Activities for Groups at Ocean Sports Centre

AT OCEAN SPORTS CENTRE OUR GROUP ACTIVITIES ARE THE PERFECT WAY TO ENTERTAIN AT THE BEACH.

Our traditional four-man and six-man Hawaiian canoes are great for getting teams of people out on the water and messing around. As are our giant 8 person Mega SUP’s!

Our group activities are none stop fun packed multi-experience packages. A smorgasbord of water sports are to be had from single SUP and Mega SUP Races to kayak chaos and Hawaiian canoeing with a bit of walking the Ama for thrills – with half day and full day options available we are able to cater for all your needs whether you are a small group, an extended family, a school or stag & hen groups looking for some daytime entertainment.

Our group sessions are created by working with you and coming up with a bespoke set of activities tailored to your group’s requirements and abilities. If you would like to just book a single activity please scroll down the page and choose from one of the off the shelf options. If you would like something a like more special, or you have a group that is too big to fit an off the shelf solution please contact us using the form below. We would love to help you.

MEGA SUP

Our two Mega SUP’s are the most fun you can have out on the water as a group or family all together – whether its bombing around the bay, sunning yourselves while sitting or laying on the board or simply using it as a dive platform you will return with broad grins and jelly like legs!

Please be aware that for your safety a minimum age is required (8yrs) and that hire must be supervised by an adult – please ask our team at the beach if you have any alternative requirements.

Kayak Explorer Tour

Our sit-on kayaks are the perfect craft to get up close and personal with the magical coastline of St Ives Bay. Your tour guide will be able to take you over toward the bustling harbour of St. Ives taking in Bamaluz and Porthgwidden beach.

On the tour, you might see some of the local common seals who are globally rare frequenting Porthminster point or even see a sun fish breach! If you are really lucky you might get a special glimpsing of one of our family of indigenous bottle nose dolphins who live in the bay as they hunt and play.

The Kayak Coastal Explorer lasts for approximately 2hrs and will give you a unique view of the St Ives Coastline… don’t forget your GoPro!

Hawaiian Canoe

If you want flexibility to paddle all together or cover longer distances with greater ease then our Hawaiian Canoes are the go. Sat on seats above the water in an open decked canoe is ideal for families and groups and better suited to anyone where sitting in a kayak affects their back. With its additional outrigger arm this super stable craft is fantastic for the less gun hoe out on the water. Chances of getting wet; zero (unless you choose to ‘walk the Ama’).

Each canoe is booked individually, we can take a minimum of two people or up five in either one of our four or six person canoes

  • Guide
  • Paddle
  • Changing facilities on the beach
  • Wetsuits are not required for this craft – please make sure that you have a change of clothes just in case your partner splashes you!

We have two tour options for you; Sea Life Explorer (1hr within Carbis bay beach) and the Coastal Explorer (2hrs, beyond the bay!).

If you would like any information about booking a group, please email us with as much information as possible (click the email button below) or you can call us on 01736 794782.
We keep safety at the core of all your fun and shenanigans with group ratios of 1:8 (8+ = two instructors, 16+ = three instructors etc). Please remember that while we will always accommodate your group and ensure you have a great time, we can’t control the weather, so in some cases and in the interests of safety, we may need to modify or even cancel specific activities.
