Yelp.com Review - by T L.

1.0 of 5 stars. Great idea to have Kayaks on the bay. I wish someone else was running the stand. We have had several misunderstandings with Ted, the manager. We prepaid some hours and he has been difficult to work…

1.0 of 5 stars. This place is run by a bunch of jokers. For the Sunday Streets event on Sunday August 31st, 2008 they advertised on the Sunday Streets website that they were going to do a bay trip at 11. We were very…

4.0 of 5 stars. This may surprise you but this is a business run out of a van. The bf and I wanted to go kayaking on a Saturday so when he called a couple days earlier, the guy on the phone said he wouldn't have to…

Yelp.com Review - by Nancy M.

2.0 of 5 stars. I've been a couple of times and the experience of renting a kayak in the city and swinging around by the ballpark when there's a game or over to the Ramp is really cool. The owner of this operation…

Yelp.com Review - by Laura M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Wow - reviews run the gamut here. I can only conclude that this place is excellent for a beginner like me but maybe not the first choice for that large olympic-kayak-ninja-testosterone-junkie slice of…

Yelp.com Review - by Christopher Y.

5.0 of 5 stars. Do you want to rent a kayak to get on the water for a few hours of sun and fun? Or, how about a cooler way to way to show off the city waterfront to an out-of-town guest than going to the tourist…

Yelp.com Review - by Anne S.

5.0 of 5 stars. If you're in SF, this is the perfect place to "escape" to the outdoors without having to sit in Bay Area traffic -- especially over Thanksgiving weekend. Even though the conditions weren't good to go…

Yelp.com Review - by Cyn W.

5.0 of 5 stars. $10 an hour for kayaking (if you book beforehand online) in SF off Pier 40! Even on windier days, they have routes to McCovey Cove and down Mission Creek for beginners. More experienced kayakers can…

4.0 of 5 stars. How cool is it to kayak beneath the Bay Bridge's underbelly, turn around and power your way up McCovey Cove, then paddle under those rusted steel footbridges leading from the parking lots to AT&T…

Yelp.com Review - by Alicia A.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is great if you already know how to kayak. They'll rent you a single or double kayak at a very reasonable rate and just kind of turn you loose in the bay. Very cool. If you don't have…

5.0 of 5 stars. I went on a full moon kayak ride on Halloween. It was an incredible experience. Very unique way to see San Francisco. They do a full moon ride every full moon.
