Lexington Charter Boats has added single and tandem kayaks this summer(2010). Now, I hate to admit it, but I HAVENEVER kayaked before, so I really didnt know exactly what to expect. I had 2 adults and 7 kids(10 — 16 y/o) and I really wanted to try it out. I called ahead and they were very accommodating with our schedule(and even opened early just for us). After talking with them, I felt VERY prepared, despite having no experience myself, and most of the kids hadn’t either. We rented 4 tandems and 1 single(I believe they have 4 tandems and 8 singles to date) and it was PERFECT! No one(not even me) had any trouble getting accustomed to using the kayaks. We were given very good instruction before going out and I felt quite comfortable having everyone out by themselves — even on the big lake. Here are some tips that might be helpful: — I SO wished I had a camera out on the water. A small pocket camera in a ziplock/waterproof bag should be fine — i barely got wet at all. — Obviously, sunscreen is a must, I’d suggest a hat. — it was easy to go ashore and I wish we would have packed a lunch and stopped for a bit to eat — just for the experience. — None of us had a watch(!), so judging how long we were out was a challenge, but that’s probably just us! I would HIGHLY recommend this for just about anyone.
