About Us - Brighton Canoes

Brighton Canoes Ltd was opened in 2004 as part of The Canoe Shops Group. The business quickly developed to become the leading canoe & kayak stores in Sussex & the South East. Brighton Canoes offers & stocks a huge range of kayaking, canoeing and water sports based products & equipment. Our friendly team of staff are all keen kayakers/canoeist’s themselves and are always happy to offer helpful and unbiased advice.

Despite its name Brighton Canoes is actually based in Newhaven a short distance east along the coast from Brighton in East Sussex. In 2012 the business relocated into a new 3500 sq ft. New space has allowed us to further improve the customer experience of shopping with Brighton Canoes with an increased product range & improved display. Customers are free to visit or store for advice and for a chance to try on or sit in products they may be considering purchasing. For further details of our location & how to find us see our Directions page.
