Please note: Reservation time is at the shoreline not the parking lot so please keep that in mind when planning your arrival time. Plan for 15 minutes to park, and walk down from any parking lot to the shoreline as the lake is 175’ below full capacity and all parking lots are above full capacity water line. Customers, please pack out your trash.
Paddle Express volunteers and picks up hundreds of pounds of trash around the lake every season during season, and designates days on end during the off-season to pick up more, so please don’t pick up trash along the way and leave it in the kayak.

Paddle Express is the #1 broad band water based adventure rental company Northern Arizona and Southern Utah has to offer because of a hand picked premium inventory!
Who is Paddle Express? Paddle Express is owned and opperated by retired professional pitcher Sean Tracey. During Sean’s pro career he spent off-seasons exploring the Grand Circle, and also grew up coming to Lake Powell since he was born in 1980. Sharing insights to cyst based on this experience is super fulfilling for Sean and it fills his cup!
After a medical retirement forced Sean to hang up his cleats, he moved from Southern California to Lake Powell to start a new venture. As part of 3 professional championships, Sean has a proven winner approach. Sean spent a few years gaining experience, and knowledge of what customers want vs what’s available in town while he was still exiting his deep roots from Baseball, and gaining more back country experiences. Sean has over 700 nights camping around the Grand Circle with half being at Lake Powell and brings that knowledge to the shore side.
Paddle Express was started as a paddlesport full service delivery only company in the Lake Powell region as the lake was dropping, and it was obviously going to make it more challenging to self haul along with massive challenges for companies to facilitate the overall work delivery was going to take. It was clear, and apparent shore side accommodations were needed and the demand for paddle adventure was increasing.
Seans family has been coming to the Lake since the 60s out of Southern California paddling surfboards, canoes, kayaks, all before SUPs were available. Sean has spent hours, days, and weeks, on the lake, and other lakes on the Colorado River chain. Sean has traveled hundreds of miles exploring the vast area of Lake Powell, Lake Mead, Lake Mojave and Lake Havasu, both on water, and land!
Grace is huge with Sean and he understands how much effort it takes to adventure at Lake Powell, and he wants to reduce your effort, and increase your enjoyment. Sean’s goal is to help you feel like a member of the team, a member of his family, or a member of his fan group. Sean has been around the block as a business owner, a professional baseball player and a mentor and does his best to stay humble and provide the best experience for his customers.
Sean knows when he is getting taken advantage of as an individual operator without employees so if you have that tendency to be an entitled consumer go book with one of the other outfits in town that accommodates a consumer who wants it all for a bargain, and stretches customer responsibilities. If you can respect the American underdog you will be very happy with your experience with Sean, and Paddle Express. If you can’t get a hold of him during non working hours he is spending his time with his daughter. Get the best insight about the history of Lake Powell since 1964 with Paddle Express.
Paddle Express targets .007 of the market and carries novelty inventory like a .007 agent would. Ask about novelty human powered and small motorized vessels available for self haul.
Paddle Express is the leader in electric assisted paddle craft so everyone can participate but inventory is limited!
Paddle Express tries their best when it comes to personal accommodations for those bookings with special needs as the owner has a lower back fusion, and knows what life is like being permanently partially disabled.
Paddle with the Pros at Paddle Express. All reservations are delivered to the shoreline, and picked up unless arrangements are made otherwise. Electric assistance equipment is available for pickup outside of the National Park and by advanced reservation only.
Currently the National Park is going through all necessary steps to make all facilities available, and accommodating for all, including retrofits to all facilities for persons with a disability or limited ability.
Some launch locations can be challenging to access from the last section of cement to the shoreline. Easy and short hiking trails have been created in popular locations like Antelope Point launch ramp for Antelope Canyon adventures.
Paddle Express is the only outfit that rents sit inside kayaks, canoes, or electric assist paddle craft on Lake Powell. Paddle Express offers beginners the option for outriggers (stability boosters) on kayaks, and canoes. Check out our 1 of a kind novelty selection available for you next big adventure at Lake Powell, or on the Colorado River. No day of walk in carry outs, advanced reservation required for self haul.
If you’ve read this far you made it past the filter to eliminate the compulsive last minute consumer from booking with Paddle Express because that behavior is exactly what Paddle Express does not want to serve, congratulations 🎉 Enjoy your day thank you.

