Sultana Projects offers both canoe and kayak-based programs at various locations around the Chesapeake. These programs use either a traveling rig of 10 canoes or a separate rig of 15 kayaks.

Which type of watercraft is better for your group - canoe or kayak? Here are a few important factors to consider when making your decision:

Canoe Programs

- Canoe programs can accommodate up to 25 student participants or 18 adult participants.

 

- Canoe programs more easily accommodate participants that are new to paddling or are uncertain on the water.

 

- Canoe programs can accommodate groups ages 6th grade and up. Groups as young as 3rd grade can be considered with sufficient adult supervision.

Kayak Programs

- Kayak programs can accommodate a maximum of 12 participants.

 

- Operating a kayak can be more strenuous than operating a canoe.

 

- Kayaks are limited to one person each, so every person in your group must be comfortable paddling alone.

 

- Two sizes of kayaks are available: 9.5’ and 12’. Kayaks have a strict weight limit of 250-300 pounds

 

- The minimum age for a kayak program is 7th grade.
