Review from Ben B.
2/3/2011
For someone who lives on the coast, I tend to shy away from most situations that could push me even slightly closer to a whale encounter than sitting in my own living room with all the drapes shut. That said, I put on my big boy pants and shipped out via bus to Prospect with all of my coworkers for a rare day under the sun and on the water.
Everyone at ECO was really friendly, happy, and seemed to really like what they were doing which is a great first start to a day of adventure. They got us set up in our kayaks (almost everyone had to go in a tandem which I didn't love at first...but then loved a lot once my arms got really tired halfway through), gave us a quick crash course on steering, and shipped us out. The tour was leisurely, offered plenty of time for pictures, and was manageable for everyone despite the varying skill levels-plus it didn't hurt that it was an absolutely beautiful day!
After the on-the-water portion, we were allowed to hang out on site to have our own little dinner party on the beautiful patio. Being able to bring along our own food saved us a TON of money. The only complaints though would be that the bathrooms are definitely for the more adventurous and there's no fridge to keep beer cold. Aside from that? We had a great time and were proud of ourselves for doing something different for a change! -

First time on a kayaking trip and enjoyed and half day tour at ECO very much, the guides were entertaining, safe and made sure all levels were included. Beautiful scenery and knowledgeable staff, will go back!

East Coast Outfitters specializes in Sea Kayaking.
You will see them taking groups of people through the islands around prospect.
Although sometimes, they do not seem to have any etiquette when pulling up to the beaches on the island. The take the whole beach, so no one else can access the shoreline. It is a heck of a lot easier to move a Kayak than to manoeuvre a boat. I have personally seen this on numerous occassions.
If East Coast Outfitters is reading this, please remember, some people lived here long before you started your business here.
Please respect this, so everyone can enjoy the great outdoors, share the beach line, don't hog!
