What a trip actually looks like
Meet at the slipway
Twenty minutes before the departure time, at the bottom of Bearskin Neck. Wear something you do not mind getting wet.
Kit and a briefing
Boat, paddle, buoyancy aid and a dry bag for your phone. The briefing covers the stroke, the signals and what we do if someone goes in.
On the water
Two guides, front and back, the whole way. We go at the pace of the slowest paddler and nobody is ever left behind the sweep.
A landing
Every trip lands somewhere you cannot walk to. On the sunset trip that is the oyster beds, with the grower there to talk you through it.
Back by the posted time
We are off the water when we said we would be. If the forecast says otherwise we cancel the day before and refund in full.

When do I pay?
From people who came out with us
Booked three places on the sunrise trip the night before. Two guides for six of us and I have never felt out of my depth once.
We took the whole sunset boat for my mother’s sixtieth. Oysters on a sandbar as the sun went down — she has not stopped talking about it.
They cancelled on us for wind and refunded before I had even asked. Came back a fortnight later in perfect conditions.
Where to find us
The shed at the bottom of Bearskin Neck, next to the harbourmaster. Come and ask if you are unsure which trip suits you.
