About Sea Trek

Connecting people to the water since 1982

Our Story

Bob Licht founded Sea Trek in 1982. It was the first commercial sea kayaking business in California. The company is now run by Bob’s son, Galen, who continues the commitment to service and safety that has made Sea Trek such a success. By hiring friendly, professional guides and working to develop relationships with our clients, Sea Trek maintains the personal touch of a family business even as its services and options continue to expand. We now offer classes, trips, and rentals for both kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Whatever your skill level and experience, you will find the Sea Trek staff ready to help make your adventure safe and enjoyable.

Because of YOU and your love of paddling with us, we have been able to be an active leader in our communities for over 40 years. Together, we are helping to create a more sustainable, protected, and healthy bay. All the deeper personal experiences we have shared on the water, enriching connections with nature and people while adventuring, and education and awareness building has made a difference. We all feel it. In 2017, we stepped it up and launched Sea Trek CARES™ in order to focus even more resources on promoting, encouraging, and providing increased opportunities for greater community involvement and collaboration for bay conservation and stewardship.

Beginning April 2024, Sea Trek will start operating a second location from Ballena Isle Marina on the West Side of Alameda. We are looking forward to a new chapter in Sea Trek’s history!

Celebrating 40 years!
