Welcome to Castle Canoe Club

The Castle Canoe Club is an open and friendly adult canoe club for those that want to paddle canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. We welcome everyone from beginners to the more experienced paddler.

You need to be a member to paddle with us. If you are not a member, you need to do an induction session regardless of your paddling experience. The induction will tell you more about the club, how things work and where things go. It also includes two additional sessions which you can come to, to help you decide whether or not to join. Once you’ve done induction, you can join.

Members can paddle during our club hours (10:00-13:00 on Sunday mornings all year and Tuesdays 18:00-20:00 in Summer) and use a wide range of kayaks, canoes and paddle-boards provided. Members can also come on trips (river, whitewater, sea; see calendar; and hire boats if needed), come on occasional courses, get a discount on courses run by the West Reservoir Centre, and bring guests (limited, and for a fee).

Saturday, 30th May: Club member trip on the Medway from Tonbridge to Yalding.
07:30-19:30: With spring in the air, this is a lovely time of year to get out on the water for this classic paddle trip for SUP, canoe and kayaks. The trip is planned for the River Medway on Saturday 30th May.

The trip runs from Tonbridge to Yalding, following the river downstream and covering around 15km of waterway. The route passes through the scenic Kent countryside. There are several locks along the route, which can either be portaged or passed using canoe chutes. The trip finishes at a pub beside the river, which is a great place to have a meal after a long paddle.

If you are interested, please fill out the Medway Form.

If you have any queries chat to Dave Driver, Barbara or Nina on the water or email info@castlecanoeclub.co.uk
