Default Seakayaking for beginners

It might not be dangerous per se, as long as you stay near populated areas.
I think your primary problems are going to be general camping/touring stuff
versus on the water stuff. I'd suggest you, at the very least, learn how to
do affect a rescue and get back into a swamped boat.

Hi everybody!

I'm totally new to seakayaks, but not to sealife, having sailed and
generally navigated for many years (more than 20).
Me and my girlfriend would like to go on vacation in the Mediterranean Sea
renting a seakayak. We'd like to use it for coast excursions, camping on
beaches or similar, so never going from island to island, in the open sea.

Do you think this would be anyway dangerous, given a normal attention to

sea
signs (avoiding navigation with bad weather or windy/wavy days)?

I'd like to understand if it is totally mad to go out for a two weeks
seakayak vacation, having no prior experience.

Thank you in advance for any advice and experience report.

Bye,
Fabio
