Our sea kayaks are of superb quality and are available to hire, from two hours to two weeks. Safe and stable, sit-on  kayaks are ideal for many purposes.

All our sea kayaks have storage compartments with water tight hatches which allow food and equipment to be carried. With a sit-on you do not feel trapped inside as in a conventional closed deck, therefore self-rescue is easy and you may leave the kayak at any time effortlessly.

Sit on kayaks are extremely stable and can be paddled by the relative novice with ease and confidence
