Established in 2016 by a group of qualified coaches looking to provide SUP & Canoe sessions in an idyllic location. 

At YOFI Paddlesports we offer hourly canoe & SUP hire sessions. We are a member of British Canoeing and can now deliver nationally accredited paddle sport sessions.

We are part of Ye Old Ferrie Inn in Symonds Yat West on the banks of the River Wye. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the River Wye was the birthplace of tourism over 250 years ago with the first package holidays introduced. The area is still incredibly popular with visitors, providing excellent geography for paddlers, walkers, climbers and cyclists, making it an ideal location for a ‘staycation’.

Ye Old Ferrie Inn dates back to the 15th century and has been a predominant feature in the area. After being flooded in February 2020, YOFI has had a remarkable facelift and provides an idyllic setting to enjoy excellent food and drink to fuel your adventures.

There is also accommodation to provide you with a base for your staycation, which you can find more information and book at www.yeoldferrieinn.com.
