We hired a kayak for my 13 year old daughter who paddled with me while I swam, she absolutely loved it... Despite it being a little bouncy!! The next day she wanted to try a paddle board and again was buzzing after and loved it! The team were great, so helpful, very safe and enthusiastic and am so grateful for being able to give my daughter such a great experience on the water! Thanks guys.
What a fabulous experience we have just had !! It was very windy and wet, the instructors were so brilliant, encouraging and helpful, the two children who went on the kayaks had a really long fun time and two other people in our party even had a free ride on the rib!! The children haven’t stopped talking about it,and after hot showers and hot chocolates are ready to go again!!
Weather, tides & current
The nature of the Solent and British weather means that unfortunately sometimes strong winds (Beaufort force 5+) and rain spoil our fun and stop us operating. It's best to keep an eye on our Facebook page or contact us if you are unsure.
Water temperature
The average water temperature in the Solent in July – September is 18°C, which is about ten degrees colder than most indoor swimming pools. Even in the peak of summer the water can feel cold. Please make sure you dress appropriately.
Safety cover
Our friendly team are there to keep you safe and to make sure everyone has a great time on the water. It is important that you listen to them and show them the same respect you would expect to receive. We will not tolerate abuse towards our staff.
