You can choose between two prime locations for kayak and SUP rentals in Stockholm:

  • Pampas Marina: Situated just outside the city center on the island of Solna, it offers a peaceful and scenic starting point for paddlers wanting to explore Stockholm's natural beauty, islands, and serene waterways.

  • Eden (Kungsholmen): Located on the vibrant island of Kungsholmen, this station is perfect for those looking to start their paddle adventure right from the heart of Stockholm. Whether you're a city explorer or nature lover, this location provides an excellent launch point.

 

Both kayak rental stations are easily accessible by public transport:

  • Pampas Marina (Solna): Take the Pendeltåg (commuter train) to Solna Station or the Tvärbanan light rail to Solna. From there, it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the marina.

  • Eden (Kungsholmen): Take the Tunnelbana (metro) to Fridhemsplan station, then it’s a short 5-minute walk to the rental station. Alternatively, buses stopping at Västerbroplan or Fridhemsgatan will also get you close.

A wide range of rental options are offered at both locations:

  • Single Sea-Kayak (K1)
  • Tandem Sea-Kayak (K2)
  • Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP)
    For a better paddling experience, it is recommended to choose a double kayak whenever possible, as they are faster and more stable, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

 

Every kayak rental and SUP rental come with everything needed for a safe and enjoyable water experience:

  • A well-maintained kayak or SUP
  • A life jacket (mandatory)
  • A paddle
    Additionally, splash covers for kayaks and waterproof bags are available on request for storing personal items like phones or cameras while on the water.

  • Clothing: Wear clothes suited to the weather and expect to get wet. In summer, bring a hat and sunscreen. In cooler weather, dressing in layers is a good idea.
  • Hat and sunglasses for sun protection
  • Sunscreen and a drinking water bottle
  • Change of clothes in case you get wet

Yes, flexible kayak rental periods are available, whether for a short 2-hour paddle, a full-day adventure, or a multi-day rental. Weekly rentals are also available for those seeking extended paddling experiences. If you’re considering an overnight kayaking trip, it’s best to start from Pampas Marina (Solna), as more suitable kayaks for longer trips are available there.

We’ve partnered with LekMer, a trusted rental service provider, to offer a high-quality kayak rental and SUP rental experience. All bookings and payments are handled through their efficient system.
