Host a Station

Host a Station

Turn waterfront access into a controlled rental experience.

This page speaks to venues, marinas, hotels, cities and local operators that want more paddling access without building a full rental desk.

Host value beyond a locker

New access layer

Make paddling easier to reserve, use and return near the water.

Operational discipline

Operator, Captain and HQ workflows give the station more structure than a simple equipment shed.

Visitor confidence

Localized station pages reduce uncertainty before a paddler arrives at the property.

Host and operator economics

Passive model

Simple Host

Provide the right waterfront space and earn a passive share while PaddlePoint manages the station system.

10-15%

Active model

Licensee / Operator

Own and operate the station with deeper responsibility and a larger revenue share.

70-80%

Aligned incentives

Monthly franchise fee

The model is designed around transaction participation instead of a fixed monthly franchise fee.

0 CAD

Station kit logic

The station kit scales to the waterfront instead of forcing every site into one inventory shape.

Capacity

SUP-forward station

A larger paddleboard mix can support beach-day and repeat-paddler demand where launch access is simple.

Up to 16 SUPs

Capacity

Kayak-forward station

Kayak-heavy sites can use fewer larger assets while keeping the same booking and support standard.

Up to 8 kayaks

Flexible

Mixed station

Most sites can start with a local mix based on access, storage, water conditions and expected paddler type.

Local fit

Location readiness conversation

A strong station starts with the realities of the site: water access, permissions, parking, walking path, station placement, weather ownership and support.

  • Safe water access, permissions and local constraints.
  • Parking, walk path, station placement and launch point.
  • Inventory, maintenance, support and weather authority owner.
  • Insurance, waiver, payment and escalation responsibilities.
