Maui Ocean Rentals

Scott and Karina (I’m probably spelling that wrong, sorry!) were super awesome. The hubs and I really wanted to get out on the water in a kayak in the later half of the day to do some exploring and catch the sunset. The first day we called they went out to check the ocean conditions (we were staying in Kaanapali and M.O.R. is located in Kihei 45 mins away — so worth the drive!!) and let us know that it was rough out there and they didn’t want us to waste a drive and the rental $$ cuz getting out would be sketchy. How cool is that? These guys care about their customers. Luckily the waters calmed down a few days later and we were able to get out. Scott got us all set up with our kayak, vests, and even a dry bag for our stuff (I think my ziploc baggies amused him lol). He even walked it out to the shore with my hubs so I didn’t have to lug it out there… I’m no princess but that made me very happy! He gave us awesome advice on where to go and how to be safe, let us know where the wind would come in and advised we head that direction so we wouldn’t get pushed down shore on our way in and then helped us launch. The winds picked up so we came in a little before sunset and sat on the beach to watch the sun go down. Scott must have been worried we got lost out there (we’re newbies to kayaking) cuz he met us down on the beach right about sunset time. Then he helped us lug the kayak back in! Seriously, cannot recommend these guys highly enough! We will surely be back out next Maui visit!

I needed two stand-​up paddleboards to participate in a memorial for a dear late friend, and Maui Ocean Rentals really saved the day. Everything about the service here was great: it was easy, convenient, and reasonably priced at $ 40/​day for a SUP. In addition, Scott was incredibly professional and friendly, which really helped set a positive tone for the memorial experience. A big thank you to Scott and Maui Ocean Rentals! Our memorial couldn’t have gone better. I’ll definitely be back to rent again!
