The Paddlesports Section is part of Dartmouth Yacht Club, which is a Community Amateur Sports Club situated in the centre of Dartmouth, fronting the beautiful River Dart.
We invite you to join us out on the water and to enjoy this unique opportunity that only paddlesports can offer.
Taster Session Information
£35 per person £120 for a family of four
Using our general-purpose river kayaks, we will launch from the pontoon directly in front of the DYC Clubhouse and enjoy a 2-hour journey up or downriver, depending on the tide and conditions. Each session is led by a qualified Sea Kayak Leader. Enjoy the beauty of the River Dart and its wildlife from a unique perspective, hopefully spotting a seal or two!
As well as providing you with a kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid, we can also lend you a wetsuit, rash vest, kag and wetsuit boots. You are welcome to get changed in our Clubhouse facilities. We recommend that you wear a swimsuit and bring with you a towel, sunglasses and/or hat/visor, sunscreen, water and a snack. If you wish to carry a mobile phone on the water, please make sure it is in a suitable dry bag!
