Wind down on the water.

This excursion offers the perfect opportunity to decompress after a long summer’s day and enjoy the golden hues and cooler temps of an early evening paddle.

We begin with a brief on land intro to your gear, followed by a tour around the islands of New Castle and Portsmouth, NH.

Our guides will also provide tips to help you standup paddle most efficiently along the way.

Tours are offered both publicly and privately, with schedules changing daily due to the tides.
