When I hurt my foot and we couldn't hike for a while, we went in search of a place to kayak. Since we don't have our own, this is a bit of a challenge in Charlotte. It's especially challenging before Memorial Day. Luckily, we were able to find this place. I can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't cheap from what I remember and I think it was a 2 hour minimum. Pricing aside, we had a good time. The Catawba River isn't the most scenic place to kayak, but there are some nice branches off it it where you can spot lots of turtles. The employee that helped us was very friendly and gave us some pointers on the best areas to explore.If you want to kayak close to Charlotte, check them out!

A couple weeks ago some friends and I rented a couple kayaks and paddle boards from Michael at Riverside marina. Not only was he incredibly helpful with tips for us first timers (we got on the paddle boards upside down at first lol), but we had a great time on the water and cant wait to come back to rent a pontoon.

Had a great experience renting kayaks. They were able to accommodate payment through cash app, which got some bonus points. They were very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again.

We decided to kayak and paddleboard last-minute and didn't want to deal with the Lake Norman traffic so we decided to try the My Aloha new location. Great decision!It's located at the Riverside Marina in Belmont, across from Muddy River distillery. Small spot but really mellow and easy to get to and depart from. Brian was very gracious and quickly got us geared up and ready for the water. We have a paddleboard so he helped us get that one ready and was great making sure our daughter had the right gear.The river was very relaxing and pretty - easy to navigate and plenty of islands to explore. Overall this is a great option if you want to spend time on the water and relax.

My wife and I recently came here to do some paddleboarding. The website was very easy to use. You can make an appointment for many types of rentals. We even called and texted the owners and they were very friendly and helped make sure we were good to go. The river was calm and quiet. The paddleboards were in great shape and handled well. They even had a nice shaded area with chairs if you wanted to relax afterwards. The company has some great deals for yearly rentals, so make sure you ask about that if you wanted to make this a habit!

Me and 5 of my friends had the BEST time paddleboarding here! The owners and staff were so friendly and communicative throughout the entire process from making reservations all the way through the end (they even offered us COLD water afterwards which was just *mwah* the cherry on top). It's such a cute place to paddleboard, we've already talked about coming back once we're in the area again :)
