A Difficult Goodbye to Go Paddle AZ....
It is with great sadness we must announce that Go Paddle AZ will be closing at the end of August 2026.
Unfortunately, Pleasant Harbor Marina/Maricopa Water District chose not to renew the remainder of our contract, even though we have never been in violation of our contract and have a perfect safety record. We had every intention of continuing to operate for years to come.
Over the past 15 seasons, we had the honor and privilege of serving more than 107,000 guests and maintaining an average 4.9-star ratingβconsistently and organically. Those numbers represent so much more than statistics. They represent families, friends, visitors, celebrations, adventures, and countless memories made on the water.
Thank you everyone who visited us, supported us, shared our business with others, left a review or spent time with us on the water. We are truly grateful for the memories, friendships, and support you have given Go Paddle AZ. Thank you for 15 incredible seasons. It has been an honor to be a part of this community. We couldnβt have done it without you.
