    A local business with SUP and kayak rentals. It's a great spot to rent items on the bay for an hour or two. The staff pay attention to the weather and really care about your safety. The water is calm for beginners and it's not busy with boat traffic. They also do guided excursions at 10 am, 11:30 am, and 1 pm.

    If flags are flying, conditions are too rough
    A C.

    Went here when on vacation with my family. The day was windy. Wish I was warned that a stand up paddle board was not a good idea to rent, though I am experienced. We rented a standup paddleboard, kayak, and a single kayak for a child. We paid approximately $150 for a 2-hour rental. I did not make it very fair on the standup paddleboard because the water was super choppy. I had to turn around and I asked for a kayak instead. I rode out to the rest of my family and found it very close to impossible to go out too far. We all decided to return to shore and returned our equipment. We were only out for the 45 minutes of our two hour rental. There weren't any other people renting equipment, as we were the only ones. When we got back to sure I was told by one of the young workers that I needed to pay $10 because I traded in my paddleboard for a kayak. I asked them that since we only rented the equipment for 45 minutes out of the two hours and due to being poor conditions, if they could waive the $10 and also I had left my wallet upon rental so my items would not get wet. The owners flatly said no! Are you kidding me! Not only were conditions too rough to enjoy, we only rented for 45 minutes out of the 2 hours and they could not waive $10.00, in addition not warning us waters were too rough. When I returned to pay, I told them as an independent business owner myself, you just have to provide good customer service and not nickel and dime each customer. What they did was bad business and I will not return again. Update- the owners response is so far from the truth it incredible. I PAID the 2 hours but water too choppy to continue, did NOT ask for refund. Choose 1 hour on paddle as 2 hrs is too much. Ask to swap for all of 15 minutes for canoes NO ONE was using. Asked NOT to be charged the $10 for the upgrade as that was the TIP to your hard workers, so they were shorted less money. I gave your husband all of the feedback when I was there in person with you in the booth, including the fact that the $10 was a tip being taken away from the workers, but you didn't seem to care. Not only did you not have a response back to me, but you took the $10 away from your workers, shame on you. That tells me how greedy you are as an owner.

    Loved everything about the experience, George, the staff member who helped us was very helpful and thoughtful!!!!

    We rented two tandem kayaks and a paddle board at our vacation house- they delivered these amazing kayaks and extra large paddle board - we had so much fun as a family - very nice equipment, friendly service - highly recommend !!!

    A lovely setup right at Northbeach that allows for the whole family or a group of friends to have fun. Guides are helpful and knowledgeable- would recommend getting a guided tour! I want to come back for the windsurfing! I also was in the market for my own paddleboard. I came to the right place- George was so helpful with getting me set up with the perfect board and everything I would need! He was very knowledgeable. Would also highly recommend for anyone looking to buy a board/water sports equipment!

    Love Delmarva Board Sports! We went paddle boarding and had so much fun! The employees are great and explain everything well!

    Bald Eagle

    My daughter and I took a Fall Kayak trip on the Broadkill River. The leaves were beautiful, we saw turtles and even a bald eagle. Our tour guide George was very knowledgeable and personable. He took photos of us and spotted the Eagle. A beautiful trip!

    Single kayak right on the water!

    It's simply amazing, the lessons were top notch and had tons of fun learning how to surf!read more

    I was in town for one week and am in the process of learning to kiteboard. I spoke with Bob (the…read moreshop owner) and the instructor, Jaxson, about my skill level (beginner, got up on the board and moving forward during the last lesson I had) and goals prior to arriving. My first lesson with Jaxson was not good. He was not prepared from an equipment/communication standpoint for the lesson. He had only a waist harness (no seat harness) for a beginner lesson. He brought only one size kite, which seemed too small for the amount of wind we had and my body weight. He brought only one size board, which was ~20cm smaller than the board I used during other lessons. It is my understanding that larger boards are preferential for beginners. He asked me if I wanted to wear a helmet (yes, I am still learning). He did not bring an impact vest. He did not bring a method of communication (ie BbTALKIN). Whenever I would ask Jaxson a technical question, his basic response was "that's just how it is". I am a very technical person and I appreciate understanding how things work. I like to know the details. When I tried to dig deeper for further details, I could sense him getting frustrated. He would just reiterate what he had already said. After our lesson, he sent me a text stating that I wasted his time and money because I misrepresented my skill level (I told him I was a beginner). He also stated he was upset with me because he bumped me ahead of other students that had been waiting for at least a month for a lesson (I did not ask for this). If you want to learn to kiteboard, please go elsewhere or you will be disappointed. I wasted my time and money (and excitement). Please don't waste yours!

    My family and I rented a pontoon boat for our family of 8. We filled out the waivers ahead of time…read moreand arrived early to go over any additional paperwork. The people on the dock gave us a very brief overview of the boat and gave us a map to use on the bay. We headed out and within a few minutes of leaving the marina, we noticed something wasn't quite right with the engine. It was making a sound that reminded us of metal clinking together. As we continued on, the motor stalled out and would not start again which brought on some serious panic. We called the number that we used to book the reservation and the woman on the line stated that she didn't handle this sort of thing, which was not helpful in our current situation. We finally realized that the person on the dock wrote his phone number on the back of our map. We called it several times with no answer. This brought on more concern as we were stuck in the channel and had no way to get back to the dock. We finally received a call back 30 minutes later after waving other boats down for assistance. All in all we got back to the dock to switch out boats but the scary part of all of this is the fact that in a true emergency, no one is available and things could have been much worse. This company needs another hotline besides scheduling if any renters need support or assistance.