Antelope Canyon DIY TOURING
What We Do
Antelope Public Launch Ramp
Paddle Express delivery operations at Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp for the Antelope Canyon DO IT YOURSELF tours: Look for a Paddle Express van or truck located at the bottom of the public launch ramp at Antelope Point. From highway 98 exit n22b and head north towards the Antelope Point Entrance booth. Enter and stay straight around to the left will be the parking lot for the public launch ramp. End of the road n22b. There is not a physical address to put into GPS. Paddle Express will be down at the bottom with your gear on the reservation time. Please be sure to be ready for this half day or full day on the water as launch times are before and after your schedule event so we can launch a squad of DO iT Yourselfers not just a few! Be ready to go! Let’s Go! Last minute bookings are very difficult to accommodate and Paddle Express does the best to squeeze you into the rotation but can’t guarantee to be on time due to trying to do you a favor and get you geared up.
Delivery, and pickup, VIP services
Lake Powell Paddle Express is committed to providing customers with a great experience. The rentals are delivered and picked up at the beach, or launch ramp depending on what and when you book. Customers are responsible for communication at least 45 minutes before pickup indicating they are about to be done with the rentals. Customers are not allowed to abandon their gear and blame it on bad service. Fees will be charged if this happens. During delivery you are also provided directions for your adventures and quick coaching tips on how to paddle like a pro if needed. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. Please do some research first, nothing better than a self sufficient Do It Yourself customer that really just wants something off the trailer ready to go. Asking questions that answers can be found in the website will most likely go unanswered as the affordable and reasonable prices are set to filter out the customers who can’t research for themselves because Paddle Express doesn’t have extra time to be a Google service or someone to lean on for instant answers. Half day prices along with full day prices are the most affordable in town for delivery and pickup. Please don’t take advantage, with expectations of full service transportation to the shore from the trailer and back on the trailer. Full service is available with advanced bookings and a personal request, extra fees do apply. Due to the nature of low water levels it is very difficult to get the paddle sport gear down to the water and back so unforeseen wait times for customers can happen. If you are looking for a lot of front end service please book somewhere else, Paddle Express focuses on the back end when the customer is tired, and extremely worn out from their day on the water. Paddle Express will be an assistant in the return for 20% gratuity fee and any abandoned rentals will be $50 per each rental. Gear is not allowed to be left on the shoreline abandoned or dragged to or from the water. Damage fees of $50 per kayak will be charged if customers are caught dragging gear over rocks, sand, or cement. Paddle Express excels in finishing the day for the customer not starting it. Pay for the extra services or do it yourself. The prices are baseline prices for the DO IT YOURSELF service. Thank you!

Lake Powell Paddle Express is committed to providing customers with options that fit their adventure menu. Delivery, and pickup times to Antelope Point Launch Ramp, and other locations are daily.

Upgrade kayaks
With the lake levels extremely low the main channel is the only way up lake and the Castle Rock cut is high and dry so kayaking to Antelope Canyon from Antelope point can be a challenge. Paddle Express provides outstanding sit inside kayaks as the standard for the rentals but if you want an upgrade to an even faster kayak Paddle Express has a few options. As showcased in the picture the 15’ hybrid canoe kayak made by Nativewatercraft, the Ultimate Fx15. This extremely versatile kayak can be used as a single, or a tandem and has enough stability for single use stand and cast. This kayak is a very popular rental for the houseboat trips because it has a wide variety of utility and a 600 pound capacity. As a single it is the fastest single Paddle Express has available and it is the second fastest tandem Paddle Express has available.

Lone Rock Beach

It might be just what you were thinking about. With that being said it fits perfectly into the rent two days and get the third free so you don’t have to rush to your next adventure. Popular 3 day trips such as Labyrinth Canyon and Warm Creek bay are usually done in one of Paddle Express’ larger upgrade kayaks or canoes.
