Water sports equipment rental service

I organised an afternoon with Cobnor for our annual work trip and it was utterly fantastic! Gary and his team were incredibly professional and lots of fun and did a great job of keeping 30 fairly unruly adults in line without being too serious and keeping us all good spirits. We sailed to Bosham sailing club where Miranda had prepared the most delicious lunch for us and then had a lovely walk around the island before sailing back and ending with a swim in the sea! Everyone left feeling incredibly happy and energised. Huge thanks to Gary, Miranda and the team at Cobnor for putting together such a great afternoon - I would recommend this to anyone!

My wife and I booked a 3 day Thames Tour with Cave Active. We arrived at The Barefoot Campsite, which would be the base for the 2 nights camping. Phil arrived, and we set up camp in a great little area with a fire pit. The first paddle was upstream a 4 mile round trip to The Maybush for dinner, I think this was a chance for Phil to assess the standard of paddling and for the guests to get to know each other. After a great dinner, we paddled back down and settled in for our first night under canvas, whilst Phil got the Kelly Kettle fired up for a brew. Day 2 started with bacon and egg baps and hot tea. We then made our way to the Trout at Buckland Marsh for our launch site. A pleasant 8.5 mile paddle through beautiful tranquil countryside. A great lunch stop at Shifford lock with sandwiches from The Trout. We then continued on back to the campsite via the Rose Revived. That night dinner was cooked by Phil with burgers provided by Linthwaite Farms, which were well worth the wait. The last day started with porridge, and we broke camp. The last paddle was a 9.6 mile paddle finishing in Woolvercote, taking in 4 locks and a great alfresco lunch once at Pinkhill Lock, again prepared by Phil.The whole trip was relaxed and enjoyable but also very informative. I think my paddle stroke definitely improved. Phil also has a lot of knowledge about the areas you paddle through. You can tell Phil doesn't do this for a job. He does it for the passion he has for paddling. He has taken on some big paddles, both solo and in groups, and all the knowledge he has, he is happy to pass on. Everything is planned meticulously, and from the start, client safety is the top priority. I would definitely recommend Cave Active and am seriously considering booking on with Phil for his longer 5 day Loch Shiel Trip.He is definitely a man who knows what he is talking about and someone who gets a genuine pleasure from passing on what he has learned.

Shrimper 19 training session today was full on intensive so thanks to the team and everyone involved

Had a great afternoon out on the electric boat. Felt really safe operating it. Very quiet ,felt as one with my beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend it. Thank you

Had an amazing day yesterday Paddleboarding with my family from Ripon to Boroughbridge accompanied by Sam. The day was so fun, despite the rain and great value for money. Sam was both professional and very attentive when we fell but equally relaxed and friendly. We were all beginners and by the end of the day we did not feel like beginners at all. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

I have done a couple of trips now with Outdoor Explore and both have been hugely enjoyable. One was a gentle paddle on the River Isla with lots of bird life to see and peace in all directions. The other was on the River Tay at Broughty Ferry which is a great way to see the place from a different angle. Piotr is an excellent instructor, he takes the time to get you comfortable in the kayak before setting off and is patient with those, like myself, who have little experience. As for his guide skills, he knows his stuff on local history and sights and I learned some new things despite living in the area for 25 years. Will definitely be booking again as there is a wide selection of different tours and the experience overall is excellent!

Great service and will be reccomending them to friends, as we had such a great time exploring the creeks in Burnham overy staithe on a paddle board

Amazing experience! I’m sure the bikes are just as fun but we went with the e-boards and would highly, highly recommend. We had so much fun. Joe was a great guide - so friendly, told us interesting Enniskillen history, and made the kids feel at home instantly even giving them captain hats bc it was my son’s older birthday! This is an absolute must do if you’re in the area!

My son and I had a fantastic 2 hour jet ski safari at the weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great time. Oxwich is great and we will definitely be back again in the spring. The jet skis are so exhilarating. Definitely the best 2 hour full body workout!

It was a great morning with Charlie! We did stand up paddle for 2h, saw some seals and birds, weather was great! (and don’t worry you won’t be cold in the wetsuits). Charlie accepted us with only one day’s notice which was perfect for our improvised trip :)
