What to Expect at Express Watersports
Express Watersports is a Myrtle Beach-based outfitter with more than 28 years in the watersports business, and its kayak program is the budget-friendly end of the local market: rentals start at $15 an hour, with hourly or half-day rates, and no reservation is required for a standard rental — you can show up and go. The day starts at 8am, and the sunrise guided kayak tours are the standout for paddlers who want someone else to handle the route and timing.
Kayaks and paddleboards share the lineup with sailing, parasailing, pontoon boats, jet skis, banana boat rides, and scuba classes, plus dedicated Murrells Inlet tours, so it’s a one-stop shop for a group that wants more than paddling. Because Express is based in Myrtle Beach rather than on the inlet itself, it’s the natural choice if you’re staying up the Grand Strand and want to add a paddle to the trip — see Murrells Inlet vs. Myrtle Beach Kayaking for how the two areas compare, and our cost guide for how hourly rates stack up across operators.
