I went paddle boarding on Friday with a group and it was an amazing experience. Steve was super friendly and helpful from the minute I walked in. You have the option of renting equipment there, or bringing your own and paying a small launch fee. I brought my own and the process was simple. Even though I've been paddle boarding before, our trip leader Lauren guided us through safety and paddle board tips. Getting on the water was simple and the views were gorgeous. Our group had an amazing time, I know I absolutely did. I can't believe Sea Trek is so close to me and I've never been here before. I had an amazing time and am already planning my next trip. read more

We went on a Thursday morning, plenty parking space. We were welcomed by Steve who was helpful and chilled. The store is well organized. We went for kayak. Paddled around the marina and then out on the bay anti clockwise to come back tkt he marina. It took us under an hour and we were going at a slow pace. $35 well spent. We'll be back. Take a close look at their package. read more

Parking is in a lot that's free and abundant. The check-in process was pretty easy. They have (no extra cost) dry-bags that you can borrow to place your belongings in. After grabbing a life jacket, head out the door where you'll get a quick briefing on the available routes. At the dock, they launched me out into the waters without any fuss. I appreciate that the employees here know how to "read the room". I noticed that for groups with kids, they were more thorough in their briefings and made sure to hype the kids up. For any adults that looked like they just wanted to get into the water ASAP, they kept it succinct. Overall a very efficient operation. They have purchase options where you can buy a block of (I believe) 5 hours (never expires) at a discounted rate which is a total steal. read more

I just completed an introductory SUP class with Sylvia and it was so much fun. First off, getting to Sea Trek is easy. There is plenty of parking and signage in the lot directing you where to go. The Sea Trek office is clean, organized, and cute and Sylvia pointed out where everything was including the bathrooms, changing areas, and lockers. The class itself is about 2 hours long and started off with the basics before getting into the water. Then once we got in the water, Sylvia was great about suggesting where to paddle and guiding us on what to do when standing up on the board. The waters in the lagoon were very calm and easy enough for me to navigate. Everyone on the water was friendly and greeted us as we paddled by. Since there was only one other person in the class, Sylvia was able to keep it flexible and left it up to us to decide where we wanted to go and what we wanted to learn. I was glad that Sylvia spent time training us on what to do when falling off of the board as well. The course didn't feel like a standard class and instead was more like a paddle session with a fun friend who just happens to be an SUP expert. Steve was also helpful and answered all of my questions on future paddle sessions with my family. All in all, I really enjoyed my time here and I can't wait to go back! read more

Had a fantastic sea kayaking class at Sea Trek in Alameda with the instructor, Dee. The class was excellent, just enough students to be interesting and allow us to rescue each other but small enough to allow for individual coaching and addressing our individual goals and needs. Dee spent time at the beginning reviewing our experience and goals and took time at the end to gather feedback and suggestions for improvement. A really thorough class that left us all feeling more confident in our ability and in our kayaks. read more

Sea Trek is a wonderful experience for a first time paddler or a seasoned vet. All of the guides were so willing to help whether it was with gear or technique on paddling. And I appreciated the advice on both. Views in the marina were beautiful, but once we got out into the more open water to watch the sunset and moonrise, I knew my first trip was not going to be my last! I am so happy that I found this community! Try it out for yourself! ***Bring a change of clothes, a fresh towel, and a beanie for after. It's always nice to paddle in and get dry and there's a place to store your stuff safely. read more

My partner and I did a moonlight paddle out into the bay and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guides did an excellent job of preparing our group for the trip, outlining our route, noting safety rules, and checking to make sure we all felt confident in the open water. The kayaks felt stable and were easy to maneuver. We got to see magnificent views of both the sunset and the full moon. It was an enjoyable and memorable experience! read more

I am a beginner kayaker and I wasn't sure what to expect, but from the time I arrived until we finished our tour I was guided by the most amazing host. I was offered all the gear I needed to stay dry and comfortable as well as a briefing on what to expect. We paddled through the marina into the open water where we all experienced the most surreal views. Although there were some seasoned paddlers I never felt out of place. We formed quite a little community sharing stories and laughs. Of course I have even returned to paddle on several occasions and I'm looking forward to my next session! read more

I love taking my kids to this kayak shop to paddle in the marina. This is a very well run kayaking business, so glad they are now run my the same management as Sea Trek in Sausalito. read more

We went on a sunset kayak trip to see the bioluminescence in Tomales Bay and it was amazing! Our guide was excellent - super knowledgable about the the geography, fauna, etc. She also treated us with such care and made sure that we were all comfortable (one of our party was quite scared of being on the bay at night and she made sure he felt safe and secure). Overall it was an experience we will remember forever and definitely worth trying!! Thank you Sea Trek! read more

I took a SUP lesson here and it was great! They provide everything (wetsuit, board, gear), were very helpful with prep and scheduling, and the location is perfect. Beautiful scenery, lots of safe spots to practice, and a whole body workout. My instructor Jo was awesome - funny, supportive, and gave great advice. If you're in the Bay Area you need to get out on the water! I'll definitely take another class or tour in the future, here or at the Sausalito location. read more

This is my favorite place to kayak! The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help. I'm a novice and started kayaking with Sea Trek at their Alameda location in spring 2024. By spring 2025, I had signed up for one of their Baja trips--an incredible experience I'll never forget. Alameda is a great launch spot, perfect for all skill levels. I often bring friends and family along. The water in Ballena Bay is usually calm, and paddling out into the San Francisco Bay feels like a dream. Best of all, while so much in the Bay Area can be pricey, Sea Trek's rentals are affordable and a great way to enjoy the outdoors and the area without breaking the bank. read more

Weather you are a seasoned paddler or a beginner, Sea Trek is such a great experience. Such a gem to have in the Bay Area. They have amazing sunrise or sunset/moonrise paddles, or you can just go out during the day. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. So glad I found this place. read more

Fun and friendly staff with a great location. Not a lot of fun locations like this in the East Bay.

Great staff, Sadie was so nice. Had a wonderful time on the water! We saw a seal and lots of birds. The marina is great to start in and get comfortable then you can choose to go out to the bay or head back. read more

Unforgettable Family Fun in Alameda! We had an amazing kayaking birthday party, all due to the wonderful team at SeaTrek. They really took care of us (big group of kids and parents). We started off the day with kayaking and came back for pizza and piñata fun at the little patio. Steve and KK really thought of everything. They kept us safe and thought of every detail, even down to providing a first-aid kit just in case the kids fall down while running around. So thoughtful! We of course had fun on the water with kayaking games and swimming for those who didn't want to go into the lagoon. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our experience and were telling everyone how great it was. Special shout out to KC and Ashoka for such a memorable day! PS: I am very new to kayaking and their approach to showing everyone the joy of the water is pretty amazing. They were very patient and that really matters for noobs like me! read more
