Canoe or Kayak rental on Lake Zurich?

Does any one know of a place where one can rent a canoe/kayak on Lake Zurich (or alternatively, of a boat house that will allow a canoe/kayak to be stored on the lake)?

Re: Canoe or Kayak rental on Lake Zurich?

would you like a proper one or would an inflatable one float your boat (sorry for the pun)?

I think there is a shop near the lakeside square at Stäfa. Never been in though.

I was hoping for a proper one, but then I've never been in an inflatable - so I guess I'm open minded on the issue.

Re: Canoe or Kayak Rental

Looking to rent a non-inflatable canoe or a touring kayak for a possible trip along one of the many great canoe routes available here.

Any ideas? I missed the EF kayak day on Zurichsee, I assume that folks rented boats for that?

Re: Canoe or Kayak rental on Lake Zurich?

Your choice of words gives me the impression you look for a canoe/kayak club at Zürich see, for regular sailing.

If you are more after a day/weekend trip, have a look here http://www.swisstrails.ch/kanuland/kanuland.html

The Rapperswil Jona club is the best club on the Zuri see otherwise try the Wasser Fahrverein club on the Letten
