Training and Kayak Hire centre

Conveniently located right on the beach at 37 Jetty Rd, Sandringham. Sandringham Harbour is a great venue to learn the fundamentals of sea kayaking and is a good base for hiring craft to explore Port Phillip Bay. If you are new to sea kayaking or wondering how you might take it up, come down to the centre and have a chat with our friendly staff.
