Canoes
Our canoes are available to hire year round (when we are open!) from our HQ or directly from St Helen’s beach between the months of May and September.
Also!!
Tackt-Isle @ the beach!
Between the dates of May 1st – September 30th 10.00-17.00 every day depending on the weather.
We have a rental ‘set up’ on St Helens Beach next to the old church and public car park.
We hire kayaks, SUPs, and canoes directly from there. Prices can be found on our tariff page.
Our canoes
Pelican 15.5
The Pelican 15.5 is a great canoe for families thanks to its stability and durability. There are 3 bench seats which are comfortable for up to 3 adults, or two adults and two children.
Hire locations
We have our own slipway which makes it easy for you to launch and recover your hired kit (tide dependent). If you hire at low tide, we can take your hired kit to the beach on our trailer.
During the summer months (May – September weather dependent) we will be setting up camp on the beautiful St Helens beach with selected paddle kit throughout the day for anyone to hire directly from the shore then straight into the water.
For a small additional delivery fee we are able to drop kit to you. Please note that at peak times this won’t always be possible.

- Buoyancy Aid
- Wetsuit
- Splash top
- Small dry bag
