About Us

Local roots, open water.

Founded and operated by locals who grew up in Chula Vista, we believe the San Diego Bay should be welcoming and accessible to all.

Our story

More than a place to rent a kayak.

We’re proud to offer affordable opportunities for kayaking, paddle boarding, eco-tours, camps and rentals along our beautiful bayfront. Our programs are designed for all ages and skill levels — from first-time paddlers to seasoned explorers.

We specialize in youth camps, after-school programs, community partnerships and hands-on environmental education that helps people connect with the unique ecosystems of the South Bay. With a strong commitment to community, education and sustainability, Chula Vista Water Sports is a movement to reconnect our city with the water that surrounds it.

Trusted by our partners

Paddle into partnership.

Our partnerships are the foundation of meaningful impact. We collaborate with schools, nonprofits, environmental organizations and local agencies to bring water-based recreation and education to the community — creating opportunities for youth engagement, outdoor learning and stewardship of the San Diego Bay.

As a trusted local operator with deep roots in the community, we help fulfill the City of Chula Vista’s goals for public access, youth enrichment, outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship, through programs that serve thousands of local students, families and visitors.

Let’s work together

Schools, nonprofits, environmental organizations and local agencies — reach out to expand access and inspire the next generation.

What people say

Friendly, helpful, local.

“I highly recommend this place for your fun water activities! So good to know that in your local neighborhood you can go kayaking or paddle boarding by making an easy reservation online. Michael, was very friendly and helpful. Our experience was wonderful! We had to reschedule the first time due to a cloudy day and the current wasn't good (definitely better to go on a sunny day and be safe!) A few days later, we were up and going, the sky was clear and had such an awesome experience kayaking. We will be back! Thank you so much! :)”
