Lots of rental facilities in the Netherlands,
lots of (easy) water too, in some very nice areas.
The 'stock' will be mostly polyethylene I think though.

But, no rental places for sea touring, except perhaps under guidance,
from a kayak school/firm on the island Texel perhaps?
>From my point of view (as someone who has worked for the coast guard
on that waters, but is not a kayaker) paddling on our coastal waters
 can be much too dangerous. You'll have to be pretty dedicated
with all the right skills & gear and preferably with the right group,
to do that safely.
If necessary, contacting via our 'kanomail' mailinglist,
could provide an outcome for that.
