Book a Custom Coastal Experience
Show them you care by taking them out kayaking. Our professional guides will gear up your group, orient them to the kayaks and the art of paddling, then lead the group around on a scenic tour around Pillar Point Harbor. Along the way, you'll hear fascinating tidbits about the local wildlife, the natural history of the area, and the famous Mavericks big wave surf spot off of Pillar Point. If conditions permit, we may even be able to leave the harbor and venture out into the open Pacific.
Following the harbor tour, if you added box lunches, your group will return to enjoy those and some beverages at our scenic picnic tables overlooking the harbor, where everyone can relax, recharge, and enjoy the coastal atmosphere. It's the perfect way to unwind, connect, and share good company away from the office.

Policies & Booking Information
We look forward to hosting you on the water. Please review the following policies before booking. Payment confirms acceptance of these terms.
Weather & Safety
All programs operate rain or shine unless conditions are deemed unsafe by Half Moon Bay Kayak Co. Safety decisions are made at our sole discretion.
If HMB Kayak Co. cancels due to unsafe conditions, your group may reschedule at no charge or receive a full refund.
Once a service has been performed, it is non-refundable.
Rentals (Kayaks, Bikes, & SUPs)
Individual Rentals (1–9 guests)
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled booking time. Bookings cancelled within 24 hours, missed reservations, and no-shows are non-refundable.
Group Rentals (10+ guests)
A deposit is required to reserve equipment for group rentals.
Deposits are refundable only if cancellation occurs outside of the required cancellation window. Because group reservations require advanced equipment allocation and staffing, cancellations, reductions in guest count, and no-shows within 7 days of the reservation are non-refundable.
Final guest count is due 7 days prior to the reservation and will serve as the guaranteed minimum for billing purposes. Increases may be accommodated based on availability but cannot be guaranteed.
Participants may be substituted if someone in your group is unable to attend.
Private Groups, Custom Trips & Corporate Events
Deposit & Payment
A 50% deposit is required to reserve your event date and equipment.
Deposits are refundable only if cancellation occurs outside of the required cancellation window. Within the cancellation window, deposits become non-refundable due to advanced staffing, equipment allocation, and operational planning.
Deposits may be applied toward a rescheduled event within the same calendar year, subject to availability.
Final payment is due 10 days prior to the event date based on your confirmed guest count, which will serve as the guaranteed minimum for billing.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Cancellations made within these windows will result in forfeiture of the deposit.
We allow a one-time rescheduling request, which must be submitted within the same cancellation timeframe (7 or 14 days, depending on group size). Approved reschedules will incur a $25 per person rescheduling fee and must be used within the same calendar year.
Guest Count
Final guest count must be confirmed within the applicable cancellation window:
This confirmed number becomes the guaranteed minimum for billing.
Increases may be accommodated based on availability, but cannot be guaranteed. Reductions made after the final guest count deadline are non-refundable.
No-Shows & Same-Day Cancellations
No-shows and day-of cancellations are non-refundable and not eligible for credit.
Guide Gratuity
Gratuities for your guides are not included in your reservation total but are customary within the outdoor hospitality industry.
For guided experiences and private groups, an 18–20% gratuity of the reservation total is standard and a meaningful way to recognize your guides for delivering a safe, engaging, and memorable experience.
For your convenience, gratuity may be added to your final invoice or provided directly to your guides at the conclusion of your experience. All gratuities are distributed directly to your guides.
