About
— The Falmouth Canoe Club, located in Falmouth, is a group of kayaking and canoeing enthusiasts who aim to promote a friendly, helpful, and informal atmosphere within the club. They welcome members of all skill levels and offer courses for beginners as well as training and assessments for higher level qualifications.
- Primarily focused on recreational paddling, particularly sea kayaking, the club's goal is to promote the sports of canoeing and kayaking within the local community and beyond. The club boasts a diverse membership from all over the UK and even internationally.
- Safety on the water is a top priority for the Falmouth Canoe Club. As the Falmouth area is a working harbour used by professional and recreational sailors, there is a wide range of competence and awareness among water users. To ensure the safety of its members, the club encourages paddlers to take advice from paddle leaders, stick together, look out for one another, and be aware of other water users.
- The club has access to excellent facilities, including a variety of boats and other equipment stored at the Watersports Centre in Falmouth. This location provides direct access to Falmouth Harbour and Carrick Roads, and the club has a trailer available for transporting boats to various locations around Cornwall, including the North Coast.
- Club paddles take place every Monday night from 6pm at the Watersports Centre during the Spring and Summer months. These paddles offer an opportunity for members to come together, enjoy the sport, and explore the beautiful waters of Falmouth.
- The Falmouth Canoe Club also organises various exciting and adventurous expeditions. In the past, members have completed challenging trips from Falmouth to Plymouth and enjoyed a memorable journey from Hayle to Sennen. Surfing is another popular activity within the club, and kayak surfing will be a central part of the schedule for the upcoming year.
- For those interested in camping, the club offers a fun camping-with-dogs programme, giving members the opportunity to prepare their furry companions for canoeing and camping trips. In addition to leisurely trips on estuaries in Canadian canoes, the club also arranges camping trips to some of the most magnificent parts of the UK, providing kayaking opportunities along the way.
- Social events are a significant part of the Falmouth Canoe Club. From kayaking to beach barbecues in the summer to pool sessions and club nights, the club offers a range of activities for members to engage in and foster a sense of community.

Membership benefits include access to club equipment, such as kayaks, personal flotation devices (PFDs), paddles, and spraydecks.
