  • What is the meeting point?

    Directions are clearly explained on Google Maps, please make sure you digit “Real Venetian Kayak” (the name of the building where we are) on your browser and you will easily find us.

  • Is there a "dress code"?

    You'll be ok in your t-shirt and shorts in summertime. In Autumn and Springtime it can be quite chilly, therefore you might need your booties, long trousers, wind jacket. Bring a towel and a change just in case.

  • What do you provide?

    Boards, leash and paddles are included. We provide 11' all round very stable school boards, soft top for the most comfortable touring. 

  • Where will we go and see?

    The route of the SUP tour is decided time by time by the Instructor/SUP guide. It depends on the level of the participants, on the conditions of the weather, the level of the tide, on the conditions of the traffic. The tour takes 100 minutes.

  • How do I see the free slots for my booking?

  • Can the SUP’s stability be influenced by the waves of the canals?

    The answer is no! Indeed, Venice’s canals are without natural waves. A few waves can be produced by the motorboats, but they won’t influence the stability of the SUP.

    If you are first time on a SUP please ask for our SUP Beginners tour. This package is designed to provide the skills you need to paddle in our SUP excursions in Venice. 


    You don't need to be a pro, just be confident with the basic SUP techniques: you need to stop the board at the crossings or junctions also in the current and you need to know how to veer 90° sharp (no surfing stance, paddle back turn is what you need to know)
