Lessons
At Moss Bay, we offer sets of two or four 90 minute lessons designed to cover the basic skills necessary to kayak, sail, or row in a fun, efficient, and safe way. Class sizes at our Seattle boathouse are very small to maximize individual attention. Participants learn water safety and boat handling techniques that give them the confidence to freely paddle equipment in other locations without supervision. Individual private lessons are also available.
