Shipping Kayaks & Canoes

Shipping a kayak or canoe is likely a new experience for many folks. While it may seem complicated, we’ve put together the following tips to help you through the process. If you have any questions, please contact us at any point in your order.

What do I need to know about shipping a canoe or kayak?

• Our kayaks and canoes are shipped using LTL (less than truckload) freight carriers. We do not ship kayaks through UPS or FedEx, and we cannot ship to PO boxes.
• The carrier needs a phone number to schedule a delivery time. Please include a current phone number with your order. You will need to be there in person when the truck arrives. Boats are not delivered on weekends.
• Delivery is to the curb. The driver will unload your order from the truck, but may not assist with moving the item into a garage or driveway.

IMPORTANT: Inspect your order thoroughly for shipping damage before signing a delivery receipt from the driver.  

If your item packaging does not show signs of damage: Please sign the delivery receipt and keep a copy for your records. The item should be unwrapped and inspected within 48 hours of receipt. In the unlikely event you find concealed damage, please refer to your copy of the delivery receipt and contact the appropriate carrier to schedule a time for them to come and inspect the unit. Please keep all packaging and do not attempt to repair or conceal the damage to the boat.

If your watercraft’s packaging shows visible signs of damage: Please unwrap the boat at that time to inspect for further damage to the boat itself. In the unlikely event that you find damage and are unwilling to accept it, you should not sign the delivery receipt, refuse the shipment due to damage, and contact the fulfiller as noted on the Bill of Lading or packing slip.

Shipping Accessories

We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Internationally. Please check our Dealer Locator to find a shop near you.

All accessory orders must have a physical shipping address and contact number for delivery. Ocean Bay Boats uses FedEx and therefore we are unable to deliver to P.O. Boxes.

Once your accessory order has shipped, you will receive an email confirmation that will include the FedEx tracking number for your package.

If you decide to refuse a shipment, you are responsible for both the original shipping cost incurred and the cost of returning the package to us. We will subtract this amount from your merchandise refund.
