Choose your Craft
Katakanu or rafted canoe | Ages 8+
A stable, shared boat for a sociable evening on the water. Both options seat up to six people and are suitable for beginners.
These are a good choice for families or anyone who would prefer to paddle with others. Sharing a boat means others can help with the paddling, making this a more supported option than paddling your own kayak.
You can usually expect to stay relatively dry, although splashes and rain are still possible.
Anyone under 17 must be accompanied by a paying adult on the water. You may share a boat with other participants unless you book all six spaces.
Kayaking | Ages 17+
Paddle your own single-person kayak as we explore the Quays together. Beginners are welcome and our instructors will provide guidance.
Kayaking requires a good range of movement to get on and off the kayak and use the paddle. If you would benefit from others helping with the paddling, please consider a Katakanu or rafted canoe.
We use sit-on-top kayaks, which offer a stable paddling experience. We’ll aim for you to stay dry, but the seat can get wet and splashes or a fall into the water are still possible.
Paddleboarding | Experienced paddlers aged 17+
Experienced paddleboarders can choose a SUP through the Kayaking booking option. Select paddleboarding when completing the booking questions so we know which craft to prepare.
This option is for people who already have paddleboarding experience. If you’re new to SUP, please choose a kayak or shared boat for your evening paddle.
If you’re unsure which craft would suit you, please contact the centre before booking so we can discuss your needs.
Come with friends, bring the family or enjoy an evening out on your own. Our instructors will be on the water to guide the group and offer support throughout.
