Mission Bay Rental FAQ

Questions before you book?

The quick answers guests need before choosing a San Diego watersports rental.

Where can I rent jet skis, boats, kayaks, and paddleboards in San Diego?
Mission Bay Sportcenter rents jet skis, pontoon boats, ski boats, kayaks, paddleboards, sailboats, catamarans, Lily Pads, and other watersports equipment directly from 1010 Santa Clara Pl. on Mission Bay in San Diego.
What is the best Mission Bay rental for the most exciting experience?
Jet skis are the strongest fit for guests who want speed and high-energy riding. If you want a private powerboat for a small group, a ski boat is another fast option.
What is the best rental for families or groups?
Pontoons are a popular group choice because everyone can stay together and cruise at a relaxed pace. Larger event groups can also combine pontoons, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, Lily Pads, and water trampolines.
Are kayaks and paddleboards beginner friendly?
Yes. Mission Bay’s calm-water environment makes kayaks and stand up paddleboards popular beginner options. Staff can help with basic equipment setup and launch guidance before you head out.
What should I bring for rental check-in?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a credit card. Guests must complete required waivers, age documentation when applicable, and safety instruction before departure. Plan to arrive about 30 minutes early, and large groups should allow 30 to 45 minutes.
Are there additional charges on powered rentals?
Yes. Powered-equipment rentals are subject to a 10% fuel charge and a 10% concession charge on the equipment rental cost. The live booking calendar should be used to confirm current base pricing and availability.
