Paddlefish Adventure's Mission Statement Our mission is to provide safe, enjoyable and high quality adventure days for the whole family. We aim to uncover the hidden gems of the North Cornish coastline, all the while respecting the local environment and wildlife, and cultivating a "green" philosophy in our guests. On our kayak tours, novices will be given a taste of this fantastic sport in a wonderful location and more experienced paddlers will be given the opportunity of experiencing kayaking in a unique and exciting manner. Robert & Kelly Broderick, Partners Your Skipper The partners of Paddlefish Adventure, Bob and Kelly Broderick (father and daughter) have both worked on or around the sea for their whole lives and boast a comprehensive knowledge of the local environment and coastline. Bob has been an RYA qualified skipper for over 40 years, having worked as both a tripping boat skipper and a commercial fisherman in Newquay. He is highly skilled within his domain and knows everything there is to know about tides, currents, navigation, fishing and his home turf - Cornwall! He is an absolute mine of information and can tell endless and fascinating tales about the coastline that we explore. Your Guide Kelly, as a fisherman's daughter, was virtually brought up at sea! Her enthusiasm for and dedication to water sports enable her to be a highly competent and motivated guide that will ensure you enjoy your day as much as possible and in complete safety. She is a BCU qualified Kayaking guide and, in addition, holds a PADI Diving certification - further enhancing her knowledge of and respect for the sea. She is also working towards her RYA Skipper certification and is continuing to train within the area of Kayaking in order to reach the level of a BCU 5* Coach. Bob and Kelly hold your safety, comfort and enjoyment as their paramount concern during your time aboard "The Adventuress". The Adventuress "The Adventuress" is a specially adapted "Lochin 33" workboat with twin 318bhp engines. There is an overhead rack for the kayaks which covers half of the deck space and provides shelter for rainy days. A door has been built into the stern of the boat leading to a ramp to enable kayakers to safely and easily exit and re-enter the boat. There are areas to sit and there is also a fully flushing marine toilet on board! A stock of cold drinks, water and snacks are available to buy in addition to the lunch or snack that is included in your adventure (Please see the Adventures page for the inclusions on your trip). And the best bit - "The Adventuress" is a fast and fun, yet very steady, boat on which you are far less likely to be seasick than most other types of boat!
