FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR RENTING IN MONTEREY BAY


1. Do I need to know how to swim?
If you capsize, you should be able to swim well enough to get back on your kayak. On the bay, swimming to shore is not always an option. Consider a guided tour where you will be accompanied by a guide at all times.
2. What about children?
• Children 5 thru 12 must be in doubles with adults (children 3yrs + can go on our guided tours).
• Kids 13 and up can be in singles or paddleboards.
• All minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
3. What is an Open Deck (sit-on-top) kayak?
They are a more stable, self-bailing kayak that you are not enclosed into. If you capsize, they don't fill with water and it is easier to climb back on board (see photos on graphic above).
4. When is the best time to go kayaking during the day?
Mornings are the calmest time on the water with very little wind but can be cloudier and cooler. Afternoons can be sunnier but windier. If it is too windy or winds are offshore, we may limit the rental area or cancel rentals altogether. Unfortunately it is impossible to predict what will ACTUALLY happen even with the best forecasts!
During Nov-March, our "rainy" season,  the weather can vary widely so calling the day before will be the most accurate. 
5.  Can pregnant women rent kayaks?
Yes as long as you are not in your 3rd trimester.
6. Can I bring alcohol? 
No, we will refuse rentals to anyone under the influence of alcohol/drugs or if you bring them on the kayaks.
7. Is there a weight limit?
Yes, approximately 250 lbs for single kayaks and 500 lbs total for a double kayak.
8. How close can I get to sea otters?
Five boat lengths is best to avoid disturbing animals.  It is illegal to disturb, chase, touch or feed marine mammals who are protected by Federal Law and you may be fined if reported. Read about viewing sea otters and other marine mammals.
9. Will I get wet? Do I need a wetsuit? 
You will probably get a little wet, mostly from splashes and walking into the water! 
Wetsuits are always included as an option because the water temperature on the bay is 54-58 degrees. 
10. What should I wear/bring?     
• Bathing suit (if you opt for a wetsuit)  
• Layers of quick drying clothes (if you don't opt for the wetsuit). Bring towels and extra clothes to leave in your car.  Shop Men's and Women's layers in our store.
• Windbreaker & hat
• Any footwear you don't mind getting wet, or go barefoot.
• Sunglasses, eyewear retainers, sunscreen, drycase for phones
 Our store sells all the gear you will need!
11. Do you have lockers for my belongings?
Lockers are not available. We recommend locking belongings in your car and if you want, we can hold your car keys. If you arrive by foot or bicycle, there is an area to leave clothing/shoes. Valuables can be held in the office. 
12. Are dogs allowed on rental kayaks?
Yes, and there is no charge as long as they fit into the kayak you are renting.  We do not provide life vests for dogs. Please be aware that there are marine mammals that might get close to your kayak and dogs should not jump into the water to chase them, or harass them in any other way.
