When I sold my last kayak, I took the guy out for a 6-hour fishing day off the buoy at Dana Point! That said, there were some special circumstances and I would say that probably isn't the norm. At best you might get to paddle around in a harbor or bay somewhere. Maybe more than that if you're serious about buying and are respectful and honest to the seller.
