Trip Planning - Outfitters
Here’s how you can get on the river! The outfitters and organizations listed here can help you kayak, boat or sail on the river by selling/renting equipment, providing training, or guiding trips on the water. We’ve also listed motor boat charters for those who want to kick back and relax while enjoying the river.
Note: Some of the outfitters below currently do not have regular service for the Delaware River but may be able to provide you or your group with service upon request. These outfitters/organizations are also opportunities to get paddling training and experience on smaller rivers.
