Kayak Quincy offering self-checkout rentals on Quincy riverfront

QUINCY — Kayak Quincy has launched self-checkout kayak rentals on the Quincy Riverfront.

SeeQuincy has partnered with the Quincy Park District and the City of Quincy to bring a new kayak rental program to the Quincy community and its visitors. Kayak Quincy is the only program of its kind in the Quincy area and offers nature enthusiasts a way to experience the wonders of the Mississippi River and Quincy Bay.

Four kayaks are available through a self-checkout system in Kesler Park, 800 Bonansinga Drive. The kayaks are offered from sunup to sundown for $25 for the first two hours and $15/hour after that. Kesler Park is a popular fishing spot featuring a boat launch area, shelter house with electricity, picnic tables, playground equipment and restrooms.

The self-checkout system is easy with a downloadable app via Rent.Fun. Paddles and U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided. You must be 18 years of age or older to check out.

In a press release, Holly Cain, executive director of SeeQuincy, said, “We’re excited to offer a way to get out on the water and explore Quincy Bay at their own pace. It opens up an entirely new avenue to experience our portion of the Mississippi.”
