Visit the Seaport for a “green” day on the water with an amazing amount of paddling experiences right off our dock. The Foss Waterway Seaport in partnership with the Youth Marine Foundation will offer both paddle board and kayak lessons (see times below). We will offer opportunities to row in Verite - the first Bantry Bay Gig on the West Coast of The United States, and a dragon boat. What is are outrigger canoes and rowing shells you ask...come see both moored at our dock. Need a new hobby - come talk to the people who are out there paddling away. This is an event you DO NOT WANT TO MISS!
