The short version
Routes and departure times
Cam Ranh Boat Trip runs a private three-to-four-hour outing on Cam Ranh bay, south of Nha Trang: a speedboat around the lagoon, SUP boards, swimming at Bãi Dứa, a guide, a life jacket and a dry bag, help with photos and video, fruit and drinking water.

FAQ
Is the price per person?
What is included, and what is not?
How long does it last and when does it start?
How many people can join, and can children come?
Where does it take place, and is there a transfer?
Two things separate this from a paddle you might picture off the city beach.
Where does the day happen?
It does not happen in Nha Trang: the pier is on Cam Ranh bay, south of the city, and the transfer from your resort is explicitly not included, so budget the road as well as the water.
And the boat does the travelling and the board does the playing — the price covers a return speedboat trip around the lagoon with the SUP as the activity at the stops, not a paddle-powered crossing.
Who pays what?
The fare is priced per guest, which makes the family arithmetic simple: under-5s go free, 6 to 9 costs 392,000 VND (about $15), and above six guests the trip is arranged with the operator rather than booked off the shelf.
Included are the guide, the life jacket and dry bag, help with photos and video, fruit and drinking water; excluded are the resort transfer, 10% VAT and anything else.
What if the wind gets up?
Both departures — 08:00 to 11:30 and 15:00 to 17:30 — are short windows that a windy morning can close.
Important
if the weather keeps the boat in, the deposit comes back or the day is moved.
