KAYAK STATEN ISLAND PROGRAM
Kayak Staten Island is an all-volunteer organization. They provide free kayaking for the public at the shoreline on South Beach in Staten Island.

They provide the use of sit-on-top kayaks, life-jackets and paddles. They offer paddling tips and launch/land assistance. Experienced kayakers are in the water for further assistance.
Once a participant signs a waiver (required) and is fitted with a life jacket they may paddle out into an embayment area marked by buoys.
