Our mission: Boutique Sea Kayaking Adventures in Italy

At Italy by Kayak, we believe that sea kayaking is more than a sport, it’s a way to connect with nature, culture, and yourself. Our mission is to offer small-group sea kayaking adventures that blend outdoor exploration with comfort, care, and authentic Italian hospitality.

We don't just offer tours, we create experiences. We want you to remember us as the friends and family who showed you the hidden wonders of Italy's coastline. Join our small group adventures and let us take care of every detail, so you can focus on making memories.

Why We Paddle

We paddle to slow down. To feel the rhythm of the sea and reconnect with nature. To explore hidden coves, ancient seaside villages, and the quiet, authentic beauty of Italy’s coastlines, from the wild cliffs and crystal waters of Elba Island to the turquoise bays of Sardinia.

This is sea kayaking in Italy as it should be: intimate, immersive, and deeply rooted in place.

What Makes Us Different

We’re not a tour factory. We’re a small, independent team that puts heart into every detail. Our trips are:

  • Intimate (max 6–8 guests)

  • Led by an ACA-qualified Italian guide

  • Rooted in local knowledge and seasonal rhythms

  • Designed for paddlers who value both adventure and ease

Who Our Trips Are For

Whether you’re a seasoned kayaker or a curious beginner, our trips are for those who:

  • Love the sea and want to explore it respectfully

  • Appreciate good food, good company, and good stories

  • Prefer authentic, small-group travel over mass tourism

Comfort Meets Adventure

We believe you can have both: the thrill of paddling wild coastlines and the joy of returning to a warm meal, a soft bed, and a glass of local wine. Our trips are crafted to nourish body, mind, and spirit.
