I never understood why you couldn't book kayaks online.
The world has been able to book a restaurant table online since 1998, a night's stay since 2008, and a ride since 2010.
I firmly believe a kayak trip can be organised in 5 minutes, instead of 3–4 hours of searching, calling, comparing and spreadsheets.

Let's not hide it — kayak rentals vary. Some will not let you cancel. Others will try to empty your pockets. The platform standardises good practice in these ways:
Every booking can be cancelled up to 72 hours before it starts. The weather forecast is usually accurate enough by then to decide in advance.
If the service is poor, email me at rimgaudas@upemis.lt. I will review a justified complaint within 14 working days.
Automatic reminders (email and SMS) will not let you forget the upcoming booking.
The platform has already run 29 successful kayak trips. I would be glad to help organise one for your group too!
