Sea Kayaking Tours

Sampler, or Extender Trips



Our mission is to promote human-powered boating on the Mississippi River, starting from the heart of downtown Minneapolis, and focusing especially on the 13 miles of waterway above St. Anthony Falls.

UNIQUE ROWING SHELLS - KAYAKS - CANOES

We provide:
  • Boats sales (new and used)
  • Group tours (short, half-day, full day, picinic and supper cruise)
  • Boat handling instruction
  • Boat rentals
First-time renter with ATFS?  We'll take you to the river and provide a short instruction session that ensures your safety and comfort on one of the nation's premier commericial waterways.  Upon completion of this session, you will receive an ATFS certificate (embedded in our computer system), which gives you access to our boats without further instruction.

Rather go with a guide?  We specialize in tours that explore interesting aspects of the river.  A "working" river that's still clean enough for river otter and beaver, the Mississippi is a truly unique, underused asset.  And it's right outside our door, within easy walking distance of our boat house! 

How can a Minnesota boat lover survive the winter?  Join one of our "off-season" trips.  We partner with a network of kayak touring and sculling school specialists to provide exciting opportunities in warm climes.

We are a fully insured operation, as well as qualified boat and tour handlers. Safety and skill development are key aspects of our operation.
