Kayak and paddlesports courses for adults
The Weymouth Paddlesports Academy is situated on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. It benefits from easy access to a variety of high quality paddling venues to ensure you maximise your time learning rather than travelling. Within 8 miles you'll find sheltered harbours and bays, the fleet tidal lagoon, tidal races, rock hopping and sea caves.
We have a range of boats and high quality coaches to meet your paddling needs.
What we offer
We have a range of activity options for adults. These include courses, bespoke group bookings and one to one sessions. You can also book activities for yourself and your family.
Courses
Our courses are designed to accommodate for a range of abilities, and range from 1 to 4 days.
If your course runs over a day you can stay at our centre in one of our classrooms for £13 a night. You will need to bring your own bed but you would have full use of our facilities. This includes a kitchen, toilets, showers, drying room and Wi-Fi. We also have a secure car park and boat storage.
