Our guided multi-day expeditions on the Maine Island Trail are epic sea kayaking adventures and our courses create learning opportunities for all skill levels. We're dedicated to creating terrific paddling adventures for people of all backgrounds on the Maine coast. We primarily focus on sea kayaking, but also have a range of stand-up paddleboarding offerings. We also rent kayaks, SUPs and other outdoor gear. We have guided trips and lessons scheduled every day during the summer months, and occasional offerings during the rest of the year.

We led some youth experiencing homelessness on a kayaking trip recently and it was terrific!

We're so grateful for Preble Street and glad to have a chance to work together on this. And big thanks to the Maine Island Trail Association for supporting this trip as well.

At Portland Paddle we believe that you can do a lot on a stand up paddle board - stand up, sit down, paddle around, strike a yoga pose, and get a full body workout while floating on the water!

Join us weekly on Wednesday evenings for the rest of August for 90 minutes of SUP Fitness taught by a certified personal trainer. This unique class combines elements of pilates and barre with the beautiful benefit of floating on the water. Come try it out!

Sign up is available on our website.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful towels with us so we can keep dry when we're off the water. We love that they are made from carefully-sourced natural fibers and inspired by Maine's natural landscape 💖
