Rentals
Our waterfront location at picturesque Woodley Island Marina features the only dockside kayak rental facility on the redwood coast. 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 paddle on Humboldt Bay. Paddle around Indian Island to see the egret rookery or along the water trails of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. We have both single and tandem kayaks; for families we offer a double-kayak with a drop-in seat in a center hatch for younger paddlers as well as canoes. 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.

    It\'s been an unusually cold summer this year on the Humboldt coast. We see folks from all over the country and world passing through our little rental shop on Humboldt Bay. They can\'t believe this is the sunny California they always heard about. I joke with them that selling fleece and sweaters is booming industry here locally. Things seem to be turning around however with Indian summer kicking in and a string of some very nice, sunny days. We are looking forward to a very active and busy Labor day weekend. Come down for a rental or sign up for one of our world class tours. Humboats leads the way in stellar opportunities for Kayaking with wildlife and top of the line equipment rentals. Check us out. (707) 443-5157

    Humboats is looking to trade our services for some one with Web design capabilities. We might be experts on the water but are all thumbs when it comes to updating and making changes to our website. Any all help is welcome.
