A little story for you — and it’s a good one, worth a read.
A customer asked me a while back to help advertise his Cetus HV. Happy to help, of course however despite being a beautiful, like‑new kayak, it just didn’t sell.
He got back in touch and said he’d simply give me the kayak. I was completely taken aback and said absolutely not — let’s try lowering the price instead. Still no luck.
Then, out of the blue, he contacted me again and said, “I’m giving you the boat. I’ll drop it off on Saturday.” I was honestly overwhelmed by his generosity.

After thinking it over though, I suggested a different idea: I’d accept the kayak, but I’d sell it to raise funds for a charity nominated by him. He loved the plan — and that’s where we are now.

So…
✨ A fantastic Cetus HV expedition lay up and several other items are now up for grabs, with all proceeds going to Outward Bound- a brilliant charity helping people get outdoors, build confidence, and discover the joy of being on the water.

This Cetus HV is priced at the top end of the second‑hand market because it is genuinely “as new”, with no hull gelcoat scratches. It’s the Expedition Spec model, and comes with high‑quality extras including two touring spraydecks, a neoprene cockpit cover, two Reed paddle holders, and a deck compass. Replacing this package new would be well over £5,000, so the asking price reflects the exceptional condition, premium outfitting, and the value of the included accessories. At the moment it's listed at £3,200.00 and it would be fantastic if we could raise this amount for the charity but happy to discuss if you're interested.

Please take a moment to admire the photos, share the post, and get in touch if you’d like to own this amazing kayak — and support a great cause at the same time.
There are other items available such as paddles, etc but these will be listed separately.

A very busy, very wet regatta! Good to see everyone and well done Paul on winning the kayak race ( which apparantly got a bit “physical” half way round the island! 🤣).

My Google Business page seems to have randomly decided that the shop is temporarily closed. I promise I’m very much open — I’m here, working away, and serving customers 😊
It should now be corrected, but if not, this is definitely one of those moments when you shouldn’t believe everything you read on social media!
And just to prove we’re at work, here’s Molly with her Monday‑morning blues as she heads in for her shift 😂😂

Gordon joined us at the MidWest Sea Kayak Symposium this year and everyone who paddled with him had a great time, picking up tips on how to improve their paddling. If you can join him on his coaching days, you won’t be disappointed!
