Enjoy a flexible and fun franchise and run your own automated paddlesport rental business with high profit potential
Become part of the world’s largest and fastest growing paddlesport rental company and open your own self-service rental business with our proven franchise-lite concept
With our revolutionary self-service rental stations for kayak and stand-up paddleboard, KAYAKOMAT spreads the joy and wellness of paddling worldwide. Our proven, franchise-lite model is trusted by close to 300 entrepreneurs across 12 countries, each running their own KAYAKOMAT rental station.
We provide everything you need: your rental station, top-quality rental equipment, a seamless booking system, your own website, and a dedicated support team with expertise in customer service, technology, and marketing.
Our automated self-service rental solution requires minimal maintenance and administration, making it the ideal side business. Many of our operators become profitable already in Year 1, with most seeing consistent revenue growth after the first season.
Our operators come from diverse backgrounds! While many love the outdoors, paddling experience isn’t needed. Some run other businesses, while others are first-time entrepreneurs. They may manage one or multiple rental stations, often close to home. It can also help attract customers to your existing business, like a kiosk, mini-golf, hotel, or campsite.
Maintenance: Keep you station clean. Your customers are required to return the equipment in good condition, but occasional revamps are needed.
Local Marketing: Promote your station. Connect with hotels, tourist offices, and businesses to boost your bookings.
Customer Service: Most customers you'll never even notice, but when someone needs help, your number is there to call. Issues are rare and most situations can easily be resolved remotely.
KAYAKOMAT uses the latest smart lock technology to provide a seamless, self-service rental experience. Customers book online, choosing their preferred KAYAKOMAT location, equipment, and time for their paddle adventure. They receive a unique code to unlock their gear at the station and, after paddling, simply return and lock everything back up. A life vest is included with each kayak or paddleboard, and safety instructions are clearly displayed at the station.
