SEOUL, May 16 (Korea Bizwire) — The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Monday it will launch a marine sports tryout program every weekend from June 3-Sept. 3.
The program will offer tryouts for sailboats, stand-up paddle boats, and kayaks.
Additionally, the city government will introduce the Black Cat Yacht program, which entails a scenic cruise along the Han River, stopping at Banpo, Sebit floating islands, Nodeul Island, and Yeouido.
Participants will have the opportunity to capture photos and savor snacks during the trip.
