Bring Your Own Inflatable, Kayak or Canoe
While Saco Bound offers shuttle services for guests with their own equipment, we strongly recommend using our rentals and trips for a superior experience.
Here’s why our rental programs offer a much better excursion:
- Effortless Logistics: We handle all the planning and timing, ensuring a smooth trip. With over 50 years of experience navigating the ever-changing river conditions, we’ve got it all figured out.
- Limited Availability and Parking: Please note that our “Bring Your Own” programs are not recommended for Saturdays in July & August due to limited shuttle and parking space. Our facilities are primarily for our rental customers. For public river access, we suggest using local public put-in/take-out points, as we are not a public access facility or parking lot.
- Superior Equipment: Our commercial-grade tubes often feature a backup chamber for added safety, making them far more durable than retail tubes. Our Old Town canoes and kayaks are also of the highest quality.
- Hassle-Free Transportation: Avoid the dangers and difficulties of transporting your own equipment. We’ll have everything ready for you at the river and ensure a timely pick-up when you’re finished.
- Comparable Cost: You’ll find that the cost of bringing your own equipment is often similar to our rental prices, with far more factors to consider on your own.
If you do decide to bring your own equipment here’s are some things you need to know:
- You must book and pay in advance.
- Not available for most Saturdays in July & August.
- If you need a shuttle, we do not transport any equipment, just people.
- We cannot return to the pick up location if you’re late or if you miss your pick up. All pick-ups need to be scheduled in advance.
- Cost for those with their own equipment:
- $30 per day per car parking.
- $5 each person for facility use and river access
- Or $35 includes parking, facility use and 1 person shuttle.
