Kayak Fishing


Humboats operates the Northcoast only Fully licensed and certified Kayak Fishing guide service. Let us take you down one of our Redwood lined rivers for a day of Salmon or Steelhead fishing. We run kayak fishing charters to the our local coastal waters for Halibut,Rockfish, and dungeness crab. Trips run $80 1/2 day to $150 for a full day. All kayaks, equipment, rods, reels and bait included. Lunch is provided on full day outings.

Kayak Fishing is one of our most exciting and popular activities. Bring your favorite fishing rod, or let us set you up with one of ours. Come on down to Dock A and we’ll provide you with the kayaks, canoes, safety equipment, paddles, and PFDs (life jackets) that you’ll need for a rewarding fishing expedition here in the rugged north coast. We have both single and tandem kayaks. While we are ideally situated on Humboldt Bay, you are welcome to car-top a rental to a different location (not all cars are suitable). We also offer a “frequent renter” program to keep you paddling.

Double Kayak $35* $50 $60 $275

Note: No experience is required to rent sit-on-top or recreational kayaks; however the ability to perform an appropriate self rescue is required to rent a decked sea kayak. If you haven't had an appropriate lesson, we offer a number of options to get you paddling safely! Be sure to wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and water temperature.
