We create custom sea kayaking experiences for groups of all kinds, including schools, wedding parties, camps, corporate groups, big families and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
About
A guided rental is a great option for experienced campers able to provide their own camping gear and food, but who want the expertise of a guide for an overnight sea kayak trip on the Maine coast. Guided rentals are more affordable than our regular guided trips, but we still provide all the paddling gear you need and a licensed Maine guide to help you navigate your course along the Maine Island Trail.
Even if you have lots of kayaking experience you’re likely to find that the expertise of a local guide is invaluable. Your guide will help you choose the right campsite for your group based on the weather conditions, along with your interests and experience level. The presence of your guide also provides opportunities for you to develop and strengthen kayaking and trip-planning skills and to learn all about the local natural history and culture. Most importantly, having a guide along on your trip will ensure you have the safety gear, rescue skills and navigation abilities to safely navigate the dynamic sea conditions found along the Maine coast.
