SUP's
Our paddleboards are included across all Northshore Boat Club membership plans, giving you an easy option for the slower moments – warm days, quick trips out and the times when a boat is not really the point.
Kept here at Northshore, inflated and ready to launch straight into the harbour, they take away the usual faff of bringing one from home and getting set up.
We provide buoyancy aids and the essentials too.
KAYAK
Our kayaks are included across all Northshore Boat Club membership plans, with both single and double kayaks available as part of membership.
Because they are already here at Northshore, ready to launch straight into the harbour, there is no need to load them up at home and cart them back and forth.
We provide buoyancy aids and the essentials too, so it is all there and ready to go.
