City Kayak in San Francisco, California

“My husband and I loved our kayaking adventure around the San Francisco Bay! City Kayak made safety the top priority before we got on the water, which gave us peace of mind. Our guide was not only helpful but also shared fun facts, and even snapped photos that he airdropped to us afterward! It was a calm, clear day with incredible views of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, and waterfront from a perspective you ca”

“9/14/25. Got the McCovey Cove Experience for my brother. He was on the water in no time. I had my own kayak which they allowed me to launch with no problems. Staff were very helpful each time I called them. It was an amazing experience for all of us. Thank you City Kayak.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 w”
