Paddle Boards & Kayaks

BQYC has 2 kayaks and 2 stand-up paddle boards (SUP) that can be used by a member or a guest of a member. The watercraft is meant for use in the Bay of Quinte and is not meant to be towed or taken away from the club on a member’s boat.

1. We will not be taking reservations for the equipment; it will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. We are asking you to bring your own life jacket and whistle.  If you must use a club life jacket because you do not own one, please place it in the recycling bin when finished so it can be taken out of circulation and disinfected.
3. Signed waivers (once per year) will need to be dropped off at the bar before you are given the location and combination of the locks for the equipment.  The bar has copies of the waiver that can be signed.  There are specific rules on the waiver for minors, so please read them carefully if you are including them on the form.  Waivers for minors who are a guest must be signed by the minor’s parent or guardian. Once the signed waiver is on file at BQYC, you are free to use the equipment at any time.
4. Get an appropriate paddle: double-ended for KAYAK and single-ended for SUP
5. Launch it at the new Dinghy Ramp. Please pay special attention to the fin on the underside of the SUP.
6. Once you are done, please return the equipment to the proper locations and lock it up.
