2025 KAYAK STORAGE RACKS AT DEALY FIELD

New Process for Obtaining a Kayak Berth:

The Recreation Office has changed the process for distributing Kayak Storage Berths at Dealy Field.  Instead of a random lottery, this year the city’s 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, where they must submit a digital photo of their tax bill and submit payment of a $75 rental fee for the use of a berth. PLEASE NOTE: 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 9:00 AM, at which time the Recreation Office’s Rec Desk “Kayak Rack” page will be activated.   Please 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, please phone 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; and 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.
