Kayaking Lessons at Ultimate Watersports

You just bought your first kayak and you’re ready for the next step. To paddle safely with confidence and get the full enjoyment to maximize your investment, consider taking a lesson at Ultimate Watersports in Baltimore, Maryland.

If you have yet to buy one, then our 3-Hour Quick Start Course is a must. Your ability to select the proper type of kayak will be greatly enhanced once you know how a kayak is supposed to perform. The small price of our course will save you both time and money when you are ready to invest in your first kayak!

Great instructors! They each have a very distinct style and provide tremendous support in helping your clients achieve what seemed previously unachievable. The other women from class were really charged and had nothing but great things to say about their experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and feel closer than ever to mastering my technique and more confident on bracing as well. Thanks to their quality instruction, I am unlearning some bad habits.

Fair winds...
