BATH BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Mega SUPs, tandems and SUPs: a two-hour group watersports charge through central Bath

Mega SUPs, tandems and SUPs: a two-hour group watersports charge through central Bath.
The Bath Water Sports Package places groups onto the city’s waterways for two hours of coached play on giant Mega SUPs, tandem kayaks and stand-up boards. With instructors, safety kit and a short masterclass, the session moves from shore-side briefing into team games and craft rotations that let participants see central Bath from the water.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Mega SUP — a stable, social float
Original Wild’s Mega SUPs are oversized paddleboards built to carry groups — up to ten adults — and are highly stable, making them ideal as a team platform for navigation, games and group challenges under instructor supervision.
Tandem kayaks — speed and shared effort
Tandem kayaks give pairs greater paddle power and pace; they can be used as true doubles or paddled solo if preferred, offering a comfortable alternative to standing craft during the session’s mixed-craft format.
Stand-up paddleboards — quiet sightlines through the city
Stand-up paddleboarding lets individuals glide past Bath’s riverside sights, and within the package SUPs are also rotated into team games — from light racing to playful sumo-style challenges — to keep the session varied and social.
What the day feels like
What the two-hour session feels like
After meeting and being kitted with buoyancy aids and any available wetsuit trousers or windproof tops, groups receive a concise safety briefing and a quick masterclass before heading to the water’s edge. The next phase is hands-on: participants rotate between craft — Mega SUPs, tandems and traditional boards — and engage in instructor-led games and challenges tailored for groups and mixed abilities.
