My mom and I signed up for a city kayak time Slot and came by about an hour later. We were quickly fitted for life jackets and given their protocol. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. We kayaked to right outside of Oracle Park to watch the baseball game, where several other boats and kayaks were doing the same! 1 hour was just enough time for us. Will be back next year!

We had a lovely experience kayaking here. You can take the kayak to the creek by mission bay. The person at the desk was warm, cordial, and good humored. Nice equipments that you can rent for as long as the place is open so I suggest you come in early. You can see sea lions chilling about too!

Super friendly staff, easy location to get to and find parking, and fair pricing. Highly recommend the Marina route for beginners. If you're looking for a longer more advanced excursion, start with the Bay Bridge route, then head to the Marina second. The boats and cargo ships create a fairly large wake that will tire you out quickly on the Bay Bridge route.

Nice place to rent kayaks right in the city, where you can get a good view of the city skyline, the Bay Bridge, and the baseball stadium. The owners (husband and wife?) are really friendly, and the entire operation had a mom-and-pop feel to it. TIPS: Paddling around splashes water so you will get a tiny bit wet, so bring appropriate clothes (or maybe a change of clothes for after). I left my sandals on the dock and went barefoot. You can buy water and snacks at the checkin desk (and don't forget sunscreen), and rent a dry-bag for your belongings. I recommend two hours, since getting ready, onto the kayak, and leaving the dock area all eat some time which would make a single hour quite rushed. We were able to paddle to the bay bridge, back to the dock, to the baseball stadium to watch some of the game, and back all in two hours. If you're prone to seasickness, take some dromamine or ginger candies before you go! OVERALL: Go on a nice sunny day when a baseball game is being played.
