Ocean Kayaking is a wonderful experience for everyone who tries it and is not limited to "experienced paddlers" only.  Many people have the "notion" that Sea Kayaking involves lots of gear, huge waves, and the ability to do an "eskimo roll".  The fact is that we take out hundreds of people each year that have never even been in a canoe, and they have an exciting, trouble free "kayak adventure".  The boat that we use most often on our trips is actually an "umiak" or open top kayak. There are many different models of these available, but we believe the one we use to be the best on the market and is suitable for 90% of our clients (weight being the limiting factor). It can handle 8 to 10 foot seas without any problems and is equally at home on the calm waters of a protected bay or river. Both beginners and experts appreciate it's stability, speed and maneuverability.  

The region that most of our trips are run is the southern end of Saco Bay off a small village known as Biddeford Pool.  There is plenty of protected water for peaceful kayaking and an abundance of wildlife .  Wood Island  light, built in the early 1800's is a popular destination, but most prefer the longer trip to Beach island where a colony of seals make their summer home.

The "Umiaks " that we use are stable, safe and maneuverable.  We supply wetsuit shorts and life jackets and recommend that each kayaker wear a bathing suit, bring a wind breaker and, if the weather is cool, something to wear under the windbreaker.   Shoes or sandals that you won't mind getting wet  are required (an old pair of sneakers works best).  Bring along a bottle of water and a "sense of adventure" and you're ready to go
