Stand-up Paddleboarding

Learn how to master this popular sport in flat water conditions with our team of instructors. It’s simple to get started on a paddleboard and we will help you learn techniques, turns and how to fall safely into the water.

Confidence levels will soon be rising, and everyone will enjoy the sense of independence this watersport brings. Easily accessible by all levels of fitness, paddleboarding is a great introduction to getting out on the water.

Keelboating

Larger than a dinghy, but smaller than a yacht, keelboats are ideal for small groups to get out on the water and learn the basics of sailing. Keelboat sailing is the perfect way to develop soft skills and encourage teamwork, as everyone in the group is given a role onboard.

Sailing is an exhilarating feeling and the skills learnt are proven to build confidence, interpersonal skills and will give you a new-found respect for the forces of nature.
