Dockside Kayak Rentals

Dockside Kayak Rentals

Dockside Kayak Rentals is based at the Digby Waterfront Fundy Complex, launching single and double kayaks for paddles on the Annapolis Basin and the Bay of Fundy. The operation launches directly from a floating dock, making it easy to get on the water without transport logistics. Paddlers can explore the Digby scallop fleet at anchor, work their way along the shoreline, or cross the basin for views of the Digby Gut and the open Fundy waters.

Kayak rentals are currently paused. The operator has announced a relaunch for June 2026, so check fundyrestaurant.com or call ahead before planning a paddle around Digby. When rentals are running, all safety gear (life jackets, paddles, and safety kits) is provided, a waiver form is required before launching, and beginners are welcome. The calm, protected waters of the Annapolis Basin make this a particularly good family activity, and the location at the Fundy Complex means you can combine a paddle with lunch or dinner at the on-site restaurant. While kayaks are paused, the complex's Scallop Experience, a separate on-the-water tour of the Digby scallop fleet, is the priced activity on offer at $65/head + HST.
