JK Kayak

Joe and Chris are the dynamic duo! I had a blast on my one hour kayak tour in Cold Spring Harbor! I’ll be back!

Joe & Chris were fantastic! This was my first experience kayaking and I was little apprehensive before we arrived and instantly felt at ease. They explained everything really well before we went out on the water, making sure we had the right hand placement and technique. They were also very informative out on the water giving us tips on weather/​wave gaging and how to advance our stride. My husband and I loved the two hour session and swore to go again with them next year. Truly enjoyed every minute of this friendly and knowledgable experience, and will recommend it to all of my friends and family.
Upon reading a negative review I would also like to add this. I personally received plenty of notification (at least three emails stating) that before the day of our trip we needed to check the site for weather cancelations. So do consider that this is an outdoor activity when making the purchase. Hah.

My friend and I did the 2 hour tour in Cold Spring Harbor and it was fantastic. The guys from JK Kayak are very friendly and knowledgeable. They take time before you even get in the kayak to go over strokes, how to stop, how to turn, etc. I learned a lot and then had plenty of time out on the water to practice. I was very impressed with them and will definitely be going out with them again in the future.

Going kayaking was on my bucket list and JK Kayaking didn’t disappoint! After a lesson we got into our kayaks and got on the water. There was plenty of help and guidance for some of the people who weren’t as proficient and everyone was paddling around in no time. We saw all kinds of wildlife and Joe pointed out many interesting sights. Those who were really getting the hang of kayaking, were given advanced lessons as the tour went on! Thank you for such a wonderful intro to kayaking; I will be back!

An excellent way to spend an afternoon. We went out this afternoon and had a fantastic time. I had never been in a kayak before and it was so easy to do. Nothing beats spending a couple of hours out on the water and this was a whole lot of fun. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Get there early and enjoy the day.

Did a 2 hour tour in Cold Spring Harbor… it was wonderful!
This was my 1^st time going out with JK Kayak. Joe, Tom and Mike were fantastic and the scenery could not be better!
Great job!

My fiancé and I went on the 2 hour kayak trip at Gold Star Battalion Beach this past Saturday. It was such a great experience! They are informative and make you feel at ease while out on the water. We can’t wait to try out another tour!

Went for a 2 hour trip up in Cold Spring Harbor on 07÷18÷15. Trip was at 11am and it was pouring out at 10am. Since I had a long ride to get there, I left a message and e-​mailed the company. Joe responded to both that the weather was supposed to clear by 11. Sure enough, when we arrived at CSH, the weather was fine. After getting instructions on both using a kayak and kayak safety, we were off on our 2 hour kayak trip. The instructors were very good and knew their stuff. For first time kayakers, both my wife and I had a great time and look forward to going with JK Kayak again in the near future.

Took a Kayak Tour at Steppingstone Marina in Great Neck yesterday with Joe Parisi. It was our first time out in a Kayak. There were a total of 8 of us in the group. Him and his wife were great. So patient and knowledgeable. They taught us how to sit and use the oars before we got in the water. Once we were all out in the water he stayed with all of us and showed us where to go and what to do. It was a great morning and a beautiful tour. We are so glad we learned how to Kayak with JK Kayak. We would definitely go out with them again soon!

Third (or fourth?) trip out with Joe and Joey and they continue to be so knowledgeable, patient, great teachers, concerned about others safety as well as making sure people are having a great time! So relaxing, and what a great way to see nature ! Been on the Cold Spring Harbor (1 hour) and Gold Batallion Beach (2 hour) tours but NOTHING beats the three hour in Southampton! Hope to see you soon Joe and Co!

I absolutely love going kayaking with Joe and Joey. They give you great instruction and it is a most relaxing venue when doing the South Hampton trip. Looking forward to trying SUP with them.

Great tour out with Joey. Really relaxing and enjoyable. Both Joey and his dad were very friendly and personable. Would recommend to friends and would definitely go again.

We took the tour last Sunday in Cold Spring Harbor. Joe and his son Joey were great and the trip was very relaxing and educational. Our 14 year old even enjoyed it and was at ease on the water. It was obvious that safety was a high priority and stressed from start to finish. I would highly recommend JK Kayak for a nice family trip.

So much fun and so relaxing. Joe and his son were great guides and really made it a great experience. I had never been kayaking before so I was nervous but they put me at eas and were so careful of everyone on the water. I was last in the group and they did not pressure me. I can’t wait to go again.

This company is completely missing the point. As a customer, it is not my job to double check on your end. I was not made aware to check your website if there were any weather consideration. Therefore I am only left to believe that your company is unprofessional in the way it handles cancelations of a tour. Furthermore, following the posting of my review, I received this message from one of JK Kayak’s employees «i gotta tell you dude, your review is cowardly. middle school cyber bullies do things like that. you would never talk back to an immature customer like you, the way joe did, because you’re a wimp. i had a great time with this company, as well as all of the people who recommended it to me. your little diary entry wasn’t private, it was a pansy way to not take responsibility for you not checking the website, which now publicly affects the reviews of this company. The right thing to do, would be to contact joe and apologize to him. if customers you dealt with did this to you, you’d cry.» I would strongly recommend that all customers refrain from using JK Kayaks.
