About Sea Trek

Connecting people to the water since 1982

Our Story

Your Partner in Paddling Experiences Since 1982

Sea Trek pioneered commercial sea kayaking in California when Bob Licht founded the company in 1982. His son Galen now leads Sea Trek, upholding our core values of safety, exceptional service, and a personal touch. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a beginner, our friendly guides create a welcoming and unforgettable experience. Explore the bay your way with our kayak and SUP rentals, classes, exciting tours, and incredible Baja adventures.

Our Mission

Sea Trek provides enriching paddling experiences that foster deeper connections to nature, friends, family, and self while cultivating environmental stewardship and caring for our communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

Sharing Our Love of the Bay (and Beyond!)

With your support, we’ve championed bay conservation and community for over 40 years. Sea Trek CARES™, launched in 2017, embodies our deep commitment to protecting these waters. Join us in preserving the bay through education, stewardship, and incredible on-the-water adventures – both locally and in stunning destinations like Baja.
