A group of young sailors spending their school holidays on an eight-day tall ship voyage have helped pluck two stranded kayakers from dangerous waters near Hinchinbrook Island.

Two kayakers have been rescued off the North Queensland coast, one of whom was treading water for hours.

Sailing master Robyn Elkington, who was on the South Passage along with 17 teenagers, said the tall ship was called in to rescue the kayakers about midday on Thursday. "All the kids were looking out for the two hard-to-see kayaks in pretty choppy conditions," Ms Elkington said.
