How to Stay Safe on the Water

• Always wear a buoyancy aid – It’s included in your rental and must be worn at all times when paddling.

• Bring your mobile phone – Keep it in a waterproof drybag. Drybags are available for rent at our center.

• Dress for the weather – Wear appropriate clothing and be prepared for sudden changes in weather.

• Inform someone about your paddling plan – Always let someone know where you’re going and when you plan to return.

• Don’t paddle solo – Unless you are an experienced kayaker who knows how to perform a solo re-entry after a capsize, we recommend paddling with a friend or joining a guided tour.

• Check your kayak’s hatches – All our kayaks are unsinkable, but make sure the hatches are securely closed before heading out.

• Plan according to your skill level and the weather – If you’re unsure, ask us for advice. All tour plans must be communicated to us before departure.

• Navigation is key – You must bring a map for navigation (scale 1:50,000 is sufficient), showing fairways, sea marks, and landmarks. A basic map of the local area is included in your rental. More detailed maps are available to rent or buy.

• Follow local boating rules – All routes are open to other traffic (ferries, motorboats, sailboats), and you’re responsible for following proper marine traffic rules.

• Consider extra safety equipment – Depending on your route, you may need additional gear like a compass, spare paddle, pump, or extra drybags. A list of available safety gear and prices is available on-site (subject to availability).
