Even though all of our kayaks are GPS tracked with live tracking so we‘ll always know where you are, your safety is our utmost concern. Our safety boat, is maintained by our qualified marine engineer Richard Dye. Having recently gone through a major overhaul and rebuild in 2020, the PWC will be deployed to accompany large kayaking groups, when we have several kayaks on the water, and at kayaking events such as the yearly Paddlefest. Our RYA qualified riders of our safety boat are trained by Portsmouth Marine Training.
This service is in addition to being able to call the coastguard or lifeboat as normal. The safety boat can be called by marine radio, or by the dedicated phone number displayed on the safety stickers on your hired kayak. We may well check on your progress by coming along side whilst you are out paddling. When using a mobile phone, the call will be relayed to the safety boat operator’s two way radio.
