Our fleet includes a diverse range of inflatable vessels to suit every aquatic adventure. From nimble 2-person kayaks perfect for serene lake explorations to robust 8-person rafts designed for thrilling river expeditions. We also offer specialized fishing boats with rod holders, premium pontoon-style inflatables with comfortable seating, and high-performance models with motor mounts for those who seek extra power. Each craft in our collection undergoes rigorous quality inspections before every rental to ensure your water journey is both memorable and secure.
We embrace the rhythm of the waters with seasonal operating schedules. During our peak season (May through September), our rental center welcomes adventurers from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week. In shoulder seasons (April and October), we're available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Thursday through Monday. Winter operations (November through March) are available by appointment only for special events and with enhanced safety protocols. We recommend making reservations at least 48 hours in advance during busy summer weekends and holidays when our boats often become fully booked by dawn-seeking explorers.
Finding your perfect floating companion is an art we've mastered. We recommend following the "comfort formula": choose a boat with a capacity rating that exceeds your group size by 1-2 people. This ensures ample space for both passengers and gear. For fishing excursions, consider models with wider beams for greater stability. Families with young children benefit from boats with higher sides and separate air chambers. During your reservation, our Aquatic Matchmakers will assess your experience level, intended activities, and water conditions to recommend the ideal vessel for your adventure—transforming a simple boat rental into a tailor-made aquatic experience.
Embarking on your floating adventure requires minimal paperwork but maximum responsibility. All renters must be at least 21 years old and present a valid government-issued photo ID. A credit card for the security deposit ($100-300 depending on boat type) is necessary, though this hold is released upon undamaged return. First-time renters complete our brief "Water Wisdom" orientation, covering basic navigation and safety protocols. For motorized options, proof of completing a boater safety course is required in accordance with local regulations. We also require all customers to sign our rental agreement which outlines responsible usage practices and return policies—connecting freedom with responsibility on the water.
Timing your reservation is like catching the perfect wave—it requires foresight. For weekend adventures during our peak season (June-August), we recommend booking at least 7-10 days ahead as our fleet often becomes fully committed to the water's embrace. Holiday periods should be secured 2-3 weeks in advance. For weekday excursions, 2-3 days' notice typically suffices. Last-minute spirits can try our "Spontaneous Sailor" waitlist, where cancellations occasionally create unexpected opportunities. Premium models and specialty crafts (like our transparent-bottom exploration boats) are limited treasures that should be reserved 2-4 weeks ahead to avoid disappointment. Remember, the early booker catches the boat!
We understand that plans, like weather on the water, can change unexpectedly. Our cancellation policy flows with understanding: cancellations made more than 48 hours before your scheduled departure receive a full refund or credit toward future adventures. Changes within 24-48 hours incur a 25% rebooking fee. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to a 50% charge, as your boat has already been prepared and removed from our available fleet. However, we offer a "Weather Wisdom" guarantee—if conditions become unsafe (as determined by our captains, not personal preference), you'll receive a full credit for rescheduling, because we believe adventure should be postponed, never abandoned.
We bring the buoyancy to you! Our "Doorstep to Shoreline" delivery service transports your inflatable craft to any approved launch site within a 30-mile radius of our facility. Delivery fees range from $25-60 based on distance and boat size. For premium service, our skilled team offers "Full Launch Assistance"—we'll not only deliver but also inflate, prepare, and help launch your vessel for an additional $35, turning setup into part of your leisure time. For expedition rentals (3+ days), we offer special delivery rates to more distant waterways, extending up to 75 miles from our base. All deliveries include basic setup instructions and a location-specific safety briefing, ensuring your adventure starts with confidence.
Your safety floats above all else in our priorities. Every rental includes our "Guardian Package" of essential safety gear: Coast Guard-approved life vests in various sizes (including child and pet options), a waterproof emergency whistle, a compact first aid kit, and a waterproof phone case. Larger crafts are equipped with throwable flotation devices and navigation lights for twilight returns. Our premium "Peace of Water" package adds a marine radio, GPS locator, and enhanced emergency supplies for those venturing into more remote waters. All safety equipment undergoes rigorous inspection after each use, because we believe that while adventure may be unpredictable, safety preparations should never be. We also provide a comprehensive safety briefing tailored to your specific water body and conditions.
Water adventures and weather dance an unpredictable tango. When skies darken, implement our "Sky-to-Shore" protocol: At the first sign of changing conditions, begin moving toward the nearest safe shore point (identified in your pre-rental orientation map). If you notice darkening clouds, increased winds, temperature drops, or distant thunder, don't wait—immediately head to shore. Lightning mandates immediate exit from the water. Our rental boats include a weather radio or smartphone app access for real-time updates. Preventatively, check weather forecasts before departure and communicate your float plan to someone onshore. Remember our wisdom mantra: "When in doubt, paddle out"—meaning exit the water, as no adventure is worth risking the next one.
Even the finest vessels occasionally lose their breath. If you detect a leak, implement our "Seal and Sail" approach: First, remain calm—our multi-chambered designs ensure one leak won't sink your day. Locate the leak by listening for escaping air or applying water to suspect areas to spot bubbles. Apply the emergency patch kit (included with all rentals) following the simple illustrated instructions. For significant leaks, head to the nearest shore while redistributing weight away from the affected chamber. Contact our 24/7 "Rescue Rangers" support line for guidance and assistance. If a rapid deflation occurs (extremely rare with our quality boats), immediately don life jackets and stay with the craft—even partially deflated, it provides flotation. Remember, a small leak is merely a pause in your adventure, not its conclusion.
Freedom on water comes with nautical boundaries. All rentals include our "Waterway Wisdom" map highlighting approved zones tailored to your specific boat's capabilities. Generally, our inflatables are approved for lakes, slow-moving rivers (Class I-II rapids maximum, depending on boat type), protected bays, and calm coastal waters within 400 yards of shore. Restricted areas include: shipping channels, water intake zones, wildlife sanctuaries during nesting seasons, areas marked with red buoys, and any waterway with posted "No Inflatables" signage. Certain premium expedition-grade vessels may have expanded approved territories. Venturing into restricted zones voids insurance coverage and may result in forfeiture of your security deposit. Our pre-rental orientation includes a detailed review of location-specific restrictions—because knowing your boundaries enhances, rather than limits, your aquatic freedom.
Young sailors develop under watchful winds. Our "Junior Captain" policy allows supervised operation by minors with these graduated guidelines: Children under 12 may paddle small crafts only within arm's reach of an adult. Youth aged 12-15 may operate non-motorized boats independently in protected waters while visible to accompanying adults. Teens 16-17 may operate standard inflatables independently after completing our complementary "Youth Skipper" orientation and with signed parental authorization. For motorized options, operators must be at least 16 with proof of completed boater safety education, regardless of local regulations. All minor operators must wear life jackets at all times (as should adults, though not legally required for those over 18). We believe nurturing responsible young captains creates the next generation of water stewards—but safety always holds the helm.

Our Aquatic Journey

Welcome to CeluJuy – where water adventures come alive in vibrant hues of excitement and discovery. Born from a whispered dream beside the rippling waters of Jujuy's hidden lakes, our story began with a simple passion: to unlock the boundless joy that only floating freely can provide.

What started as a handful of inflatable boats and an insatiable love for aquatic exploration has blossomed into the region's premier water adventure service. Our fleet now dances across Jujuy's most breathtaking waterways, carrying with them not just passengers, but dreams, laughter, and memories waiting to be crafted.

Through seasons of change and waters both calm and challenging, we've remained anchored to our founding philosophy – that everyone deserves to experience the unique freedom that comes when you drift away from shore, if only for a little while.
