FOLKESTONE SEA SPORTS

Across the district, Folkestone

Located on Folkestone’s beautiful harbour next to Sunny Sands beach, Folkestone Sea Sports offers kayak, paddleboard and powerboat courses, and, once qualified, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard to discover our fantastic coastline at your own pace.

The sea kayaking taster session includes a safety talk, and teaching skills which include learning how to paddle forwards, backwards and stopping and turning.  With the basics mastered, a fully qualified instructor will take you on a tour of the harbour and the bay.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (or SUP as it’s known to aficionados) is becoming ever more popular, as it’s a great way to exercise, get fit, de-stress and above all have fun!  Folkestone Sea Sports’ ‘Ready to Ride’ introductory session teaches you everything you need to know – how to stand up on the board, paddle backwards and forwards, turning, stopping and starting, followed by lots of fun activities designed to build confidence and skills.

For those who fancy something a bit harder and faster, Folkestone Sea Sports also offers the RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling course, which provides the skills and background knowledge needed to be a competent powerboat driver, and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence.  Teaching boat handling and seamanship skills for powerboat drivers, it focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations.

Folkestone Sea Sports is proud to be part of The Sports Trust Charity and to hold a licence from both the RYA and Adventure Activities Licensing.
