Come and meet with us on the water
Welcome to The Club
We are Fort William based, with around 70 members of all ages and abilities. As long as you are happy to get wet then you are more than welcome to come and join us.
During the summer we have sea kayak trips most Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. At weekends throughout the year about once per month we have longer meets. Our white water enthusiasts meet informally and can often be seen on the Garry when there are dam releases. The club is also used as a forum to meet other keen paddlers who just want to get out whenever and wherever.
We have a few river kayaks and various other bits of paddling kit for new members to use but we recommend members to buy their own. Advice is free and there is a healthy second hand market.
Early in the season we usually organise pool sessions to keep the skills up and then open water training sessions as the season goes on.
If you have any enquiries please get in touch. Look forward to seeing you on the water,

Club training
Pool sessions
We organise pool sessions and outdoor training sessions. The aim is to raise the standard of paddling and in particular safety throughout the club. For those new to paddling we hope to get you confident and competent enough to take part in our evening meets.
Training nights
Continuing from the pool sessions we now move onto Loch Linnhe to consolidate the skills learnt in the pool.
Club holidays
Most years we organise a club holiday so that the serious enthusiasts can indulge in a whole week of sea kayaking. Past venues include the Outer Hebrides, Mull and Shetland. For future years we are open to suggestions. Please be aware that these trips are only suitable for experienced kayakers
