Rent.Fun for Self- Service Equipment Kiosks and Kayak Rentals
Background/Recommendation
Kemah is actively developing a 57-acre park and nature facility, aiming to introduce wildlife observation areas,
expanded trails, and recreational facilities to enhance the park’s role as a key destination for nature enthusiasts.
Additionally, the city is creating a visionary parks and open space system plan to serve the community and visitors
for years to come.
Our kayak rental service supports these objectives by:
● Expanding Recreational Access: Providing accessible and affordable kayaking opportunities encourages residents
and visitors to engage with Kemah’s natural waterways.
● Revitalizing Underutilized Spaces: Establishing kayak rental stations in less frequented areas can transform them
into vibrant community hubs.
● Attracting Tourists: Unique recreational amenities like self-service kayak rentals can draw tourists, supporting local
businesses and contributing to economic development.

City Council Members
City of Kemah
1401 State Highway 146
Kemah, TX 77565
Dear Council Members,
I am writing to propose the implementation of Rent.Fun’s fully managed self-service kayak rental
program in Kemah, Texas. Our program is designed to enhance recreational opportunities,
improve quality of life, revitalize underutilized parks, and attract visitors—aligning seamlessly
with Kemah’s strategic goals and ongoing initiatives.
Alignment with Kemah’s Goals and Priorities
Kemah is actively developing a 57-acre park and nature facility, aiming to introduce wildlife
observation areas, expanded trails, and recreational facilities to enhance the park’s role as a
key destination for nature enthusiasts. Additionally, the city is creating a visionary parks and
open space system plan to serve the community and visitors for years to come.
Our kayak rental service supports these objectives by:
● Expanding Recreational Access: Providing accessible and affordable kayaking
opportunities encourages residents and visitors to engage with Kemah’s natural
waterways.
● Revitalizing Underutilized Spaces: Establishing kayak rental stations in less
frequented areas can transform them into vibrant community hubs.
● Attracting Tourists: Unique recreational amenities like self-service kayak rentals can
draw tourists, supporting local businesses and contributing to economic development.
Tailored Program for Kemah
We propose installing our self-service kayak rental stations at strategic waterfront locations
within the new 57-acre park and other suitable areas in Kemah. Our solar-powered,
app-operated kiosks ensure minimal environmental impact and user-friendly access. The
program can be customized to include:
● Educational Signage: Informative displays about local wildlife and ecosystems to
enhance the visitor experience.
● Safety Measures: Life jackets and safety instructions provided at each station to ensure
user safety.
● Community Events: Organized group paddles or eco-tours to foster community
engagement.
Benefits to Kemah
● Promoting Wellness: Outdoor activities like kayaking contribute to physical health and
mental well-being.
● Fostering Community Engagement: Our program encourages residents to explore
local waterways together, strengthening community bonds.
● Economic Growth: Increased park activity can lead to higher foot traffic for nearby
businesses.
Joining a Regional Network
By partnering with Rent.Fun, Kemah will join a network of nearby cities offering our services,
promoting regional tourism and shared economic benefits.
We are eager to collaborate with the City of Kemah to customize a kayak rental program that
reflects the community’s unique character and meets its strategic goals. Thank you for
considering this proposal.
Sincerely,
Chris Rosenberg
Director of Strategic Partnerships, Rent.Fun
Return on Investment
Most Rent.Fun partners want to recoup their investment in full while also offering
affordable rates to the public. Rent.Fun offers a range of rental rates and revenue
share options to meet your objectives. The lower the rates that we offer to the
public, the lower the revenue share percentage for the City, as follows:
Rental Revenue Share / Price to Rent
Our rental charges/rev share:
$25 / 1 hour = 50% rev share to city
$25 / 2 hours = 30% rev share to city
$15 / 1 hour = 30% rev share to city
$9 / 1 hour = 0% rev share to city
Membership Program:
Renters also have the option to join our Membership Program - $99 / year for unlimited kayaking.
We kick back 35% of that fee to the city when a renter purchases a membership, and then again
every year they renew.
