Description

What makes this experience unique is where you get to paddle — the Jim Neville Marine Preserve and out toward Midnight Pass, one of Siesta Key’s most beautiful natural areas. With a self-guided kayak or paddleboard rental, you’re not locked into a tour schedule, so you can truly take your time and soak it all in. Some guests love lingering in the mangroves, gliding through calm water and exploring little side areas. Others want more time posted up at the beach shelling, swimming, or just relaxing in the sun. The best part is: it’s completely up to you. This area is also a favorite for wildlife watching. Keep your eyes open for dolphins cruising through, manatees (seasonal), and plenty of bird life along the shoreline and mangroves. We’ll have your gear ready to go and provide a map plus local tips so you can choose the best route for the day’s conditions and the kind of adventure you’re looking for.

Beautiful waters and knowledgeable staff

Micheal was so knowledgeable and explained to us where we should go! The water was absolutely stunning and there were a few sandbars swim off, great for kids and families. Honestly didn't even feel like we were in Florida with how clear the water was. Midnight pass was also an awesome sight with the mix of currents and varying shades of blue.

Fun with the family

We had such a great time! We did the tandem kayaks with my teenagers and it was a huge hit! I like that it was in a controlled area not just the open sea. We will definitely be doing it again!

SURFit is the best!

What an awesome experience! William was great and helped us launch our boards into the water and taught us how to use the dry bags to protect our keys and phones. We paddled for two hours and loved every minute. Will definitely rent again!

Accommodating

Wanted to go to Siesta Key but they had an employee sick. They contacted me right away to change locations to Ted Sperling Nature Park. Unbeknownst to them we are going back there with a different company to do the same thing again tomorrow which I paid for already. Had two teenage girls with me so we went for it. The price was right.
