Paddle Sarasota

Turtle Beach is a great place to paddle! We start on the intercostal and paddle down a short canal to the Bay. We paddle around the mangrove islands of Jim Neville Marine Preserve and then through a few mangrove tunnels to a “secret” beach.  This beach is only accessible by boat so we may have it to ourselves.  Such a beautiful place for a quick swim or just stopping for a few moments to relax.

Paddle Siesta Key! Away from all the hustle and bustle of Siesta Key, is our favorite local beach, Turtle Beach.

From our launch, you can paddle down the intercoastal, around acres of mangrove islands.  Take the kayaks and ashore at Midnight Pass and spend time exploring the beach.  This is a great place to look for shells, take a dip in the ocean or just relax.  With our rentals, you have plenty of time.

#Want to explore on your own? Get instruction and directions from our guides and then set out on your own. This location is a nice and easy paddle in a bay filled with wildlife.   This area is a prime location for viewing manatees and dolphins.

A beautiful and quiet paddle in Sarasota Bay with a great view of the Sarasota skyline. This area is home to lots of manatees and dolphins.

This is an easy paddle in the shallow open water, along mangrove islands. This area is frequented by manatees and the dolphins feed off the grass flats here.

If you are looking for a beautiful easy paddle near Lido Key, Longboat Key or downtown Sarasota, this is it.

If the winds are not favorable for your paddle, we will reach out with options to rebook, reschedule or refund.  We want to make sure you have a good time and are paddling in good conditions.

* We are so certain that you will see dolphins, manatees or both on this tour that we guarantee it (April-September).  If you don’t see them, we will issue a gift card so you can come back and try again.

The highlight of the tour is paddling through the winding tunnels cut through the mangroves.  Wildlife abounds on this paddle with mangrove crabs, interesting birds, fish, invertebrates, and even marine mammals. It is a great day on the water.

Our beginner surf lessons are a great way to get started with surfing while on the west coast of Florida.  Sarasota has some great beginner waves and when the waves come through they can be really fun.  Get started on a lifetime of fun with our private surf lessons.

Paddleboard, Surf and Beach camp is all about fun!  Classes are led by certified lifeguards.  Lots of kids sign up for more than one week because it is just so much fun to paddleboard and surf with our coaches.

Sarasota has so much to explore on the water.  While we offer two convenient launch locations on Lido Key and Siesta Key, sometimes it makes sense to rent kayaks and paddleboards to use during your entire vacation.

We offer free delivery for all of our kayak and paddleboard rentals.  Deliveries occur between 8:00 am-9:00 am and pick ups happen around 6:00-7:00pm.

Enjoy a morning of sun, surf, and serenity as we take you on a scenic paddle adventure to Turtle Beach! Immerse yourself in the beauty of Sarasota’s coastline, as you paddle through clear, calm waters with the sun glistening on the horizon.
