What to Expect at Crazy Sister Marina
Crazy Sister Marina sits right on the MarshWalk, which makes it the most convenient place on the inlet to get on the water — you can park once, rent a kayak, and walk to dinner afterward. Kayak rentals start at $25 an hour in single or tandem boats, with two-hour rentals as the standard block. The marina opens daily at 6am, so an early launch on a rising tide is easy to arrange.
The kayak side is only part of the operation. The same marina runs guided kayak tours, specialty cruises and tours, jet ski and skiff rentals, pontoon boats, and fishing charters, so it’s the natural pick for a group with mixed interests: some people paddle, others take a boat tour, and everyone meets back at the boardwalk. The water directly off the marina is the busiest stretch of the inlet — see our safety guide for how to handle boat traffic near the MarshWalk, and head for the quieter marsh creeks once you’re clear of the channel.
Crazy Sister Marina FAQs
Is Crazy Sister Marina within walking distance of the MarshWalk restaurants?
Yes — the marina is on the MarshWalk itself, so the boardwalk’s restaurants and bars are a short walk from the dock. Confirm current hours and parking directly with the marina.
What does a kayak rental cost at Crazy Sister Marina?
Rentals start at $25 per hour per the marina’s listed pricing, with two-hour rentals as the standard block. Rates can change seasonally — confirm when booking.
Do I need a reservation?
Walk-up kayak rentals are common, but guided tours, cruises, and charters fill up on summer weekends — call ahead for those.
Is this a good launch point for beginners?
The marina makes launching easy, but the channel in front of the MarshWalk carries real boat traffic. Beginners should paddle toward the sheltered marsh creeks and stay near the marsh edge — see our beginner launch guide.
