Quick, efficient, affordable with a very friendly staff. PKC is a short roll/walk (5-10 min) down to the dock at Willamette Park. Sunny, warm afternoons are a madhouse for parking at WP with boaters and trailers. Recommend parking first, then walking up to PKC to get your kayak, instead of the other way around.
The staffs are super friendly!
And they provide guidance on how to kayak!
Great place to deliver to. Street unload, but great staff. They are very accumulating. Scheduled delivery for Wednesday but they stayed 3 hours after closing on Monday to unload us.
This place is a short walk to the Willamette and they give you wheels to help bring the kayak to the water. They were really nice and knowledgable about that day's water conditions. This portion of the river doesn't require you to shuttle back up the river, acts more like a lake in that regards. Definitely recommend!
Best kayak shop in town for boats, gear, trips, and lessons!
Portland kayak is such a great business! I was looking for a kayak in September for my boyfriends birthday. They helped verify the kayak I had researched was of good quality and I was able to reserve one they had shipping in. When I picked my kayak up the staff helped me put it on my small Honda Civic and ensure it was tied down well! Communication was great for the entire shopping experience.
Really nice staff and relatively inexpensive prices ($30/2 hr kayaking solo). Would recommend and do again
This is a great group of people to talk with and buy from if you are interested in purchasing a kayak and equipment, as well as learn how to use a kayak.
Great selection, knowledge, and prices. Best place I've been to kayak shopping. I will buy a boat here. Plus they are really nice and laid back.
