We chose the station square location. We arrived 15 min early and were able to board. The weather was absolutely perfect. You could either sit or move about the tiki boat. There was actually more space than I thought there would be. Its also BYOB and food. We had packed a cooler of drinks and snacks. Our 2 hours on the boat was fantastic and I would love to do this again! Highly recommend!

Our guides Matt and Sophie were wonderful. They reviewed the mechanics of kayaking including posture of straight torso with loss hips. They gave a safety briefing and made sure our life jackets were properly secured. And then we hit the water in time to enjoy the sunset. Their rental equipment (kayak boats, paddles, and life jackets) is in great condition. And for the night paddle, the kayaks were outfitted with glow stick lights (in addition to the required standard boat green/red lights). There was other River traffic but there was only one wake encountered during the whole two hours. I'm a beginner level kayaker and it was an easy paddle for just the right duration. Tip: if there are two of you together, I advise getting your own kayak so see more of each other and don't have to coordinate your strokes). There was a Pirates baseball game that night and it was cool to hear the roar of the crowd. The route that night also included The Point waterfall and the Science Center submarine. The only thing that could have made this outing better is if the Pirates had won and we could have watched the celebration fireworks from the water.

Review 200! Yeah! I was reserving this milestone review for somewhere special. I recently had a…read morepretty rocking birthday weekend full of wonderful places to fill this slot but I had to go with one that truly embodies my physical lifestyle, so naturally I had to choose Kayak Pittsburgh. Being a newbie I wasn't sure what to expect, other than I was pretty sure it was going to be awesome. The prices to rent are very affordable and definitely worth the experience. We didn't spend as much time on the river as we would have liked to, do to some upcoming reservations later in the day, but now that I have gotten a taste of it I am dead set on going back as much as I can. We started by heading up the river, but there are much more scenic views down river. Cruising down past the stadiums than over to the point to get a victorious picture of me hoisting my oar in front of the fountain. Such a wonderful way to see the city. Since we were on a tight schedule there wasn't much time for relaxing so it was basically nonstop paddling. This is a serious upper body workout. Heading back up the river was challenging at times, but still so much fun and a great workout! Can't wait to go back.

It's not some big corporation with a customer service department or any department, for that matter. His prices are stellar, he has old and hard to find parts available and will work very hard to find the one you might need. Are you used to Fox Chapel or some other fancy-pants marina? Well, then Bill might not be your cup-o-tea. Are you a real Pittsburgher who enjoys a good chat and some blue collar service, then this is absolutely your spot! Bill prepped the prop for me right in front of me and was a heck of a nice guy at a price that was about 2/3 less than everyone else.

Visit Aspinwall Riverfront Park and you'll find a great spot to rent a kayak! This rental booth is…read moreoperated by Kayak Pittsburgh, a specific project that's part of the Venture Outdoors nonprofit group. Aspinwall is their 3rd Kayak Pittsburgh location in the area (with other locations on the North Shore and in North Park). With plenty of free parking available at this little park, you normally just have to show up and pay for your kayak. (Note that during 2020, an online reservation is required due to the popularity of their kayaks and because they need to control the number of people in the area at a time.) You'll be provided with a life vest and paddle after checking in. The staff will also answer your questions and provide tips on kayaking if you need them. They'll then help you get your boat into the water, where you can paddle at your own pace and enjoy the scenery. I do want to mention that because this is a river location, you'll want to keep the strength of the current and any wind in mind as you paddle along the Allegheny. You may find yourself working harder in one direction or another depending on what the current and wind does during your visit. So give yourself plenty of time to get back to the launch point, and be careful about overexerting yourself early on. Other tips from this regular kayaker are: bring PLENTY of water; don't forget your sunscreen and a hat; bring a waterproof bag for your valuables; and consider investing in some sports gloves so that your hands don't get too sore or blistered paddling. Do those things, and you're sure to have a blast during your time on the water!
