On many of our paddling challenges where appropriate we have our 17ft safety power boat on the water driven by one of our qualified instructors who are also first aid qualified. Our boat carries hot and cold drinks, energy snacks, spare dry clothing, radios, mobile phone and an extensive first aid kit.

From our boat we can easily capture groups on video and digital camera which we show through our digital projector at the end of your challenge during your celebratory dinner and presentation. Our boat can also carry people who are involved with the challenge but prefer not to actually be doing the paddling such as organisers etc
