Kayak Rentals



On the Santa Cruz Wharf

Rental kayaks from the Santa Cruz Wharf can easily access kelp beds and cliffs where otters, seals, sea lions and many other marine animals live. Rent from the wharf and paddle the wildlife-rich waters of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary near the Santa Cruz coast. The rental office is located at #2 Santa Cruz Wharf, near the Main Beach and Boardwalk. For mapquest directions to the wharf, the closest street address is 125 Beach st. We are in the first building on the east side of the pier. We also rent sails and other accessories. Call (831) 425-8445 or 831 427 2267 for reservations.
