Lymington Kayak Hire

About

Lymington Kayak Hire has a growing fleet of sit on top kayaks, ideal for individual paddlers or family kayaks that can take two adults and a child to hire. All of the kayaks have been specially chosen for their stability and straight line performance – it’s the perfect way to spend a few hours out on the water!

There’s lots to see as you take a leisurely paddle along the Lymington River – meandering through an eclectic mix of boats on their river moorings and past Lymington’s two prestigious marinas. For the more novice kayaker, you can head briefly up river under the railway bridge where you can practice your technique in quiet shallow waters, before heading down river. Then, as you head down towards the protected saltgrass marsh, you may see a wide range of wildlife including, gulls, terns and various waders and diving birds. You may also see bass jumping out of the water and mullet eating the algae off of the hulls of moored boats. The river has also been visited by seals and porpoises in the past – so keep an eye out for Sammy the Seal!

Each session booked includes a safety briefing from one of the trained staff, followed by one hour on the water. It is therefore very important that you arrive on time, so the safety briefing can be given in full and you have time to change in to the safety gear you will be provided.

Lymington Kayak Hire is located at Yachtmail Chandlery in Lymington Quay.
