About us
More time outside. More of the Hamble.
Paddleboard and kayak hire beside the slipway at Swanwick Marina, with a friendly team to help you make the most of the river.
One river, one base, and a lot of happy paddlers
The Paddle Centre sits beside the slipway at Swanwick Marina, on one of Hampshire's prettiest rivers. Our job is simple: to make it easy for people to get out on the Hamble, whether it's their first time on the water or they've paddled for years.
Hire comes first. You choose a paddleboard or a kayak, we fit your buoyancy aid, talk you through the basics and suggest a route that suits you and the tide. When you're back, there's time for a drink and a chat about how it went.
Part of the same family as The SUP Company
We're sister businesses with The SUP Company, which sells paddleboards, kayaks and kit. If a session with us leaves you thinking about your own board, they're a good place to get honest advice. There's no pressure either way: plenty of people simply come back and hire again.
