On the water and off, YCC is one of the liveliest

and best kayak clubs in the country.

But you don’t have take our word for it – we’ll admit to being just a tiny bit biased.

Take a look around this site, or better still come and join us in person and find out for yourself!

But that’s just for starters… weekends and holidays are serious playtime and YCC members make the most of them. Club trips are organised throughout the year. We paddle all over England, Wales and Scotland - some of our ‘regulars’ are the Upper Tees, the Kent, the Lune and the Wharfe, but why stop there? Our more advanced paddlers are spoilt for choice on a wet weekend in winter, with the Dales, Lake District and North Wales all in striking distance for a day of adrenaline fuelled entertainment. Out of season we’re regulars at Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham, Teesside, the Tryweryn and the Washburn and we have the pick of some of the finest surf beaches in the Northeast.

If all that sounds a bit run of the mill, how does the paddling abroad grab you? In recent years, YCC paddlers have ripped it up in France, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Canada, Turkey, the USA, Uganda and Zambia and Chile. We’ve even been known to dabble in spot of sea kayaking….

We meet every Wednesday night throughout the year either on the river or in the pool.
After every session, you will always find us enjoying a little liquid refreshment in the Bay Horse on Marygate.
