Sebago Trails Paddling

Made our vacation! We rented a two person kayak for 4 days while vacationing on Sebago Lake. Their pickup and delivery service was well worth the money! The cottage we were staying at had SEVERAL stairs to the water and Bill (what a trooper) dropped the kayak right on the beach. Cannot speak more highly of Bill and the team at Sebago Trails Paddling Co.

Looking for something cool to do besides eating or going to the movies? This was a fantastic time! It was recommended to try Dundee Pond so I booked an excursion for my husband and me. We met at the shop and got outfitted for our trip. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went a short distance to Dundee drop off point. We were briefed on getting in and out of our kyaks. We were off exploring. It was a beautiful day and I felt very relaxed and interested in looking at things from a different perspective. We saw ducks, a beaver and some fish. We picnicked on and island and had a great time. 10:30−1pm was perfect for a day getaway. Highly recommend this as something magical, relaxing and different to do.

My boyfriend and I recently camped at Sebago Lake State Park and we were struggling with how to rent a canoe until we found Sebago Trails Paddling Co online and loved the fact that they would drop the canoe off to us at our camp site. What a great business model! However, the fact that they have EXCELLENT customer service sealed the deal for us and we’ll definitely be using them again. They went far above and beyond when they rescued us from a public boat launch off the Songo River because the Lake had gotten WAY too choppy for us to paddle back through to the campsite. They saved the day for us, we were feeling awful defeated and there was no hesitation or judgment on their part! They picked us right up and took us and the canoe back to our site.
I highly recommend this company. Bill and his daughter Kate are excellent people who clearly love what they do!

What a great company! Brandon went above and beyond helping us. The staff is so friendly and awesome! We are thankful to him for delivering one kayak and helped us unload and reload our kayaks onto our car which was a huge bonus. And he gave us tips that were very helpful

I found this company in the same manner as the previous reviewer, through their website. It was easy to use, and clearly stated all costs. Bill, the proprietor, was friendly and gave great instructions to a crew of novice kayakers. I don’t think they have been in business very long yet but a customer focused and easy to do business with service provider like this deserves to thrive. We enjoyed our day on the lake thoroughly. I recommend Sebago Trails Paddling Co without reservation.

My parents and I decided to go kayaking on a whim during the 4^th of July weekend. We picked Sebago Trails because their website was easy to use on a mobile phone and their prices were clearly stated on the website. I called on Saturday and reserved kayaks for Sunday at 10:00. We reserved a double kayaks for my mother and I and a sit-​a-​top for my father. I told them we were coming from Portland and had no idea where in the lake to go. They said they would drive us to a spot to put in for a delivery charge of $ 15.00. Since we didn’t know the area or have a rack, that was perfect for us.
On Sunday morning, we were super tired, so we called to say we wouldn’t be there till 11. They said no problem! When we got there, we signed some paperwork and paid up. We paid $ 60.00 for the double and $ 45.00 for the sit-​a-​top. We also paid $ 15.00 for delivery, totaling $ 120.00. Prices were accurately reflected on the website.
They showed us a map of the lake, and described where they would recommend we go — a spot that gives access to Jordan pond and to a river towards Panther Pond. The rental included paddles and lifejackets. They had really adjustable lifejackets, so they had something for all of us, regardless of our size. The lifejackets were specially made for kayaks and were really comfy.
Our kayaks were set up on a trailer when we got there. After we paid up, selected our life jackets, and figured out where we were going, we hopped in the car and followed the trailer to the spot to put in. We are a little experienced, but not experts, so the Sebago Trails guy explained a little about our particular kayaks, helped us put them in the water, and held the kayaks while we got in. He advised when he would be back in the area for other kayakers, but encouraged us not to feel like we had to be back at that time — they would fetch the kayaks whenever we called them. We asked what end of day would be, and he suggested 5:30 but said that was a soft time and they were very flexible.
Our kayaks were great. The staff and owner were very friendly and they were eager for us to have a good time. We had a terrific day, and $ 120.00 for entertainment for 3 people for a full day is totally reasonable. I look forward to renting with them again and have already recommended them to friends. I hope their business goes well.
