At Sea Trek, your safety ( as always)  is our priority. There are significant changes to our rental process in the effort to keep you and our staff safer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please read our new rental procedures carefully to insure you are ready to paddle when you arrive at Sea Trek. Thank you!

Especially during the summer months expect high winds most days in the afternoon. First time paddlers, groups with small kids and Stand Up Paddlers are advised to make reservations before 1 pm. Your safety is our number one priority and there will be times that we won’t be able to send people out on the water due to winds. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note change to rental prices as of June 1st,  2021 below.

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

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.

Stand Up Paddle boarders in Richardson Bay in San Francisco

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 advanced paddlers.
