A sea kayak is a kayak developed for the sport of paddling on open waters of lakes, bays, and the ocean. They trade off the extreme maneuverability of whitewater kayaks for cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling, and comfort for long journeys. Sea kayaks can accommodate paddlers together with room for camping gear, food, water, and other supplies. Our single Pyranha Sea Kayaks are perfect for kayaking in Northern Ireland and do not have rudders but do have a skeg, we’ll teach you all about this when we meet.
An Experience not to be forgotten
Double sea kayaks (two person) provided by Mobile Team Adventure do have rudders and are suitable for all abilities, you can indulge in a relaxing tour watching wildlife and soaking up the scenery – Northern Ireland is a paddling paradise.
