About Us

The Virginia Sea Kayak Center was created due to our passion about kayaking and enjoy helping others expand their skills and experiences on the water. We have a combined background of more than 20 years of kayaking experience, with additional boating and canoeing backgrounds as well.

The Virginia Sea Kayak Center is led by Ed Schiller, a name familiar to many Virginia sea kayakers. Ed bring's a wealth of teaching and paddling experience to all clients and strives to make every outing safe, fun and educational.

Ed is an ACA Open Water Coastal Kayaking instructor, ACA Coastal Kayaking Instructor Trainer, BCU 4* Sea certified and aVIMS/DEQ Certified Virginia EcoTour Guide. He is also a CPR and First Aid instructor. When he's not on the water Ed works as a military contractor in the modeling and simulation world. Outdoor photography and woodworking are two of Ed's other longtime passions.

The Virginia Sea Kayak Center is committed to outstanding customer service, increasing kayak skills and safety, and above all, enjoying our time on the water - with you!
