As I paddle and mothership around the San Juan Islands I notice that virtually all the guided tours have the clients in doubles. I guess this is understandable as a double typically offers greater primary stability when the great unknown is the paddling experience of the clients. It also means fewer boats in the stable and, on the water, fewer boats to keep track of. Maybe the trick is to rent kayaks first... then sign up for a guided tour.
