Rent a kayak in Stockholm

KAYAKOMAT offers unmanned SUP and kayak rentals throughout Stockholm and the rest of Sweden. You book your kayak online, pay, unlock it with a code, and start paddling. As easy as it gets. And perfect if you’re introverted as a typical Swede and like to avoid small talk. A paddle, cockpit cover, and life jacket are included and can be found in the kayak’s cockpit. Since KAYAKOMAT is open 24 hours a day, you don’t have to plan and can enjoy long summer evenings. As soon as you see a beautiful sunset or your friend calls, just rent a kayak and start paddling.

KAYAKOMAT offers flexible kayak rentals in most places – both in the city center, in the Stockholm archipelago, and by beautiful beaches. Hagaparken, Stora Essingen, Stocksund, Sköndal, Nacka, Bromma, Värmdö, Nynäshamn, Vaxholm, and Ornö are some examples. The kayaks you rent are specially developed to be stable, safe, and easy to use. Therefore they’re suitable for both beginners and more experienced kayak users. Behind the concept is Point 65 Sweden, which is the world’s leading paddle sports rental company.

Not far from Drottningholm Palace, at the bridge abutment to Nockebybron on Kärsön in Bromma, is the old and beautiful Brostugan, which’s been a café and restaurant since 1932. It’s a perfect place for a day trip with your family or friends. In addition to lunch and dinner (and ice cream), there’s a wide range of activities to enjoy, including kayak rental.

Here, you can rent both single and double kayaks and embark on a wonderful trip to explore the beautiful surroundings (don’t miss seeing the magnificent Drottningholm from the water). In addition, Brostugan offers Canadians (two-seater or three-seater), SUP boards, pedal boats, and rowing boats for rent. And if you’re looking for more activities after paddling, there’s also an 18-hole mini-golf course in scenic surroundings.

Söderkajak is another popular alternative for renting a kayak in Stockholm. They offer kayak rental (and SUP) in a top location – lovely Vinterviken in southern Stockholm. A perfect starting point for kayaking, whether you’re in the mood for the city center or nature. Nearby there are plenty of islands and canals to paddle through, and the routes are filled with scenic picnic areas and bathing places where you can take a nice break. Drottningholm, Långholmen, The City Hall, Karlbergskanalen, Hornsbergstrand, Tantolunden, Stora och Lilla Essingen, and Nockebybadet are examples of places you can easily reach from Vinterviken.

At Söderkajak, you can rent several different types of sea kayaks. There are single kayaks if you want to paddle yourself, tandem kayaks for paddling with a friend, or triple kayaks if you’re a trio. There are also family kayaks if you wish to share the water experience with your children – extra stable, plenty of luggage space, and bathing friendly. Söderkajak also offers corporate paddling, a perfect activity for team building, and group paddling for bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, birthdays, etc. In addition to kayak rental, there are many other things to do in Vinterviken – restaurant, garden café, picnic areas, padel courts, tennis courts, and swimming area.

At Brunnsvikens kanotklubb, you can rent single kayaks, tandem kayaks, and Canadians (canoes with three seats). The price includes a life jacket, paddle, and cockpit cover. If there’s time, the staff can give you a shorter instruction, and there are also try-out courses. You need to be at least four people or rent a kayak for more than a day to book in advance. Otherwise, it’s a drop-in policy for available kayaks.

Rent any period you wish, from a few hours to several days, if you want to go on a real kayak adventure. The kayaks are stable, of the highest quality, and fit all paddlers regardless of skill level. Life jacket, paddle, and cockpit cover are included. You can also rent SUP here.

To make your experience as good as possible, the experienced staff is happy to help with advice and tips on tours and techniques. Kajakkompaniet also offers guided kayak tours. To get started, join the beginner-friendly try-out course where you paddle to the canal Karlbergskanalen and back. Or for the more experienced – around Kungsholmen or a day trip to Drottningholm.
