Maddy Marquardt — Sea Kayaking, Storytelling & the Hidden Midwest
Meet Maddy Marquardt — sea kayak guide, photographer, and outdoor storyteller.
We met Maddy at Friendly Valley Beach in northern Wisconsin, a special place for her and her partner, just south of the Apostle Islands, where she has been guiding sea kayaking trips for about eight years. From discovering her love of adventure in the Midwest to leading women’s-specific trips on land and water, Maddy shares the experiences that have shaped her career and deepened her connection to nature. She explores the unique challenges and rewards of sea kayaking, the art of storytelling through photography and writing, and the importance of creating supportive spaces for women in male-dominated outdoor sports. Along the way, she highlights the hidden beauty of the Midwest and shares practical insights on building confidence and community through adventure.
