Our Boats and Floats
Lazy Otter is proud to offer a great fleet of kayaks from Swannanoa-based Feelfree - giving you more boats and more variety to choose from!
​
For any of our trips you can choose from two different sizes of solo kayaks plus tandem kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards so you can float the French Broad your way!
The Nomad is an easy-going solo kayak good for most paddlers.

For the paddle board fans, the Nalu hybrid
​
The hybrid design of the Nalu gives you a choice - stand up to get the full paddle-boarding experience, or sit down and attach the extra fin to the paddle to keep going as a kayak! In either case this is a good, stable board for river touring. However, it is available only to those with some experience and comfort on a SUP who are over the age of 18. Weight limit 275 pounds.
