Kayak FAQs

Are there age restrictions?

Not strictly, but paddlers should have the strength and agility to handle a single kayak. Generally, children 12 and older can paddle on their own board on a calm day. Younger children can ride along, but keep in mind that you may be paddling for two.

Can we bring our own life jackets?

Yes, you may use your life vest as long as it is Coast Guard approved. Please see our staff in the office for life vest approval before heading out on the water.

Can I launch my kayak or SUP here?

Customers of Nor’Banks may launch and park here. Neighbors may launch here, too, but we ask them not to park on-site.

Noncustomer parking is $10 per vehicle and subject to availability. Customers of Nor’Banks and the on-site restaurant, The Village, take precedence. If we are busy or likely to be busy, we can’t facilitate parking for kayak and SUP launching. Please give us a call at 252-261-2900 before you head over.

There is also a public kayak and SUP launch in Duck by the town hall.

Where can I go?

You’ll have plenty of open water to paddle and explore, with a nice stretch of undeveloped coastline just south of our location and the picturesque town of Duck and the beautiful Soundside homes just to the north.

We ask you to stay upwind, close to shore and within about 1.5 miles of our location. We may impose more specific limitations based on weather conditions.

Are adults required to wear life jackets while Kayaking?

Yes, everyone is required to wear a life jacket regardless of age.

Can my child ride on a single kayak with me?

Yes, our larger single kayaks have room for a small child. You can also rent a double kayak if you want to paddle with an older child.

Are dogs allowed on the kayaks and SUP?

Absolutely! But, we ask that you bring your own pet life jacket, as we do not have any available to buy or rent.
