About this business

AutomotiveBoat Dealers

Now you can row, sail, and pedal in the middle of downtown Oakland thanks to this place. The city-run entity on Lake Merritt rents sail boats, pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, and rowboats to the public by the hour at low prices with only one catch, but it is a good one. Everyone must wear a life preserver. Children under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Explore the 195-acre, eight-foot deep lake and then afterwards, enjoy a picnic at Lakeside Park.

The sailing camps for youth and teens are great and affordable. Youth who complete the sailing camp can then take the boats out on the lake to sail anytime until they turn 18, for free!! It's such a great resource provided by the city. We went out sailing on Lake Merritt with my son and it was so much fun and he was happy to show us his sailing knowledge. Recommended for kids age 10 and up!
