Why Choose Silver Moon Kayak Company?
Because we are so much more than a kayak store!

SERVICE: Our customers are our most valuable asset so we'll go out of our way to provide the one-on-one service you deserve. We also offer convenient nearby water access so customers can try before they buy to be certain they are choosing the right boat and gear. Great parking, too!

SELECTION: We are NW Montana's biggest little boat shop! Our retail shop houses a HUGE inventory of kayaks, (including touring kayaks, recreational kayaks, whitewater kayaks, inflatables, folding and sit-on-tops) canoes, and all related accessories. If we don't have it, we can probably get it for you!

KNOWLEDGE: Paddling — it's what we do... Paddling is our passion.
We live, eat and breathe paddling. Pure and simple. It truly is what we do. Year 'round. 24/7. We don't disappear and we don't put our inventory away in the 'off-season'.

SWEET THINGS our customers say...

"Living in Atlanta but loving the waters of the Northwest, I drove west for the 3 months of summer. I researched touring kayaks and landed on the Eddyline brand. I called the dealers that were somewhere on my driving route. Spokane would have been the most convenient dealer for me but my experience with them on the phone was not convincing. Some dealer's didn't even exist anymore. First good experience was when I called Silver Moon after hours and you returned the call when you weren't open. Bob guided me through my questions to the right boat. After driving across the country I then travelled about 3 hours out of my way to your store but it couldn't have been a better choice for me. You delivered for this customer. I loved all the time in my kayak this summer and will come back to you for my next purchase no matter where I might be in the country. Thanks."

Jim Kane, Atlanta, Georgia
 

"My boat arrived around 10:00 am today, in good shape. The condition was as you described it. It traveled just over 2000 miles. I would also like to thank you at this time for all of your efforts in making the transaction go so smoothly. I appreciate your help in arranging the shipping, the care in packaging, and what I believe was a very fair price. I would buy from you again without reservations and recommend you to anyone. Thanks for everything."

Ray Cornwell, Wayne, West Virginia

“When you walk into Silver Moon, it's not like you're walking into a business, rather a very comfortable, warm, and cozy home; it's not like you're meeting business people, it's like you're meeting friends that truly care about you. My brother took me to Silver Moon Kayak Company on my birthday and I have a very fond picture in my mind complete with an improvised birthday cake, a party hat, and the whole crew singing Happy Birthday to me. I have not had that pleasure from other businesses. I find it difficult to leave their shop and enjoy visiting with them very much. I look forward to taking classes with them and going on outings very soon. Being new to kayaking, I know I've made the right choice and I consider myself lucky to know them. Like I said before, it's not like a business, it's a friendship. One that I will value for a lifetime. Being retired military, there are certain people you entrust your life to. That all said, their shop offers a very wide variety of kayak equipment that rivals large water sport vendors. If you don't see it, they can still get it for you with a very swift phone order. If it's the wrong size, not to worry, they'll work it all out for you. 'Above and beyond' is a good phrase to describe their order of business. All that and a friendship too? I look forward to paddling around with you this summer! .... and yes, I've taken my mother to meet them too.”

Ken Salois, Great Falls, Montana

“I joined Silver Moon Kayak Company on a 5 day saltwater adventure in British Columbia in September 2007. It was an exciting adventure, very memorable and invigorating. It was obvious to me that Silver Moon had previously and thoroughly checked everything out with an emphasis on safety - especially important to me since I am a beginning kayaker! The opportunity was there to learn and push myself and experience the thrill of being out where I would not be comfortable going alone. The food was super and it was great to be part of such a fun-loving crew.”

Ann Jeremiassen, Olney, Montana

“All I can say is that when you live in the Middle-of-Nowhere Montana, Silver Moon Kayak Company is the shining light for all boaters within a hundred miles of the Flathead. Anytime you come across one of their groups, whether big or small, you see people of different abilities learning new skills and having a great time in their boats. Their great selection of gear (in the middle of a wheatfield!), their experience and professionalism and their dedication to the sport, have earned them the big, shining star. Thanks, guys, for helping the rest of us enjoy the sport.”

James Morgan Bowen, JD, Whitefish, Montana


“I have been traveling out to Montana to kayak with the great folks at Silver Moon Kayak Company for several years now. I have done both day trips and longer multi-day trips with them. And, I can attest to their organization and their attention to detail. They make sure their clients are comfortable, educated, and pampered. They will fill you with the most delicious food after a great day paddling. And, their employees go above and beyond adding to the safety and enjoyment of any of their trips!!! I'd recommend their paddling adventures in a heartbeat!!!”
