On the Outer Banks, there are lots of activities to enjoy that range from watersports, cruising around the area and just enjoying the beach life. You might want to partake in all of these activities but wonder how could you paddle around in the sound, for example, without a kayak. There’s a simple solution to this quandary, and it’s Outer Banks equipment rental stores. Surf companies throughout the Outer Banks don’t just sell all of their gear – many offer rental deals where you can find paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, skimboards, wetsuits, fishing gear, life jackets and other watersport supplies. If you’re considering buying any of this equipment, rentals are a great way to test different models and designs to find what works best before you make the purchase. Other Outer Banks equipment rental stores offer bikes, motorcycles or golf carts for a different way to get around that enhances your Outer Banks experience. Check out the listings of Outer Banks equipment rental stores below to discover what to rent and where.

Located in the heart of Ocracoke Village along Silver Lake Harbor, Ocracoke Island Golf Carts provides the perfect way to get the most out of your stay on the island. They are celebrating their 12th season and offering a new fleet of four-passenger and six-passenger golf carts. Rentals are available hourly, overnight or weekly. Walk-in rentals are welcome, but advance reservations for overnight and weekly rentals are always the better choice in the summer season. Their carts are equipped with headlights and safety belts, and they also provide child safety seats if needed. Cart delivery and pick-up are provided with weekly rentals at most locations on the island. Park your car, slow your roll and enjoy exploring historic Ocracoke Village in one of their convenient and reliable electric golf carts. (Remember: Golf carts are for use in the Village only, not on the highway or the beach.) Check out their updated website, call or stop by and visit their rental office across from the Anchorage Inn and near the NPS parking lot at the south end of the island. This locally owned and operated business makes renting easy and provides excellent customer service. They are open daily at 8 a.m. from March through November.
