Seaforth Boat Rentals is a San Diego-based watercraft rental company offering kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, rafts, and specialty boats across Mission Bay, Coronado, Downtown and Harbor Island. The fleet includes single and tandem kayaks, Lily Pad rafts, the eye-catching Pretty Pink Duffy and Pretty Pink Boat, a Limo Boat for downtown excursions, and guided Sunset Sail departures requiring a local USCG licensed captain.
Trips and rentals suit families, couples, solo paddlers, and small groups with one- and two-hour options for kayak and paddleboard rentals. Guided options such as the Blue Bridge Kayak Tour and Coronado bridge excursions provide local insight and safe navigation beneath iconic landmarks. Life jackets are provided for every rental to ensure safety.
Seaforth Boat Rentals emphasizes accessible, no-fuss experiences: easy online booking, flexible launch locations, and equipment briefings for beginners. Boats may be rented with or without a licensed captain depending on the vessel and experience level.

Seaforth Boat Rentals works to create memorable, picture-ready outings on San Diego waters, from serene Mission Bay paddles to vibrant Harbor Island sunsets, appealing to visitors and locals seeking a reliable, fun day on the water.
