The Sea Isle City Recreation Office has changed the process for distributing kayak storage berths at Dealy Field.
Instead of a random lottery, as in the past, this year the 112 kayak berths will be distributed on a “first come, first served” basis.
To obtain a 2025 kayak berth, property owners and year-round residents can sign up on the Recreation Office’s “Rec Desk” web page. There, they must submit a digital photo of their tax bill and submit payment of a $75 rental fee for the use of a berth.
Year-round residents who are not property owners are asked to contact the Recreation Office at 609-263-0050 prior to March 1 for alternate instructions.
The distribution of 2025 kayak berths will begin on Saturday, March 1, at 9 a.m. At that time, the Recreation Office’s Rec Desk “Kayak Rack” page will be activated. Use this link to access Sea Isle’s Rec Desk page: https://seaislerec.recdesk.com/.
The Kayak Rack page will stay active on Rec Desk until all 112 berths are assigned and a 50-person numerical waiting list is created. The waiting list (which will also be on a first come, first served basis) will be used in the event a kayak berth unexpectedly becomes available during the summer season.
Those without a Rec Desk account are encouraged to create an account prior to March 1 to be prepared when the registration process begins. If you need assistance while creating a Rec Desk account, call the Recreation Office during normal business hours at 609-263-0050. No fee is required to create a Rec Desk account.
The digital photo of your tax bill and the $75 rental fee (paid by credit card) must be submitted simultaneously via Rec Desk to secure a kayak berth for the 2025 season. Once the $75 rental fee is submitted, no refunds will be issued. Also, no one can “reserve” a berth with the intention of paying for it later.
Only Sea Isle City property owners and year-round residents are eligible to rent a kayak berth at Dealy Field. Only one berth will be awarded per household.
Each kayak that is stored at the Dealy Field kayak racks is required to have a numbered kayak ID tag, which corresponds with the number of that kayak’s berth.
ID tags will be distributed (in-person only) at the Dealy Field Recreation Office starting May 1. Information about obtaining a kayak ID tag will be emailed to each person who secures a 2025 berth.
