FAQs

Will I get wet?

To some extent, yes. There is often a certain amount of splash-and-drip associated with paddling.  For on-top kayakers, butts and feet get damp/wet, so a change of clothes is recommended. We launch from a dock specially designed for easy access so you don’t have to step into the water.  If you’re on a guided night paddle, the Angel Island Crossing, Golden Gate & Back, or Paddle the Gate trips, we use traditional double kayaks, so your lower half inside the kayak remains relatively dry.

What about capsizing the kayak or falling off the paddleboard?

Both are extremely rare when renting or taking one of our guided trips. All of our guided kayak trips take place in stable, traditional, two-person kayaks (larger and steadier than river kayaks). The popular image of kayaks bobbing through rapids, and flipping upside-down is common to river kayaking but not bay kayaking. Keep in mind, however, if you participate in our skills courses, you will be learning and practicing rescue techniques that require overturning your boat or falling off your paddleboard.

Is kayaking or paddleboarding difficult?

No. Kayaking and Stand Up paddling are highly accessible. Our friendly, supportive staff will teach you the simple, necessary skills you need in order to enjoy your time on the water.

Is it strenuous?

Only if you so choose. Kayaks and paddleboards glide easily with little physical effort in calm conditions. Sea Trek trips are designed so that participants don’t overexert themselves and travel is at a leisurely pace. Will you be safe? All clients wear a lifejacket (or PFD personal flotation device). For all trips and classes, you will be accompanied by an instructor/guide trained in first aid. Sea Trek has an unblemished safety record.

Will I need any special gear or equipment?

Sea Trek provides all your basic kayaking or Stand Up paddling gear such as boat or board, paddles, and lifejackets. Wetsuits are provided for certain classes/trips. Please select the “What To Bring” tab above to see a list of suggested clothing and items to bring.

Can children participate?

Yes. Children of any age can kayak together with an adult, depending on the skill and confidence of the adult. Sea Trek offers programs (trips and camps) specifically designed for kids.

What's the largest group size you accomodate?

We can accommodate up to 160 paddlers going in two different sessions or up to 80 going in the same sessions.

Becoming a member of SeaTrek has changed our lives. It's given us a safe and easy way to be out on the water and for our three and five year old boys to explore, learn about marine wild life and have a sense of adventure. The people who work at SeaTrek are all incredibly warm and knowledgeable and have made our whole family feel welcome. During the pandemic this has been a lifeline for us. I can't recommend SeaTrek or being on Richardson Bay enough.

If you're staying in Sausalito or are looking for a great spot to get on the water during your stay in San Francisco this is a great spot! You're able to complete the waiver on line ahead of time (or as a group we were able to) and the safety speech was quick but thorough! We saw seals and a variety of birds and enjoyed being able to explore on our own. You're able to choose between kayaking and stand up paddle boards and the equipment is in good shape.

Repeat customer here. Book online ahead of time, and it’s a breeze to check in and get out in the water. We have used single and double kayaks (not the traditional kind) with adults and tweens / teens.

Fantastic company to rent from and great day kayaking! I have rented several times from Seatrek and every time has been so easy and hassle free. Today I took my dog for the first time and everyone was wonderful and helpful making it a perfect day on the water for us. If you are looking for a great single, couple, or group/family outing I highly recommend renting from seatrek.

Went here for me recent birthday! Try to go when it's not windy! The first half was call. We went to the houseboats and to see the cute seals! Coming back, it got a little windy but it was definitely a great workout! We are in shape and used to rowing so it wasn't a big deal, just ask or look up weather conditions before reserving a time.

Great experience! Staff were friendly, and we had a smooth, fun time kayaking. We especially liked kayaking around the house boats, which were cook to see. They recommend making reservations in advance, which was easy to do online.

Loved kayaking in Sausalito. Saw a bunch of cute seals and birds. Water can get choppy when it’s windy. Easy to board and get off the kayak. They had a small life jacket for our dog as well!
