DO I NEED A PARTNER?
Our rentals are 4.2 meters in length, or just over 14 feet long, and normally require two, physically capable adults to properly operate.

So yes, in most cases, you do need a paddle buddy.
​
HOWEVER, our kayaks are special and do offer for a single paddler, too!!!
​​
Children under ten years old ride free and can easily fit comfortably in the third seat, positioned in the middle of the kayak, in a non-paddling position.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME ON MY TOUR?
Water:
Summer adventures: Between the two of us, we carry 3 liters each, 2 frozen the night before, and 1 ready to drink.
​
Winter adventures: It depends on the length of time, but we pretty much do the same as above, but no freezing required.
​
*50+ SPF Sunscreen, for all year paddling. You can, and will burn throughout the year if you are fair-skinned. Yes, even Maltese people burn whilst kayaking, so, keep your shirts on gents, and ladies, please cover up to protect your skin. You can swim on break, but we do prefer our guests covered, as you will have your legs exposed to the sun being sit on tops and wearing clothes stops potential rashes from forming on the skin.
​​
*Snacks: protein bars, nuts, trail mix, dried and/or fresh fruits, etc...Some even bring ftira and whatever else.
​​
*Towel
