Williamstown Social Paddle Doubleheader

Join us for a really fun social paddle in and around the beautiful waterways of Williamstown, with a coffee stop at Gem Pier.

Option 1:

Beginner friendly 5km at 8.30am Launching from the Williamstown boat ramps in Newport. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qD2Bg5qAC5RhoWcg9?g_st=ic

The 5km paddle is open to any level of paddlers. This is beginner friendly.

Option 2:

Intermediate 10km paddle at 7.30am Launching from under the Westgate bridge at the Punt Ferry Jetty (in Port Melbourne) https://maps.app.goo.gl/Lu4hP7Ay2zzmoABW6?g_st=ic

We will paddle along the shipping channel over into Hobsons bay, where we’ll paddle through all the sailing boats, then stopping at Gem Pier for a coffee stop, before paddling back upstream to our start points.

The 10km paddle requires Medium level fitness. You may work up a sweat on the return paddle back upstream, due to the currents. We’ll be paddling across the main shipping channel, so confidence in deep water is required.

Safety gear:

• All paddlers must have a leg rope one.
• 10km paddles MUST also have a PFD/Life Jacket. We have PDFs for hire (free for club members).

We will monitor all ship movements and stay well clear of any moving ships.

Please arrive no later than 30 mins before the paddle launch time, so you can set up your board. Pre paddle briefings happen 10 mins before we launch.
