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.
