Safe and stable sit-on kayaks one of the easiest, best and fun ways to get afloat. We've all you need to get paddling.
What are the benefits of a sit-on kayak?
Well, the most obvious one is safety; with a sit-on you do not feel trapped inside as in a conventional closed deck kayak. Therefore "Eskimo Rolls" are not necessary and self rescue is easy. You may leave the kayak at any time effortlessly.
Sit-on kayaks are extremely stable and can be paddled by the novice with ease and confidence. Within a few minutes anyone, from 8 to 80, can feel relaxed and in control in a sit-on kayak.
Sit-on kayaks are tough and stand up well to the knocks and scrapes of everyday use. They are also virtually unsinkable!
Go at your own pace; with a sit-on you don't need to be supremely fit. As it's easy to embark / disembark, you can stop wherever you fancy for a rest. It's good exercise and great fun too!

Why hire a sit-on here?
Well, if you know St. Mawes you already know the answer to this. If not, here are a few reasons:
1.Beautiful scenery and crystal clear, sheltered waters; even if you hire for just two hours (min. hire period) you will get a good feel for St. Mawes, the Percuil River and creeks, where you will see many species of birds and other wildlife. In a kayak you see things that can only be glimpsed from land and, because you are paddling, you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you'll also be helping to keep it that way!
2.The more adventurous can explore St. Anthony's Head (sea state permitting). Paddle right under the lighthouse and you may be joined by a seal or two, a pod of dolphins and, if you are very lucky, a majestic basking shark, which will probably be larger than your kayak. Don't worry though; he won't be interested in you! Along with many cormorants, shags and gulls.
Or head north for picturesque St. Just in Roseland.
3.Fancy a lazy day at the beach? They are only a 5 or 30 minute paddle away, alternatively find a secluded cove and be the only one there!
4.Visiting St. Mawes with your boat? Why not hire a sit-on? Its stability means it can even be used as a tender to get you to your mooring, and with it you can make the most of any anchorages you may visit during your stay.
