Traditional Closed-Deck Kayaks

Versus

Sit-On-Top Kayaks

San Francisco Kayak & Adventures only uses closed-deck traditional kayaks* which are warmer, dryer, more comfortable, faster and easier to paddle & maneuver. This is unlike sit-on-top rental kayaks which can be leaky, wet, awkward, slow and uncomfortable. Joining us for a Guided Kayaking Adventure has its advantages!! (please see comparison images below).

You may be more familiar with the Sit-On-Top Rental Kayaks pictured below; which many operators must utilize if you do not have previous kayaking experience or are not on a Guided Tour; these Sit-On-Top kayaks can be leaky, wet, awkward, slow and uncomfortable.

*All of our kayaking adventures take place in, Tandem closed-deck Traditional Kayaks - on a limited pre-qualified basis we allow intermediate to advanced kayakers to go solo. For safety reasons, this generally requires the participant to have wet exit and re-entry certification in a traditional sit-in kayak. If you have this certification, please contact us in advance of your tour.
