Peace of Mind on the Water

• Everyone is welcome here, even if you don’t know how to swim.
• Our boats are steady as a couch and don’t tip over unless you rock them.
• Lifejackets are provided for all, including special sizes for kids and dogs.
• Stay in our protected Sanctuary cove where there’s supervision but no pressure to paddle.
• We test the water weekly and only operate when it is safe.

Sit or stand on a paddleboard. Kids and dog join too.

What to Wear & Bring

Your seat and legs will get wet.

• Bring a full change of clothes and, if you can, a towel.
• Wear gym clothes or a swimsuit.
• Shoes can be bare feet, hiking sandals, or water shoes.

You are welcome to simply float for the entire time.
Close your eyes, take a breath, and feel the water move you.
