Welcome to Paddlecraft –  Learn to Kayak & Canoe with the Experts

Paddlecraft is a provider of kayak and canoe coaching, river trips and expeditions. We are based close to the River Stour, between Ipswich & Colchester, on the Suffolk / Essex border. 

Kayak Coaching Session

Paddling a Canoe or Kayak is a leisure activity that can be enjoyed by absolutely anybody. It’s a great way to explore the countryside or coastline and it can be as fun, as relaxing, or as adrenalin-filled as you'd like it to be.

 If you’re new to the sport or a paddler who wants to develop your skills further, Paddlecraft can help. Alternatively, if you're just looking for an enjoyable experience as a group or a family we can provide that too.

 You don’t need to be particularly fit or skilled to enjoy the sport, however, a little knowledge will go a long way and Paddlecraft can take you as far as you want to go.....and if you don't have your own boat, we can provide kayaks and canoes of all shapes and sizes.

We offer friendly and enthusiastic advice about any aspect of the sport that interests you, or if you're just not sure, we can recommend what to try first.

If you're a little nervous, during the warmer months we have a small pool for capsizing or eskimo rolling practise under the close supervision of a skilled instructor.
