Since 1979, California Commercial Divers has been providing maintenance and service for the boating community. The services that California Commercial Divers offers include hull cleaning, zinc and prop replacements, underwater repairs, and recovery services. California Commercial Divers is conveniently located at the Santa Cruz Harbor.
Located right on Santa Cruz Wharf, this business rents 16-foot skiffs with small engines for $75 per day or $20 an hour. The shop carries bait, tackle, silver jewelry, snacks and souvenirs. Fishing equipment and crab nets are for rent, as well as wetsuits, boogie boards and life vests. It has another location in Capitola which rents all the same items, plus kayaks and hydrobikes.
Venture Quest rents kayaks for solo trips or guided tours in the Monterey Bay, around Santa Cruz, and up Elkhorn Slew. No experience is required, and kayakers setting out from the private dock on Santa Cruz Wharf often see sea lions, dolphins and even whales. The company rents single and double kayaks and gear, starting at $30 for three hours. Winter rentals are by appointment only, so call first. Kayak sales, kayaking classes and team-building workshops are also available.
