Oyster Coast Watersports

Sports operates from the popular town of Whitstable on the North Kent coast. The Thames Estuary provides some challenging boating, not only will you learn great seamanship skills but you will advance your sailing and power boating skills in a beautiful part of the South East. We are an enthusiastic crowd, and have a large amount of kit, on hand. We run numerous courses and are often over subscribed, so please do not leave this to the last minute to book up. We have links to other sports like Canoeing, Sea Kayaking, Kite surfing, Windsurfing, and even the latest sport of SUP (stand up paddle boarding).. We open for hire 7 days a week when it is summer school holidays, spring and autumn we open at the weekends if it is warm, please call before coming to make sure we are open
