You might be a natural-born kayaker! You already have a major appreciation for the water, and enjoy the simple pleasures of exploring it at your own tempo. That isn’t to say that kayaking cannot be challenging (pick the right spot and you can encounter some serious swells and exciting obstacles to paddle past!), but it is easy to pick up and learn at a pace that works for you. Plus, you don’t need too much equipment to get started — simply a kayak, paddle, and a spirit for easygoing adventure. You can easily bring your kayak aboard your Monterey to hop on and explore narrow, meandering paths you encounter on your cruise.
