Gig Harbor Fly Shop is a fly fishing retailer and outfitter in downtown Gig Harbor, Washington, offering gear sales, fly fishing instruction, guided trips, and hosted international fishing travel to destinations like Cuba, Belize, and Christmas Island. Beyond fly fishing, the shop’s kayak and watersports rental side has grown into its own dedicated operation, branded Gig Harbor Watersports, based at the same Harborview Drive location.

Gig Harbor Watersports rents Hobie pedal-drive kayaks, inflatable pedal kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, giving visitors an easy way to explore Gig Harbor’s protected, scenic waters. Kayaks and SUPs are available in 2, 4, and 24-hour rental blocks, and the business is the only rental operator in the harbor requiring (and offering) advance reservations, ensuring gear is ready and waiting rather than first-come, first-served. Guided kayak tours are also available, with a fleet of top-of-the-line Hobie pedal kayaks that can be customized for groups up to twelve, exploring the Sound’s wildlife, including porpoises, seals, sea lions, eagles, and salmon.

Back on the fly fishing side, the shop’s guides know the surrounding waters intimately, from Puget Sound saltwater beaches to the rivers of the Olympic Peninsula and inland lakes, offering trips for trout, salmon, and steelhead. The shop carries top brands including Hobie, Bote, Kokatat, and Patagonia, and runs a gear trade-in program for anglers looking to upgrade old rods, reels, or waders.

Rental pricing starts at $30 for a 2-hour single kayak or SUP rental, with the Hobie iTrek 11 inflatable pedal-drive kayak running $125 for a full day, including a life vest, power fins, and pump.

For anyone in the Gig Harbor area looking to fly fish, rent a kayak or paddleboard, or book a guided watersports tour, Gig Harbor Fly Shop and its Gig Harbor Watersports rental arm offer a well-rounded, locally rooted outfitter right on the harbor.
