Everyone had fun, everyone caught fish... croaker mostly, some flounder and sea bass. My daughter, who has a knack for being "that one in every crowd" caught 2 mackerel and a sea robin. Someone else caught a skate. Very interesting and we brought home enough "keepers" to have a few dinners! We will definitely be going back. PS- yes - they have bathrooms on board. They offer a few sugary and salty snacks, beer, sodas, motion sickness medicine, & sunscreen (for a fee) or you can bring your own cooler (but you can not bring your own alcohol). Lots of help for newbies and moms like me who don't want to touch the bait or fish. If you (like me) decided to bring sandwiches, be sure to bring lotsof antibacterial hand wipes. It is a fishing boat you know! Also, sunscreen & sunglasses suggested, and I gave everyone in my family a motion sickness pill before climbing aboard... if you aren't really used to going out to sea, I highly suggest this. Years ago I went and got terribly sea sick. Excellent crew!

I feel like a real insider now, because I found the most perfect kayak and sailboat rental place…read more I've been here twice this year I get nothing but great energy from Jen and Mitch; paddling or sailing with them is like being with my own paddle club back on the Ches. I've gotten awesome service from them - whether it's booking a lesson last minute, or asking for a touring yak pre-seasons. Their little shop is adorable and in a perfectly serene location right on the bay. I can't tell you how much this counts for me - city docks and slips are just un-fun and their shop feels like my favorite put-in back home. They are both experienced paddlers and chatting with them is just like chatting with any of the sea kayakers in my paddle club. The Lil-Ass Bay (I'm sorry, I just can't help it) is also a great paddling spot ! With extremely limited boat traffic, and a refuge to it's north, kayaks can relax a bit and focus on observing the wildlife without having to keep their head on a pivot for speeding boaters and fishermen. These same reasons also make it a great place to take sailing lessons and let the wind carry you a bit. I have to admit that I've never actually paid attention to the prices ahead of time. You can tell when you're dealing with Jen, Mitch, or any of their helpers that they are going to be fair and reasonable. So I've always just gone out, come back when I wanted to, and paid and every single time I've been happily surprised at the price. Even the sailing lesson was more affordable than I expected. Paddling here is like paddling with a friend. Will definitely be back on this trip and many future ones. Quite side note about sailing, yes, they do have some rules about sailing as another review posted - not being able to jibe can be a little bit annoying sometimes when you really just want to run or reach down a bit, but it allows them to keep the sailing accessible and affordable to more people, which is important. Can't wait to get back out there again.

As you can see from my prior review in August 2023 I love this place. I love to kayak with my…read morefamily. I was here again with my same family of five including two elementary school children. This time I rented two double kayaks for 1 hour at $30 each or $60 total. I also rented one single kayak for one hour or $20. Our total cost was $80 for two doubles and one single kayak in total. This time we traveled south in the bay since the current was moving North. That made it easier for us to kayak back to the kayak base. We returned within one hour. I also purchased a Coastal Kayak hoodie for $40. We agreed we will return here again.

The entire experience was seamless--from the easy online reservation process to check-in and the safety briefing. The staff made sure we got out on the water safely and even helped us return to the dock. We also rented fishing poles and bait, and everything was on the boat and ready when we arrived. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, the rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy a great day. Thank you for a fantastic experience--we'll definitely be back!

Instead of pulling us to safety, the staff told us not to return and to stay out in the storm. When we finally came back after 30 minutes, they refused any refund, not even for unused fishing gear. Safety and compassion were completely absent. Do not risk your well being or your money with this business. Their reputation looks good on sunny days, but when conditions turned dangerous, they abandoned responsibility. Never again.
