St. Martin River

Not at all. Our tours are beginner-friendly and led by an ACA-certified instructor who gives a short paddling lesson before you launch. If you can sit in a kayak, you can join us.

Everything you need on the water — kayak, paddle, and a Coast Guard–approved life jacket (PFD), plus your guide. Just bring yourself and a sense of adventure.

Wear quick-dry clothing and water-friendly shoes or sandals. Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses with a strap, drinking water, and a change of clothes. You may get a little wet!

Most tours are 2–3 hours at a relaxed pace on calm, protected waters, with plenty of stops to watch wildlife. They suit most fitness levels — let us know if you have any concerns and we'll help you plan.

No minimum age, however we do have a minimum weight of 30 lbs. USCG approved Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) are rated by weight. An adult PFD is rated for 90 lbs and up. A youth PFD is rated for 50-90 lbs. A child PFD is rated for 30-50 lbs.

We keep groups small. Our tours are limited to a maximum of 8 people. The smaller group size allows for a more personal, unhurried experience and the best chance to spot wildlife.

Each tour has its own launch point, listed on your booking confirmation. Please arrive 15 minutes early to get fitted for gear and hear the safety briefing.

Your safety comes first. If conditions are unsafe we'll contact you to reschedule or issue a credit. Light rain usually isn't a problem we'll keep you posted. Its also not at all uncommon for the weather to be localized, it might be storming in Ocean City, but just across the Bay the sun will be out. We will often make the go or no go call around weather at the launch site. Unless you are contacted ahead of time please head to the launch site for your tour.

See our Cancellation Policy for full details. Morning tours close for booking the night before, while sunset and full-moon tours can be booked up to the day of.

If life happens and you get behind, just send a text with your ETA. There is no need to rush, even though we're not in Delaware the lower slower mentality extends across the state line. We can wait up to 15 minutes after the scheduled launch time. If you can't make that than please reach out and we can reschedule your tour.
