Dogpatch Paddle & Kayak in San Francisco, California

“Stand Up Paddle boarding on the Bay in late November was a perfect plan. Excellent conditions. We paddled for a bit over an hour over to Oracle Park and then up Mission River, where we tied up our boards and had a picnic lunch. Paddled back, then hopped in the sauna, and then relaxed on the Adirondack chairs outside overlooking the Bay. New and clean equipment. Good customer service too.”

“Great service from the guys at dog patch paddle. They were awesome helping me and my two boys get oriented to the bay andinto a kayak. An hour was the perfect time to paddle down to Oracle park and back. And then we sat along the bay and ate Itu2019s-it from their cooler. A perfect end into the July 4 weekend!”

“we had an awesome time! the staff member was very cool and informative. the safety briefing was solid. the equipment was really high quality. the launch was easy. note: We booked three hours, which was pretty aggressive for our first time out. Two hours is still a lot of time and that would have been a more sensible amount of paddling. bring water shoes or flip flops, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and drinking water.”

“Exhilarating!!!!! Did a two hour tandem ride going south and we had a ball!!!!! Equipment seemed in great shape, got good info before heading out, and had a cold but beautiful day. By the end we were soaked but happy and ran into the sauna - cozy and nice and hot. Very nice set up, looking forward to a return trip soon and bringing other friendsud83dudea2ud83euddadud83cudf0aud83dudea3ud83cudfff”

“I went on a paddle to the Bay Bridge with Dogpatch Paddle, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Adam, was very attentive, frequently looking back and checking to make sure I was doing okay. He showed us the safe route to the bridge, pointing out things to be mindful of like fishing lines and how to navigate around the large vessels docked at the port. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. I would high”

“Chose an excellent day to kayak for a 2-hour rental on a tandem kayak. Quality equipment was provided. At 9 am the water was calm and middle of tide out. Easy access to beach and very enjoyable 2 hours in the bay. Could see the boats and dock up close and also saw some seals basking in the sun ! Will come back again to be venture further out.”

“Great time out on the bay and in McCovey cove. Sebastian was very helpful getting us prepared for our trip. We saw a couple of seals and enjoyed the Giants game.”

“Great spot! For paddleboarding, I recommend getting there early on a non-windy day. They were able to accommodate me as a total beginner and give recommendations for how to navigate my board and where to go. Their in-house sauna was small but perfect. I loved getting a chance to relax after the outing.”
