We are a group of people in the Tampa Bay area, who own our own boats, that like to have fun kayaking! From easy paddles through still mangrove channels to kayak surfing, we do it all.
CLUB MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of our Club is to encourage and support recreational kayaking within the Tampa Bay area. We do this by teaching safe kayaking, establishing “kayak buddy” networks for our members to meet other kayakers, leading trips, holding education sessions, charting places to kayak and encouraging members to be environmentally friendly.
We meet each second Monday of the month at local kayak shops. Each meeting we have a featured speaker on a topic of interest to kayakers. We are currently alternating between Bill Jackson’s and Sweetwater Kayaks. Call the shops for meeting times.
The Tampa Bay Sea Kayakers is a very large group, but we never see all of the members as meetings are not mandatory and different people go on the various trips. In our monthly Newsletter, we include a list of 10-25 trips (for that month) month led by our Club members or by local shops.
Do you want to become a better kayaker? Join us! Our members range from the novice to the very experienced. Many of our experienced members will be glad to give you some pointers.
Don’t paddle by yourself! Meet some fellow paddlers!
We look forward to paddling with you in this paradise we call home.
