Intermediate Sea Kayaking Courses
Our intermediate sea kayak courses are for you if you already have some kayaking experience.
Sea kayaks and equipment are included in our prices. We have a large fleet of Sit-on-Top and sit-inside sea kayak designs (Ocean Kayak, RTM, Valley, P&H) plus high-performance Rockpool Tarans, Tiderace Pace 17’s and Epic surf-skis.
Intermediate Sea Kayak Trail. (5 days)
Blow hole on the north coast
Explore Jersey, the island of the tides. Discover a coastline that is constantly changing over 5 days.
Paddle with experienced local guides who will take you to hidden caves and coves.
We aim to paddle from a different location each day so you get to know what lies around the headlands as you explore a coastline that changes minute by minute as the tide rises and falls. Experience a range of conditions accompanied by our expert local staff, who can also reveal the history and wildlife around our coast.
Tailored to your own goals, we’ll improve your skills so you become a better paddler and can get even more fun from your kayaking. To get the most from this course, you should have some kayaking experience and be able to paddle around 5-8 miles per day.
The course is also suitable for less experienced paddlers who want to progress rapidly over a few days of kayaking. However, you’ll need to be fit, keen to learn new kayak skills rapidly, and at times be challenged in more demanding conditions. If your skill level is insufficient to handle an intermediate course, we reserve the right to move you to other kayak trips and tours so you -and those on the course- get a good experience.
All equipment (choose a sit-on-top sea touring kayak or a sit-inside sea kayak) is included in the price.
There is also the opportunity to be assessed for the British Canoeing Explore or British Canoeing Sea Kayak Award or add the Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning course as an extra day.
2024 Dates. Please visit our online booking section for all current dates.
Additional custom dates can often be arranged on request.

Intermediate Sea Kayak Skills Development course (1-5 days)
New for 2024;
Tune up your sea kayak skills
Often, paddlers find they learned skills when they first started paddling but have not had the opportunity to revisit and tune up their skills and techniques. During this course, we’ll look at ways you can implement techniques in various sea states and environments to make you more confident afloat.
The course is limited to no more than four paddlers, so you get plenty of coaching and advice. There is also an opportunity for video analysis. Before the course, you’ll be asked to identify the areas you want to develop. The aim is for you to go home with new tools and knowledge to add to your development as a competent sea kayaker.
Expect to paddle in a range of sea states and environments, so you’ll get the opportunity to transfer skills into real situations and practice linking your paddle techniques more effectively.
There is also the opportunity to be assessed for the British Canoeing Explore or British Canoeing Sea Kayak Award or add the Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning course as an extra day.
All equipment (you can select a sit-on-top sea touring kayak or sit-inside sea kayak) is included in the price.
It’s also possible to book training days if you cannot attend the listed dates.
