Bring only what you actually need for your rental.
The flow from lockers to dock makes it easy to move from arrival to launch.

Dock Team

Meet your dock attendants.

Once you reach the dock area, our dock attendants help move your rental from “checked in” to “ready to launch.” This is where the experience starts to feel hands-on and personal.

Dock attendants help direct your group and prepare the next part of your rental.
Ask equipment-specific questions before getting on the water.
Whether you booked a San Diego jet ski rental, boat rental, kayak rental, or paddleboard rental, this step helps you feel ready.
