Rental Reservations
Step 1. Equipment:
Select ‘single/ double kayak or SUP – number of people’. What’s important is that you enter the number of people in your group here. Although it mentions “single/double kayak or SUP” you cannot choose your craft until you arrive at Sea Trek. Generally we have plenty of availability to meet your preference.
Step 2. Duration:
The default is 1:00. No need to change this as you can stay out as long as you want but must return before closing time. However, if needed, a trick to open up more time slots is to change the duration to 0:30. Again you can stay out longer.
Step 3. Start At:
Select day and time slot. Green means available and white means we are sold out for that time slot.
Step 4. Billing information:
Enter your credit card information. You won’t be charged until after your paddle.
If you have a Book of Time (pre-paid rental hours) or are a member you can let us know when you arrive.
Step 5. Complete Reservation.
If you need to cancel or change your reservation please email us at paddle@seatrek.com

Your rental covers the kayak, paddle, and the life jacket. There are a variety of kayak styles to choose from:
SIT-ON-TOP SEA KAYAKS
SINGLES & DOUBLES
Sit-on-top kayaks are an excellent option if you are new to kayaking. As the name suggests, you sit on top of them rather than inside them, and they are very good at staying upright and afloat. They are self-bailing, so you can use them without having any past experience on a kayak.
TRADITIONAL SEA KAYAKS
SINGLES & DOUBLES
Traditional kayaks require you to sit inside them rather than on top. This gives you certain advantages, but it requires an experienced kayaker. If you want to rent a traditional kayak, you must haven taken an introductory class in which you practiced capsizing and self-rescues.
SUP PRICES & EQUIPMENT
$25/hour
SUP
Minimum charge is for one hour then we pro-rate based on additional time every fifteen minutes.

Your rental includes a stand up paddleboard, a paddle, and a life jacket. You will have many stand up paddleboards to choose from
STAND UP PADDLEBOARD
The stand up paddleboard looks like a large, heavy surfboard, and like a surfboard, you stand on it. However, here in the bay, rather than being propelled by waves you’ll be using a long paddle to move forward. Balance can be an issue so it’s best to start with a wider board. Stand Up paddling offers an excellent core workout. We have very stable beginner boards and 12’6″ touring boards for intermediate and advance paddlers.
MONSTER STAND UP PADDLEBOARD ( Temporarily unavailable)
The ‘Monster or Halibut’ SUP is a multiple person Stand Up Paddleboard. 2-6 people plus a few dogs. This board is a hoot and definitely worth taking out. It is extremely popular with groups of friends, families and kids parties.* $50/hour for 2 people, additional paddlers $10/person/hour.
