🚣‍♀️ What to Expect

This double touring kayak is designed for smooth, efficient paddling, with a long waterline that tracks well in a straight line while remaining easy to manoeuvre. Adjustable footrests and seating ensure a comfortable ride, while the sit-in design keeps paddlers drier than a sit-on-top kayak. Its bow allows for easy passage through small waves or choppy sections of the river.

Ample storage space lets you bring spare clothing, picnics, and personal belongings, with waterproof phone cases and dry bags included for convenience. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet afternoon with a friend or tackling a longer adventure, this kayak provides a stable and enjoyable way to experience the river.

📍 Location

Launch from our private pontoon on the non-tidal River Thames in West Molesey, Surrey, giving easy access to calm, scenic waters. The area offers riverside paths, islands, and parks, making it easy to plan a route that suits your time and interests.

The river is shared with other paddlers and small craft, so awareness and courtesy are essential. Extra care should be taken around locks and weirs, and all paddlers are asked to keep to the right-hand side of the river. Respect for other users and riverside property ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

📋 Prerequisites

Bookings must be made by an adult aged 18 or over, with at least one adult accompanying any junior paddlers. All participants must wear the provided buoyancy aids, and a short safety briefing is given before launch to ensure confidence on the water.

All equipment must be returned before the end of your hire period and removed from the water by dusk. Paddlers should dress appropriately for the conditions, including waterproof clothing if rain or wind is expected, and use a small dry bag for valuables.
