Hector has all you need. Life jacket,  equipment.  Wear lots of sunscreen.

Highly recommend even for beginners. Hector is very helpful, friendly and chill. My friend and I had never kayaked but wanted to on our trip to Port A. Saturday night I called around 7 to get some info and before I knew it, we were set up for Sunday at 8-830 foemr a quick lesson and out to kayak. Hector texted that a.m. to confirm and he was ready for us when we got there. A quick lesson and the Kayaks were in the water and all I had to do was step in the mud, but even then he gave me his arm and helped me get settled. Even if you are wimpy and a beginner, he takes you to a place you can safely kayak and decide how far you want to go. When you are done, call him and he picks you up. Easy peasy! Would definitely do this again!

Family Kayak trip with Hector

What an amazing morning we had with Hector our tour guide. He is fantastic. We learned so much about the oyster beds, the different birds, fish, lighthouse, etc. he provided clean and well kept equipment to use. Was informative, comical, and down right fun! Thank you for an amazing trip. Would highly recommend Hector at Coastal Bend Kayak.

We had a fantastic time!!! Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and adjusted for our skill level. We would definitely do this again!!!

Just about to hit the water, they provide life jackets for everyone of all sizes and a few dry boxes.

We came on a group tour for our company Team Build with store leadership and had a blast! Hector, the owner and tour guide, is friendly & very knowledgeable. Everyone gets an instruction class before starting where he informs you of the proper clothing attire, safety rules and needs. They provide and kayak and life jacket for everyone. And a fee dry boxes for people to place their phones, etc. Once in the water, Hector is very helpful and encouraging. He gives you a tour of the wildlife and area/buildings around the route. We also happened to go on the tour with a Mom and her 15 year old son & 10 year old daughter. The son had his own kayak, but Hector had a 2-sweater for the Mom and daughter and was great with the family as well. He also said he offers camps for kids and adults. I highly recommend Coastal Bend Kayaking!

DON'T DO It! At least with Doug…read more First off the guide should know when to call it ! If the weather to bad don't go out, instead he took $400 cash and laughed all the way to the bank . No fish, hated to give us good bait like we were stupid! All over my wife and constantly& tell me how to fish all freaking day. Just a conceded,idiot that strokes his own meat like he the man all day!!! My boat the best!!"only one of its kind ",my talk show the best!!, I report all in the world of fishing!!, I run this bay!! Get out of my way !! What a terrible $400 shit show.. Trust me move on ! This guy out for himself and riding his poor wife's bank roll from the location shop she owns. Talked bad to the locals & fishing tournament groups who had the right just as we did to fish all day .. it just got old ! And I'm sure he will respond being the social but he is but I wish someone would of warned me.

Fishing with Captain Doug was an absolute joy and I can't wait for our next trip down to Port A…read more Let me start off by first saying I am afraid of the ocean. My imagination is a little too wild for the open sea and the thought of sharks and wild animals bigger than me freaks me out! When we first started going out on the water, I was nervous. Capt. Doug was awesome though, he gently broke us into deeper and choppier water making sure that both or legs and stomachs could handle the constant movements. It didn't take very long before my husband caught his first fish. Less than a minute actually! He dropped his line in the water, and BAAM!! There was a giant Redfish on the hook. Well after that, we were ready for more. Further and deeper we went until we ended up next to two large shrimping boats. That's when the fun really started. Kingfish, sharks, dolphin, sea turtles. It was like they were putting on a show. I have never had very good experiences at the beach, better yet on the water, but Capt. Doug really knew how to entertain and keep the energy up. I would recommended him to anyone, young or old, man or woman, experienced fishermen or newbies like myself. We had a blast.
