5 STAR HIRE EXPERIENCES

 

River Hamble Kayak and paddleboard hire

Our River Hamble paddle base is situated within the picturesque River Hamble Country Park giving paddlers of all ages the opportunity to get on the water safely.

1-hour kayak and paddleboard hire sessions

We offer kayak hire and paddleboard hire within a safe operating area supported by our team. Our kayaks are sit on top touring style making them incredibly stable, easy to paddle and ideal for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

Want to hire for longer than 1-hour?

If you are wanting to hire for longer, you can book sessions back-to-back using our online booking system. For more experienced paddlers we offer our Pick up & Go service where you can collect your craft, tour and explore outside of our normal operating area. For these bookings, please get in touch and we’ll discuss the options available as these vary from day-to-day due to tide times.

We are a family orientated business

Our team is here to support you to make sure you and your family have a positive experience. We have lifejackets and buoyancy aids available for all ages. Our kayaks and paddleboards can be shared between an adult and child, or more confident children can hire their own equipment. If you are getting your kids on the water for the first time, check out this helpful video.

DOGS ARE VERY WELCOME TOO
We are proudly a dog friendly business - because adventures are better with your best friend by your side! Whether they’re seasoned sea dogs or just along for the splash. We just ask that you are responsible and keep your dogs on a lead being mindful of other Hamble Country Park visitors.

We welcome group bookings

Stoked is perfect for family gatherings, stag and hen parties, schools and youth groups as well as corporate team building. We have plenty of kit and can accommodate groups up to 40 people comfortably. Get in touch to speak about adding water to your next event.
