceptional customer service and an outstanding inventory differentiate us from others, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Many things have changed over the last twelve years but one thing remains the same… teaching is still at the heart of our business. Whether you are a recreational paddler or an experienced sea kayaker, we have a program designed for you. Our teaching programs and international adventure travel continue to get rave reviews. We teach from April through October and get more than 1000 paddlers of all ages and ability on the water each year. Our waterfront location with easy access to Narragansett Bay just can’t be beat.

We’re all paddlers here at The Kayak Centre of Rhode Island. We love the sport, we use the gear we sell and we really enjoy what we do. We have an outstanding team and we believe that it truly makes a difference. We believe that you will too.

To those who may be new to our “centre”, whether you shop on-line or at our flagship store in Wickford, Rhode Island, or join us for an exceptional on water experience, our goal is to exceed your expectations, and we welcome the opportunity.

See you on the water!

      We don’t sell surfboards or skis or bikes (though we know some great shops that do)…our focus is on what we know and love best: kayaking. The Centre grew out of an instructional business nearly 13 years ago and today our goal is still the same--getting people on the water and excited about paddling. As a specialty retailer we do things the bigger guys don’t…the small things that make a huge difference. We use the gear we sell and we provide a level of knowledge and expertise that you just don’t find with other retailers. Join us for a truly unique shopping experience or a day out on the water…we’re more than just a retail store!
