**THIS IS A FABULOUS TRIP, PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE SIGNING UP!** This is a paid tour $50 pp to Resilience Paddle Sports. It's called Little Italy because it resembles the shape of Italy on the chart. We will paddle from Hoboken to Little Island, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Is and around the downtown area. We will see the waterfront sculpture Water's Soul in Jersey City. Seeing these sites from the water in a kayak gives an entirely different perspective. There will be ample time to take photos in front of the Statue. You will love how special this is. This tour is for experienced paddlers only with sea kayaks 14' minimum with 2 bulkheads. No SOT's, SUP's, Inflatables, Canoes etc. You must know how to assist/self rescue and be able to paddle 10 miles in a day with wind, boat traffic, wakes, waves, cross channels and stay together in a pod.Experienced paddlers only with sea kayaks 14' minimum with 2 bulkheads.
