As a certified sea kayak coach and backwater guide, I
found the need to build a sea kayak touring company that would be much more than just a guide service.
Guiding for other touring companies in the past, I would
reluctantly issue substandard gear and try to prepare decent meals from a bare bones budget. This was ridiculous; I knew something
had to change.
Over the years I have observed clients that I took
on multi-day sea kayak trips to be travelers at heart. Coming from different countries and all walks of life, they share a
common bond in having a sense of adventure and a willingness to experience life to the fullest.
Before starting this adventure company, I was talking
with an old friend and paddling buddy. While telling him of my plans to create a quality multi-day sea kayak excursion company,
he took me back to a time when we were teenagers sitting on the shore, talking of the exact same thing.
He reminded me that even at 15, I had the same vision
and foresight to see the need for providing quality paddling vacations.
After careful planning and much patience, this dream
that has been in the works for a lifetime has come to fruition. This is the company that owners, management and staff can
be proud to be a part of.
Drawing on a lifetime of experience, I have
created a company of professionalism and pride of ownership. I have made it top priority to provide the consistent quality
and attention to detail that all of my clients deserve.
We will never forget that this is your vacation.
