My engines seem to have lost their Boolean abilities and I'm not coming up with much for S.F. Bay rental. Any tips on where to rent a decent fiberglass boat? Sorry; I know this is asked frequently. In my search I found this amusing [unnamed] rental site. After paying $42 per day for a boat, you might also want to get the following: Personal Floatation Device $6 Touring / Whitewater Paddle $9 Farmer John Wetsuit $11 Neoprene Booties $5 Paddling Top $6 Spray Skirt $6 Paddle Float $3 Bilge Pump $3 Total: $49 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

MY rental was a fiberglass boat with a reasonable amount of equipment. I don't remember the cost, but it was way below what you said. Of course, I brought my own booties and i didn't use a wet suit. Everything else was part of the rental. Things may have changed but this was a good rental from my point of view. Bill Leonhardt ps BTW, if you can travel to Monetrey, do it. That was a Great rental (twice!). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Other than the place in Oakland, I know there is one down in Monterey, but that's of course a bit of a drive. OTOH, I think I'd rather paddle out of the Monterey area than in SF Bay itself. . . but either would be great. I can't remember the name of the place in Monterey, but as I recall they did have a web site.

CCK (California Canoe and Kayak) is great place to rent with a good selection of boats and most are only used for classes and rentals for one season...so they should still be in pretty good shape. They are the major retailer for the Bay area...so they can probably accommodate a special request or at least provide a similar boat to the type you paddle or the type of trip. They price by the day and then discount for extended rentals. They are located in the Oakland Harbor area so either be prepared to paddle some fairly uninspiring waters or transport the boat to better paddling areas on the bay. Sea Trek is another Bay area outfitter located in Sausalito. They don't have quite the same selection of rentals but they have a great location if you don't want to transport the boat. They have a great launch site in protected waters not too far from the harbor entrance from there it's a great paddle across Raccoon Straits to Paradise Cove or if you plan the tides right not to far to head out the Gate and over to the beaches in Marin. If you're going out the gate you may not want to mention it when you're renting. Other great places to paddle and play... Kayak Connection has two locations one in Santa Cruz and one at Elkhorn Slough they are really great people and can help you plan any kind of trip you're up for. Monterey...the major rental source their is Monterey Kayaks...mostly SOTs. Have fun.

On the coast, north to south, there are rentals in Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing (Elkhorn Slough, can't paddle there without whacking a sea otter on the head), and Monterey. That's off the top of my head. Check out the BASK home page for locations and contact info; http://www.bask.org.
