I would agree that MBK is a great place. They do not however, have any major requirements for renting of sit-on-top kayaks. They do have requirements for renting the old-fashioned enclosed cockpit type of kayaks. They obviously realize the old-fashioned kayaks are far less safe: more difficult to reenter from the water and susceptible to flooding.
