 KAYAKING
Try a unique way of seeing some of the Island's
outstanding areas of natural beauty with your own,
personal watercraft.
The Isle of Wight has a network of rivers and streams
all feeding out to the sea, and you will be able to get
onto the water and learn some of the basic paddling
techniques with a day or half day of Kayaking.
After a short safety brief and demonstration of all
the kit on dry land at the water sports centre, we will
take you off to a river where you will take to your kayak
and spend some fun time on the water.
Instructors work on a ratio of 1 to every 6 people so
you can be assured of individual attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring?
We will provide wetsuits, spray tops, buoyancy aids,
helmets and a kayak each. You need to wear shoes you don't
mind getting wet and muddy, and bring a towel - showers
are available when you return to the centre after your
activity.
Where will we go?
All your kayaking will be on inland waterways which are
flat and calm - no rapids on the Isle of Wight, sorry!
The actual venue on the day will depend on the weather.
Will I get wet?
Yes, definitely, and probably muddy too as you get in and
out of your kayak. This is why you need to wear shoes you
don't mind getting a little soggy!
What about lunch?
If you are out for the day a picnic or pub lunch,
depending on your package booked with us, will be
included.
What do we do in a day?
After a briefing and introduction you will spend your
first session on the water learning basic paddling
techniques and, depending on your instructors, how to 'Eskimo
roll'. Later on you will all play some games on the water
just for a bit of fun.
Do I need to swim?
No, you don't, but you must let us know in advance so the
instructors know on the day so you can be taken extra
care of. With a small instructor to student ratio and
very safe waters we hope to allow everyone to try.
FISHING
Sitting just a couple of miles off the South Coast,
the Isle of Wight is perfectly placed for a spot of Sea
Fishing in and around the Solent and the South of the
Island.
A number of commercial fishing boats still operate
from the Island and supply many hotels and restaurants
with fresh fish all year round so you will be in good
company on your day.
With a range of fish available to catch just a short
distance from the Island, and no experience necessary
this is a fun day out for all.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
All your fishing equipment - rods, lines, hooks &
bait is included. If you are already a keen fisherman you
can also bring your own equipment. Lunch is not organised,
but can be arranged by u us when you book. The only gear
you need to bring is something warm and waterproof to
wear in case the weather is a bit unsettled.
How long is the day?
You will need to be ready for an 8.30 start, and the boat
leaves from Yarmouth. The day will finish around 4.30 - 5.00
and we can arrange transfers for you on the day as part
of your package.
What will I catch?
The type of fish around depends on the time of year
and the tides, however, you could be fishing for Mackerel,
Skate or Bass.
Can we keep what we catch?
Yes! However, you will need to check with the hotel
whether or not they will cook or store it for you! In the
Summer we can arrange BBQ facilities for group bookings
so you can cook your catch and eat it at your leisure.
How many people can go out?
The group will be a maximum of 8 people on the day.
Fishing is really open to anyone as well, whether you
have experience or not - no fitness required!
