Frisky Otter Tours

As the result of an insanely busy and incredibly challenging season, Frisky Otter Tours will be closing for rentals as of the end of the day on October 4th so that I can spend some time restoring my own health and serenity by enjoying the beautiful Adirondacks with my two best (canine) buds. The shop closing process is a time-consuming and rigorous task, so purchases may still be made by appointment and pre-season orders can also be made by phone through-out the winter season. Thanks to all of you who were courteous, kind, and respected our Covid-19 protocols. We hope that you all stay safe, healthy, and can continue to find the healing powers of nature throughout the seasons during this difficult time.

Since 2007, Frisky Otter Tours has strived to help our customers, whether it be rental or tours or insruction or sales, to have the best experience possible in their paddlesports needs. This year has been a challenge in that we are not offering instruction, tours or even shuttles due to Covid-19, only rentals and sales. Both have been through the roof and rentals have been particularly so due to the lack of offering elsewhere this year. We are trying to keep up with the 400% ...increase in demand and appreciate eveyone's patience, AND we still have to do our very best to keep all of our customers, our community and our staff safe. As most of Inlet's businesses do, we REQUIRE that a mask be worn on premises and during the process of rentals or sales so that we can keep ALL of our patrons and this amazing community SAFE and HEALTHY! We have recently had some disagreement, specifically around our mask requirements, and believe that our strict adherence to these requirements is of the utmost importance to the continued health and safety of all those we serve. We request that caring, respect, and adherence to that goal be embraced by all who do business with us during this challenging time. Thank you and stay safe, healthy, and hope you get to enjoy the special gift that paddling can offer during this stressful time! See more

As we enter Phase 4 at the start of the summer season, we want to welcome our customers and friends, while exercising the utmost in precaution as we ultimately want to protect ALL of our customers, our community, ourselves and our business. We ask that you make an appointment or reservation for boat purchases or rentals and REQUIRE that you wear a mask and utilize social distancing from others while you are on the grounds. The supply chain has definitely been affected by this... pandemic and will continue to be so well into the fall and beyond, so we ask for your patience in addressing this aspect and will do the best we can to accommodate your needs. At this time, we will not be offering tours or shuttle service, only sales and rentals. Please be safe, respectful of others and our precious Adirondacks, and we can hopefully all get through this together. See more
