Manukau Canoe Club has a great selection of gear available for members to hire. Club members benefit from discounted gear hire rates - only $10 per day of paddling when taking boats out of the clubrooms, or a gold-coin donation if paddling from the clubrooms.
We have whitewater playboats and creekers, sea kayaks, sit-on-tops, and racing boats. We have paddles (sea and whitewater), spray-decks, helmets, PFDs (buoyancy aids), splash jackets, personal locator beacon (PLB), and a club trailer.
Please take care of the gear as if it was your own, and rinse the boats and gear down with fresh water before returning it to the clubrooms. Any significant damage beyond the usual minor scrape or maintenance must be notified to manaukaucanoeclub@gmail.com. This also helps us with offering gear to our members which is safe to use. Remember to check, clean, and dry whenever you move between waterways to help protect our beautiful rivers from didymo and other aquatic pests.
There is a minimum of 24 hours notice to equipment officers to arrange hireage of boats and/or other gear.
$10 per day of paddling when taking boats out of the clubrooms, including gear if required.
A gold-coin donation if paddling from the clubrooms regardless of type of boat whether whitewater or sea kayak, short or long, including gear if required. Paddling from the clubrooms is possible a couple of hours either side of high tide.
$20 for non-members, first time intro’s $10.
$25 per boat for commercial hireage of club boats.
$30 clubroom storage (per boat per annum, same price for additional boats)
