Fun

Kayaking is the way to see Maine

We don’t have a lot of hot weather in Maine but when we do, the best place to be is in a boat on the cool and breezy ocean.

Safe

Guided tours give peace of mind

Our crew of Licensed Maine Guides will teach you the basics and keep you safe while we explore harbors, lakes and islands.

Educational

You might just learn something

We hire our guides for their gift of local knowledge and each has a specialty: bird life, marine mammals, local history, even best places to eat in town.

We offer professionally guided coastal Maine sea kayaking trips and tours for individuals, families, and groups of all ages and skill levels. Our experienced guides will teach you the basics and fun of sea kayaking. This ensures your maximum comfort and safety while exploring the marine life and birds of the biologically diverse and beautiful Penobscot and Muscongus Bays of mid-coast Maine.

However, we’re not only about salt water. Midcoast Maine has some wonderful lakes for exploring by sea kayak and SUP. The water is clean and warm for swimming and there’s plenty of wildlife. Come explore both with Breakwater Kayak this summer!

We provide well-trained registered Maine guides and top-quality equipment for your safety, comfort, and enjoyment for your sea kayaking adventure on the Maine Coast.

The equipment is well maintained, and the route is fun and interesting. Even got to see some harbour seals, and lots of ospreys. Two thumbs way up.

I had a private 1-1 tour with Mark and was blown away by the experience. We paddled for several hours. Saw seals, and explored going a shore on isolated islands. Truly magic time, with an AMAZING guide! Highly recommended!! Book it

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Breakwater Kayak never fails to provide the best experience! We are three Texas women ( of a certain age😎) who love Maine and all it has to offer! Mark provided us with an absolutely delightful day of kayaking, bird watching, geographical and historical information and an island picnic lunch. Best of all is his bright smile, patience and strength 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 as he helped each of us awkwardly get in and out of our kayaks! Thank you so much Mark. Until next summer…👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻❤️

His instruction was so helpful and he was full of knowledge, and the boats were in great shape. Mark is such a nice guy and we highly recommend going out on the water with him for the day!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our time on the water. We are not experienced kayakers, so we appreciated the thorough safety & skills lesson at the beginning. Sea kayaks are different than others we have tried, but we got the hang of it quickly. Our guide was friendly and informative. Two in our group are seniors and one 12 year-old. We all had a great time paddling amid the sailboats and around the harbor. For sure worth the effort and the price. We have great memories and fun photos. Next time we visit Rockland, we hope to do this again.
