OAC Tours Annual Used Boat Sale: Paddle Your Way to Adventure on November 16th
Mark your calendars, adventure seekers! OAC Tours is hosting our Annual Used Boat Sale — and this year, it’s bigger, better, and splashier than ever! Join us Sunday, November 16th from 12 PM to 3 PM at 551 N Main St., Cottonwood, AZ 86326 for one action-packed afternoon of deals, demos, and desert fun.
If you’ve ever rented a kayak and thought, “Wow, I could really get used to this,” — this is your sign.
Why Buy Your Own Kayak?
Sure, renting is great for a one-off adventure… but once you’ve caught the kayaking bug, owning your own boat just makes sense!
Freedom to Paddle Anytime: No need to wait for rental shops or deal with availability — your kayak is ready when you are. Sunrise paddles at Dead Horse Ranch? Sunset float near Sedona? You’re set.
Saves You Money Long-Term: Rentals add up fast. Buying your own kayak means you’re investing in years of adventure.
Customize Your Setup: When it’s yours, you can pick the perfect seat, color, paddle, and gear to fit your vibe and comfort.
And the best part? Our sale prices make it easy to take the plunge:
- Lake kayaks starting at just $250
- Single and double inflatable kayaks starting at $450
- Heavy-duty tandems from $500
Whether you’re a solo paddler or planning group adventures with your favorite co-pilots, we’ve got the perfect setup for you.
Holiday Shopping, OAC-Style
The holidays are right around the corner — and nothing says “I love you” like the gift of outdoor adventure. Grab an OAC Tours Gift Card for your favorite explorer! They can use it for kayaking tours, rentals, gear, and more. (And yes, that includes all the cool camping equipment we’re selling during the boat sale!)
From hiking backpacks to tents, sleeping bags, and cooking kits, OAC Tours is your one-stop shop for all things outdoors. Whether you want to rent or buy, we’ll get you fully outfitted for your next big trip.
Where to Camp Near Cottonwood & Sedona
After you snag your new kayak, make a weekend of it! Some of our favorite local camping spots include:
- Dead Horse Ranch State Park – Just minutes from downtown Cottonwood, this scenic park offers river access, shaded sites, and trails galore.
- Cave Springs Campground (Oak Creek Canyon) – Nestled in the red rocks near Sedona, it’s perfect for a weekend getaway surrounded by nature’s best views.
- Lo Lo Mai Springs – A private, tree-lined campground with a little luxury — great for those who like comfort with their campfires.
- Clear Creek Campground – A peaceful, lesser-known spot ideal for stargazing and easy kayak access.
Camping Tips & Tricks from the OAC Crew
We’ve spent a lot of nights under Arizona skies, and we’ve learned a thing or two:
- Freeze your water jugs — they keep food cold longer and double as drinking water once melted.
- Bring a tarp — it’s your best friend for shade, ground cover, or emergency shelter.
- Pack a headlamp — because nobody wants to wrestle with tent poles by phone light.
- Don’t skimp on snacks — trail mix, jerky, and s’mores fix everything.
- Catch the sunset — Arizona’s desert skies are pure magic. When those pinks and oranges stretch across the horizon, it’s worth every dusty mile to see it.
Why You Should Explore the Cottonwood–Sedona Area
If you’ve never watched a desert sunrise paint the red rocks gold or paddled across a still lake with cacti reflecting on the surface — you’re missing out on one of Arizona’s best-kept secrets.
Cottonwood is the heart of the Verde Valley, surrounded by rivers, vineyards, and rugged trails that are perfect for year-round adventures. Sedona’s world-famous red rock formations are just a short drive away, offering endless photo ops, hikes, and hidden swimming holes.
Whether you’re chasing sunsets, casting a fishing line, or roasting marshmallows under a star-filled sky, there’s no better time (or place) to dive into the great outdoors.
See You at the Sale!
So grab your friends, your adventure wish list, and your best campfire stories — and join us November 16th from 12–3 PM at OAC Tours in Cottonwood.
Because adventure doesn’t wait — and neither should you.
