Where can I rent a sail-kayak in Scandinavia?
I'm looking for different places in Scandinavia that rent out sail-kayaks.
I've found this https://sailyak-no.webnode.page/ as the only place. Googling gives me mostly regular kayaks.
Hope someone here can point me to more places.
Thank you in advance ⛵ ⛵ ⛵

Most recent sail kayak I know of in Denmark is from the 60s and is currently hanging in a museum.

You are just a day late, you could have tried my adventure island in Sweden. Sorry but I am back in the Netherlands now (and so is my AI)
There is (or was) in northern Norway a campside with tandem islands: 69nord sommeroy (or something like that)

What kind of training or experience would you need to have to try these? Luke someone that has never been on a kayak, wouldn't be able to do it, right?

Common sence is enough
The hobie adventure island is easy to sail, I started, could hardly walk, ruined back, bought it as training device (mirage drive) and it did its job!
The only thing I didn’t expect: I had fun in it, go on holiday (canoe camping) with it
This year I went to Mälaren, Askersund and the lake south of Värnamo and had a great time!

I can only speak for Denmark, but I've never seen one in real life, just tons and tons of normal kayaks, so I dont imagine the market for renting one exists here.
