Craig is an ISKGA Coastal Guide and a British Canoeing Advanced Sea Kayak Leader, as well as a British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach. Craig first discovered his love for the ocean learning to sail and racing dinghies on the Solent, and going on to represent Great Britain on the international stage in his youth. A move to the Orkney islands opened the door to sea kayaking, where he has spent much of his time exploring rugged coastlines and remote islands. Craig thrives when exploring the dynamic edge between the sea and land, and his passion for expedition in these wild seascapes is rooted in a deep connection with the ocean and the simple sense of freedom you can find there. Craig has paddled extensively in Scotland, as well as in Ireland, England and Norway.

For Craig, every expedition is an opportunity to learn, build skills and deepen our understanding of the sea and ourselves within it. He aims to share that same sense of connection and perspective with those who join him on the water.
