Fancy exploring the coastal waters around Arran this year but don’t have a craft yourself? Why not hire one of our 'board in a bag' Paddleboards or sit on top Kayaks from our store in the heart of Brodick. What’s more we’re only a few steps away from the local slipway and beach so there really isn’t a better place to start your next adventure. Daily hire is available year-round from 24 hours to two weeks and the longer you hire the more discount you’ll receive! Book online up to a year in advance to guarantee yourself the equipment you need for your next holiday or time on Arran. We don’t hire wetsuits but all hire’s include one adult buoyancy aid and child (if needed) - we have a vast stock of wetsuits and accessories available to buy in store. To avoid disappoint order your wetsuit online and collect in-store. Paddleboards – we use the awesome Red Paddle Co Ride 10’8” which comes deflated and packed into an incredible back-back system. Simply pop your bag in the car and head off to your chosen launch site anywhere on Arran. We include the pump, paddle and waist leash in our bags; other accessories such as camera mounts and waterproof phone pouches are also available to hire. Kayaks – choose from either the RTM Duette tandem or single person Makao as your craft of choice for exploring Brodick bay. These solid plastic kayaks are available to collect from store and take away (if you have a roof rack) or you can start your jounrye directly infront of the store at our local slipway. Hire includes your paddle and buoyancy aid. Check out our website for all the details.

Quirky Island Fact
#20 - Arran has Scotland's First No Take Zone
The Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST) is a local charity and was established in 1995 by local divers, Howard Wood and Don McNeish, who had noticed the depletion of species on the seabed. The No Take Zone at the north end of Lamlash, was eventually created, after much campaigning, in 2008, and COAST were instrumental in then establishing the Marine Protected Area (MPA) which covers the coast around the south of Arran.
