Chick and her team have clearly built something special here, with guides like Sky, Aiden, and Simon earning consistent praise for their friendliness and deep knowledge of local birds, shellfish, and Martha's Vineyard ecology. What stands out is how adaptable they are—when weather doesn't cooperate, Chick personally steps in to find great alternatives. The staff handles groups ranging from solo paddlers to families of 14 with equal enthusiasm, making everyone from first-timers to experienced kayakers feel comfortable and safe on the water. The operation runs smoothly whether you're renting equipment or booking a guided tour. Kayaks are ready and waiting when you arrive, online booking is straightforward, and the two-hour tours hit a sweet spot between educational and fun. They offer kayaking, paddleboarding, and even SUP yoga classes with instructor Maggie Maxwell. The pond tours around Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary seem particularly popular, though they also run ocean paddles to places like Oak Bluffs and Edgartown Harbor. People consistently mention feeling the pricing is reasonable and plan return visits, which speaks volumes.
