Stand Up Paddle board: £12/hr – We only have 2 of these. They are of rigid construction (not inflatable).

The minimum age to hire is 16 years old. If there is a group of people at least one person must be 16 or older. There is no minimum age to be on a boat but young children & babies must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Please note we do not hire out boats in extreme weather or stormy conditions.

The minimum hire is 1 hour. If you are coming at the end of the day, make sure you turn up at least 1 hour before closing time. If there are boats available just less than 1 hour before closing, we may be able to offer a half hour hire. On busy days if boats are queued up we may not have availability, so the earlier you turn up the more chance you will have.
