About Us

Sea Kayak Shetland is owned and run by Jason Fenn. It is a small and friendly enterprise, offering bespoke Sea Kayaking experiences to beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

Jason has been kayaking for 46 years and started whilst at school. Since then, he has competed in National and International Canoe Polo and Slalom Competitions, represented Wales, dabbled in White Water Racing and surfing and loves being out on the rivers or exploring and guiding on the sea and incredible coastline around Shetland.

During the past 30 years, he managed the biggest indoor climbing centre in Europe, before moving onto spending 25 years with a local council, delivering outdoor activities to a range of clients, many with additional learning needs.

He holds a wide range of Qualifications, including  Advanced Water Sea Kayak Leader, Advanced Water Sea Kayak Coach, Level 3 White Water Coach, NCC Coasteering Guide, The International, Winter and Summer Mountain Leader, Rock Climbing Instructor, Cave Leader,  Off Road Mountain Bike Leader, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Trainer and Assessor. This has seen him also run many trips to the mountains of Scotland in all weather conditions and also to France and Spain.

Angus has lived in Shetland all his life.  He has always enjoyed being on the water and frequently spent his weekends fishing from the family boat when he was young. He has a good knowledge and appreciation of the local environment and wildlife and respects the sea in all its moods.
