Blackfish Sea Kayaking, owned and operated
by Paul and Gina is now in its 12th year of business making it the
longest running kayak company on the entire North Coast by 8 years.
Paul, our lead guide has over 25 years of real paddling experience,
soloing over two-thirds of the B.C. coast including challenging,
long distance expeditions such as the entire West Coast of Vancouver
Island, a 300 km. trip from Prince Rupert to Bella Bella and many
others including the bottom of Haida Gwaii (Ninstints) and into
the Haisla Traditional Territory of the Kitlope. Gina has been paddling
with Paul as well as on her own kayak trips for the last 15 years.
Blackfish is the only sea kayak company to offer overnight trips
and expeditions on the North Coast. Our strengths include Paul and
Gina's experience, Blackfish's agreements with both Tsimshian First
Nations, small group size, and top quality equipment including paddling
with all Seaward fibreglass kayaks. (www.seawardkayaks.com).
Our fleet includes our own kayaks (Gina paddles a Luna and Paul
paddles an Ascente), 2 Luna singles for paddlers up to about 160
pounds, 2 Tyee singles for larger paddlers, a very stable Southwind
double and a sporty Passat G3 double. Our trips leave from our dock
at Cow Bay next to the Atlin Cruise Ship Terminal in Prince Rupert.
We supply all of the paddling gear and safety equipment including
life jackets and have lots of other gear to borrow. A gear list
and itinerary for our trips is available. We'll even make a seafood
dinner the first and last nights. |

Blackfish is proud of our long relationship with the Coast Tsimshian
First Nations. We work closely with the Coast Tsimshian First
Nations in the Prince Rupert area and have agreements with both
the Metlakatla First Nation and the Hereditary Chiefs of the Allied
Tsimshian Tribes to paddle in their Traditional Territory.
Our company meets all Canadian Coast Guard regulations. Safety
is our most important responsibility.
Blackfish is an authorized dealer for new Seaward Kayaks and equipment
(www.seawardkayaks.com).
Talk to us first and let us see what we can do. Our low overhead
allows us to beat other prices and our experience will match you
with the right kayak. We can expedite transportation to the North
or offer discounts for kayaks picked up at the factory in Chemainus.
