Registration is now open for the 2025 Saaremaa Kayak Festival.

Come and take time off at the largest kayak fest in the Nordics-Baltics!

You can participate in the whole package of kayak events over the long weekend or opt to do single tracks of your choosing:
-  free of charge safety training at Kuressaare Harbor (18 July 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.). It is primarily intended for those who have little experience with kayaking at sea and plan to participate in the sea kayaking marathon. In the workshop, we will do self-rescue and other rescues with a kayak. You can join with your own equipment (recommended) or watch the action from the shore.

Do you wish to paddle in a group?
I intend to participate in birdwatching, see information on the special prize
I confirm that I can swim, have read the safety instructions and that I am participating in the race on my own risk
I am aware that if the weather forecast for the marathon day (Saturday) is unfavorable, the marathon will take place on the following day (Sunday) and the participation fee will not be refunded in this case. If strong winds (9-13 m/s) are expected throughout the whole weekend of 19 to 20 July, then the marathon will take place on a 'plan B track' (24 km) that provides more shelter from open sea waves as it is mostly located in the fairway of the Kuressaare Harbor, Nasva River, and Mullutu lake. If the weather is stormy throughout the weekend, then the marathon will be postponed for safety reasons to the next weekend. If the registered participant cannot participate in the marathon the next weekend and informs the organizer about it in advance by way of sending an e-mail to meremaraton@gmail.com, the participation fee already paid will be refunded. Changes in the time of the event will be communicated to all registered participants via e-mail and posted on the Facebook account of the Abruka Sea Kayak Marathon.
