Paddleboard (SUP) Guided Trips

Portland Harbour Paddleboard Guided Trip

Join us for our unforgettable Standup Paddle board journeys in Portland Harbour, near Weymouth of Dorset, to those who wish to be led on an inspiring guided trip following an established route of the harbour that takes in the best sights. 

​

Like our sea kayaking trips, paddleboard trips are available as HALF Day and FULL Day.

​

Who can join a trip?

Our paddleboard harbour trips are friendly and accessible trips, that are aimed at anyone who can paddle a SUP. You don't need to have paddleboarded before, but it obviously helps a great deal. Children under 12 tend to manage less well with paddling a full size SUP.

What you may see on a guided trip?

See historic sites and learn about the history of the area. See wild life not viewable elsewhere, and let your guide get you as close as possible for the perfect photo opportunity. There’s a real prospect of spotting a seal, and if you’re lucky, the resident Portland Harbour dolphin!

Stop for a coffee shop break if you like, and take in the activity of Portland’s glorious enormous harbour, with all its various water-sports users. Or dart up the renown Chesil Fleet - a unique lagoon that is tranquil and teeming with wildlife. Making lifelong memories.

​​​​

Paddleboard Guided Trips are primarily in Portland Harbour, Weymouth or the immediate area. Other areas along the Dorset Jurassic coast can be arranged. The later are first and foremost in open water, ocean environments, although inland / river guided trips can be arranged on request.

​

Equipment all provided; just bring some dry clothes!

 

Allow 3.5 hrs including setup/pack down for the half day, or 6 hrs for the full day. All prices per person.

Group sizes

​We intentionally run small groups sizes usually from one paddler to four. Not only does this mean we can keep our prices to you low, but we can run tailored guided journeys where each paddler gets the maximum support and attention. It also means there is less chance of a group having vastly different abilities, avoiding the necessity to balance challenge levels.

What should I bring?

This will depend on the weather. If it is warm then bring plenty of hydration, appropriate headwear, ​sun cream and sunglasses. Wearing shorts, t-shirt and trainers is ideal. Bring your swimsuit if you would like opt for an impromptu swim!

​

• If the weather is cold, then bring warm, lightweight clothes, trainers, headwear. You don't need a wetsuit, but by all means bring your own, and you're more likely to get wet on SUP than on kayak.

• For both scenarios bring snacks and if a full day bring a packed lunch.

• We will provide you with your craft, paddle, buoyancy aid, and a dry bag for your belongings.
