Highlights
Outing Highlights
Stable, touring-friendly sit-on-top tandem
These longer, higher‑volume tandem sit‑on‑tops glide better than smaller solo boats, sit you higher out of the water and give a more stable, drier ride — ideal for two paddlers working together.
Explore the Torquay coastline together
The format is built around coastal exploration: pairs can cover more distance and enjoy the shoreline safely, whether as two adults or as a parent and child sharing a boat.
Flexible hourly hire with kit supplied
Boats are hired by the hour (one to four hours), and the rental package includes boat, paddles and buoyancy aids, with optional dry bags, phone cases and jackets available.
What the day feels like
What it feels like on the water
Settle into a spacious two‑person sit‑on‑top and, after a short fitting, push off to paddle in tandem along the bay. With two paddlers sharing the work the boats cover ground with an easy, touring cadence; the higher volume keeps you perched higher above the swell and reduces the chance of getting wet, making the outing feel steady and uninterrupted.
