Sea Kayaking Sausalito, CA

Try Sea Kayaking in Sausalito to explore the San Francisco Bay Area in a new way. Seeing Sausalito’s charming house boat village from the water is definitely a highlight.

Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekOne of the best things about living in San Francisco is the amazing access to nature we have here. We’ve done plenty of hiking, and some epic roadtrips, but no exploring via the sea. A friend recommended sea kayaking as a great way to gain a new perspective of our home.

We checked out Sea Trek in Sausalito to get started. Their friendly staff set us up with a ‘sit on top’ kayak. Sit on top kayaks are self-bailing, safe and user friendly. This made it fairly easy to navigate around Richardson bay, while still getting a great upper body workout. Sea Trek also offer stand up paddle boards and traditional kayaks, as well as lessons on both.Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekWhere to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekWhere to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea Trek

We headed out of the marina on our adventure. The first sight was sea lion and sea otters, living the good life perched upon the docks.Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekWhere to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea Trek

To keep us hydrated on our adventure, we packed some of Naked Juice’s new cold-pressed Naked Pressed juices. The ingredient labels really spoke for themselves – fresh fruit juices without preservatives or strange unpronounceable ingredients.

Naked Pressed juices contain high quality fruits and vegetables that are cold-pressed right into the bottle. They are then shipped immediately to ensure the juice is high quality and great tasting when you grab it from your local grocery store. Our favorites are the Bold Beet and Hearty Greens, but all five flavors taste amazing.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, there is the option to Sea Kayak in San Francisco or in the North Bay like we did in Sausalito. I highly recommend choosing Sausalito for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a bit warmer as Richardson Bay is protected from the wind. Most important, you have the chance to see the famous Sausalito house boats up close.

Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekSeeing the house boats has to be one of the best things we’ve done since moving to San Francisco. This floating permanent village is absolutely incredible. We saw everything from small shacks to stately three-story New England homes with potted plants and a sun deck.Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea TrekWhere to Go Sea Kayaking in Sausalito and San Francisco - Sea Trek

Our sea kayak allowed us to get up close and picture what it would be like to live permanently on the water. Most of the homes are tethered to a dock and actually have electricity, running water and septic. It’s incredible. I wish there were more photos to share, but we had to balance “getting the shot” with the risk of getting our phones splashed on. You’ll just have to try it yourself!

If you’re planning to sea kayak, make sure you slather on the sunscreen and wear clothes (especially pants) you don’t mind getting wet! A hat is also a great idea, but it should fit snugly so you don’t have to worry about it getting blown off and lost to sea.

    That looks like an awesome place to kayak and your photos are beautiful! I just went ocean kayaking last weekend and I definitely wasn’t brave enough to bring my phone! Will have to muster up the courage next time as I missed out on so many great photos.

      Thanks Alix! We were definitely apprehensive but putting your iPhone at risk seems to be a standard part of being a blogger so often, right!?
