“Couples that kayak together, stay together” Valerie Waidmann

In today’s fast paced, digitally dominated world, finding quality time to connect with your partner can be challenging. Whether you’re just starting your journey together or celebrating years of togetherness, spending time outdoors can create lasting memories and deepen your bond. That’s why Greg and Valerie, owners and operators of Get Up and Go Kayaking~St Augustine, believe that kayaking is the perfect activity for couples looking to unwind, explore and strengthen their relationship.

Get Up and Go Kayaking’s 100% clear kayaks are the ultimate way to share the kayaking experience with your partner.

Here are 5 reasons why CLEAR KAYAKS are the REAL LOVE BOATS!

1- Shared experiences build stronger bonds!

One of the key ingredients to a successful relationship is shared experiences.

A clear kayaking adventure, like Get Up and Go Kayaking’s Lighthouse Sunset and Glow Tour, offers couples a unique opportunity to explore new environments together, fostering a sense of teamwork and collaboration.

As in life, there will be calm waters and there will be tougher conditions. Regardless, while kayaking in a tandem kayak, you’re working together towards a common goal. Imagine sitting at dinner, after your kayaking adventure, talking about the amazing sunset, the dolphins playing or the challenges you overcame on your paddle…priceless!

Yak Fax- While kayaking with your partner, each has a job to do. The front paddler sets the pace and rhythm. The back paddler navigates and steers the kayak. Neither of the paddlers are the boss…or in charge. It is a true team effort. When the kayak veers off line, it is a function of both paddlers. It takes both to get it back on track.

2-  A chance to disconnect and reconnect!

Instagram! Facebook! TikTok! Emails and texts! It’s easy to get caught up in the digital world and lose contact with your partner. (Even when you are sitting right next to them) Kayaking provides a much-needed escape from the distractions of everyday life. Out on the water, it’s just you, your partner and the natural world around you. Without the constant buzz of technology, you can focus on what truly matters…each other. It’s a chance to disconnect from social media and work, and reconnect with your partner on a more meaningful level.

Yak Fax- Harvard Health Publications says that shared experiences create moments of belonging, as well as offering opportunities to take relationships to even greater levels of trust and intimacy.

3- The beauty of nature enhances romance!

Dolphins, manatee and sea turtles… OH MY!

There’s something undeniably romantic about being surrounded by the beauty of nature. The sound of your kayak gliding through the water, the sight of the sun setting on the horizon or the LED lights illuminating the water through your clear kayak all contribute to the atmosphere of tranquility and intimacy.

Kayaking allows couples to experience these moments together, creating a romantic setting that’s hard to find anywhere else. Whether it’s afternoon paddle or a Sunset and Glow Tour, these moments can become memories that last a lifetime.

Yak Fax- Harvard Health Publications have a long list of benefits that nature provides to relationships. These include increased vitality, reduced stress and many more.

4- A healthy and active way to spend time together. 

Want to burn 500 calories per hour? Just paddle!

Kayaking isn’t just good for your relationship , it’s good for your health too!

Paddling is a full body workout that helps improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles and boost your overall well-being. Engaging in physical activity together is a great way to stay healthy while also spending quality time with your partner. Plus, the endorphins released during exercise can enhance your mood, making your time together even more enjoyable .

Yak Fax- In an article entitled Grab Your Paddle, Harvard health Publications shares that kayaking is a whole-body effort. It works your core, back, arms and shoulders.

LET’S GO!!

Adding a little adventure to your relationship can reignite the spark between you and your partner. Kayaking offers the perfect mix of excitement and tranquility, giving couples the chance to step out of their comfort zones and experience something new together. The thrill of exploring uncharted waters or discovering hidden coves can bring a sense of spontaneity and passion to your relationship and keep the romance alive!

Yak Fax- We say it again… couples that paddle together, stay together!

Valerie and I see it time and time again…couples begin the journey struggling to work together and keep the kayak moving forward. But, after a short amount of time and communication, they find a common ground and begin to paddle like pros!

We invite you to try it for yourselves.

Kayaking is more than just a water activity. It’s an experience that brings couples closer together. From building trust and communication to enjoying the beauty of nature, kayaking offers countless benefits for couples looking to strengthen their bond. So, if you’re searching for the perfect way to connect with your partner…look no further!