    The guys were awesome! Had a great experience! The sunset was beautiful! Highly recommend!read more

I've filed a complaint with the BBB and I am now filing with the Attorney General of DE. They STILL advertise that they rent jet skis!!!

    First I would like to say that I have rented boats before from other places in the U.S and this was…read morethe first time I had to deal with such a horrible experience. TO begin with it was this past weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, and everyone is out trying to rent boats. It's a fun thing to do with a group of friends and we were very much looking forward to it. We called around to a few boat places and although Delaware Marine Group was not the cheapest, they boasted that their boats were a lot faster then the others around them. Since we wanted to go tubing, we thought this would be our better option. First of all this place is so unorganized. We made a reservation and they completely forgot about us. When we finally got that figured out it took at least 30 minutes for them to bring our boat up to dock. AND THE BOAT THEY BROUGHT WASN'T EVEN OUR BOAT. They accidentally sent our boat out with another party. This created a problem since we were a group of 13 and the boat they wanted to send us out with only carried 12. Well they said it wouldn't be a problem. They took our money, didn't go over any safety rules and didn't have us sign any contract or anything so off we went. We were on the water for about 30 minutes, on a boat called the Hurricane, which was too small and too slow for our party, before the cops pulled us over in the middle of the bay. They did a random inspection of the boat and found that we did not have enough life jackets on the boat, and that our driver didn't have a license (we didn't know we needed to have a license and we were never told this) When we returned to the harbor the owners seemed SHOCKED and acted like they had told us all the rules. We politely argued and the cops fined them for the life jackets and fined us for the license. We asked for a refund but the only refund they wanted to give us was TO USE THE TIME WE STILL HAD LEFT ON THE BOAT AT ANOTHER TIME. We paid 380 for four hours and only used 30 minutes, and it was our last day at the beach. We told them that since we did not sign a contract with them, he could not hold this requirement against us. However he said since we made the reservation it was our RESPONSIBILITY to know what the contract stated- EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER GAVE US A CONTRACT TO LOOK OVER. After bickering for 15 minutes and getting no where, other then we are going to sue you for legalities that he was gong against, he had one of his staff take us out on the same boat for the remaining time. THe kid that drove us was really nice-however he said that DMG has problems with all of their equipment and will never issue refunds. For example, that day someones jetski died in the middle of the ocean. Thank god that person had their cell phone on them, or else he could have died. He wanted a refund but instead they sat him on another jet ski. This place is all about money and not about customer service, don't be fooled. The owner comes off really nice but he isn't and all their boats and jetskis have problems. They are old and run downed and they are charging way to much. There are cheaper boat rentals in other places, especially Ocean City. They say you get what you pay for but we paid almost 100.00 an hour and got a slow boat ride and ocean police ticket. BEWARE

I was here again with my same family of five including two elementary school children. This time I rented two double kayaks for 1 hour at $30 each or $60 total. I also rented one single kayak for one hour or $20. Our total cost was $80 for two doubles and one single kayak in total. This time we traveled south in the bay since the current was moving North. That made it easier for us to kayak back to the kayak base. We returned within one hour. I also purchased a Coastal Kayak hoodie for $40. We agreed we will return here again.

I showed up on the day of my arrival and rented a 10" board with no problems. FYI - the 10" board fit in my compact-size SUV with the headrests removed, front seat down and fin removed. The rental included a paddle and the board also had a leash. I had my own Coast Guard approved lifejacket. I also booked the Burton Island's wildlife guided tour which was a 2-hour tour thru the salt marsh around Burton's Island. Bob (our guide) gave a quick "kayaking 101" before we started and off we went. We had 8 total in our group which was a perfect size for the tour. On the tour we observed ospreys, lots of different types of sea gulls, cormorants who use the bay as a runway before taking off into the blue sky, horseshoe crabs, teeny-tiny fiddler crabs no bigger than a quarter, and little turtles popping up to see what was going on as we were paddling thru the marsh. Bob is a great tour guide with lots of info about the area and wildlife. The meeting point for the tour is the Burton Island's trail head located on the north end of the Indian River Marina inside the Delaware Seashore State Park. For me, it was a short15 minute drive from where I was staying in Fenwick Island. Price wise - the tour and SUP rental were quite reasonable. I will definitely rent from Coastal Kayak the next time I'm in Fenwick Island.

Our group of jet skiiers included everyone from parent/child combos to adult couples and even expert jet skiiers. My wife and young daughter went on the banana boat experience since my daughter isn't old enough for jet skiing. They had a blast getting a ton of ocean spray in their face while being towed behind a motor boat (make sure to wear goggles). My son and I shared a jet ski and I was really impressed. They are certainly powerful (we got up to 60 km/hour), but have some impressive built-in safety features. There is an auto-break that applies whenever you approach the jet skiing boundaries or get too close to another jet ski or other boat. As a novice, I really appreciated that feature.
