Kayaking Adventures on the Kennebec Estuary and Casco Bay around Phippsburg, Georgetown, Westport, B

The Civil War granite walls of Fort Popham loom over us as we visit the site of the 1607 Popham Colony's primitive Fort St. George, as well as the classic 1883 Hunniwell Life Saving Station. 

 We paddle from a serene beach along Maine's bold rocky shore, looking out over the island studded ocean to a working harbor stuffed with lobster boats and wooden wharfs (Parking for this trip needs a Town permit, so we need your car info).

The rocky remnants of the shipyard that built the last square-rigged ship, an 1800's Life Saving Station, and exploring  marshy creeks and craggy islands are highlights of this popular trip.

Paddle by the Zumwalt "stealth" destroyer at the Bath Iron Works (BIW) shipyard as well as the cod schooner at Maine Maritime Museum, plus the lighthouse and lifesaving station at Doubling Point.

Secluded and with a heavy legacy Malaga Island provides beautiful, fascinating paddling and hiking.

offer diverse ecology, paddling conditions and sense of space. There's also plenty of wildlife and history (like Phippsburg's forts & lighthouses).

feel intimate and gentle. They are biologically rich and more protected from weather.  Usually the paddling is easy and very tidal.

challenge you with dramatic scenery and sometimes more demanding paddling

conditions. Vast ocean views studded with islands will stir the soul.

Our kayaking camps can be basic or more comfortable, depending on your preference and budget. This photo shows a more deluxe” island camp with gas grill, tables, stools, lanterns, enabled by powerboat support. Let's talk about your vision. 

We can supply higher-end camping with our 18 ft powerboat, "EndorFIN" to allow more comfort and convenience  than we can carry ourselves while kayaking (like lanterns, chairs/stools, etc & food coolers). We can even get you to more remote islands where your kayaks are waiting. Call for details and pricing to accommodate your vision.   

There's nothing like a fire under the stars, the sounds and smells of the tide and waves to remind you of your connections and the value of kayaking to a camp.

Cooking in camp is a traditional and enjoyable part of guiding ... plus we gotta eat! But the menu that you hope for can vary from survival to spectacular. It's your choice and depends on our goals for the trip. Your choices will influence pricing because "classic" camp food tends to be basic. It's tasty as can be, but its also lightweight and compact, less perishable, less costly, needs less refrigeration and is less challenging to find. That's why the old-timers  (and modern-

day expeditions) go that way. But there's a lot to be said for the more gourmet or health focused menus, which have the opposite characteristics of "classic", including cost and associated work. Therefore you and I will talk about the food you want, and figure costs accordingly. Estimate $15-25 each person/day for "classic" meals but up to $50 for higher end fare. An option is for you to shop and bring the food, which gives you complete control over selection and price. 

To maximize safety in this challenging season we plan our trips in beautiful, relatively protected waters to avoid waves and strong currents. 

It's all in knowing how and where. We can show you a remarkable world of winter beauty and challenge that few experience.

Both water and land change character and we adapt our methods to meet and enjoy this unique environment.
