# Sea Kayaking & Paddling

Silent exploration, intimate coastlines

## What to Expect

Sea kayaking from a yacht gives you the best of both worlds - the comfort and range of a mother ship, combined with the intimacy and silence of a kayak. Paddle into sea caves that the yacht cannot reach, glide over shallow reefs and mangrove channels, and explore coastlines at a pace that lets you see everything. The yacht carries the kayaks, meets you at the next anchorage, and has a hot shower and cold drink waiting.
