"Ecomarine began in 1980 with the goal of making a positive difference in peoples’ lives through ocean kayaking. Through our retail, lessons and rentals we have achieved this goal thousands of times. We are proud to offer the best products available for ocean kayaking and standup paddleboarding (SUP) at our Granville Island store. We have taught over 30,000 people through our programs and exposed more than twice that number to kayaking and SUPing through our rentals. We operate from one full time location on Granville Island and two other seasonal locations at the Jericho Sailing Center and the English Bay Bath House." (from the business)
