Kayaking is one of the BEST ways to see the bay!

If you are loving this beautiful fall weather and itching to get out on the bay, kayaking is a great way to see the wildlife and explore the protected shorelines from the water!

Kayaks are available to rent on a first come, first serve basis, and we have stand-up paddle boards and canoes available as well!

And if you'd rather let us do the work of getting you around and teaching you about the bay, join us on a Sub Sea Tour aboard the Seaview, which is equipped with underwater windows to give you the full bay experience!

Our 4th of July fireworks cruise is fast approaching and we still have space available! We will be cruising up the coast to Cayucos to see the fireworks launch off the pier. There’s also good chances to see whales and other wildlife before darkness falls.
