Great customer service, extremely stable and easy to paddle stand up paddle boards and a fabulous location. We rented in November and saw manatees (including a baby manatee), small nurse sharks and iguanas. 2 Great paddle routes- one to the mangroves and one to an island off the coast. We were able to do them both. Very reasonable dialy flat rate which is much more relaxing than renting by the hour and trying to time everything. The shop is really nice too with lots of sun shirts.

We had a great time! Very worth it for the price. We got to use the paddles all day. Our booking was self-guided, but the tour guides seemed awesome and super nice.

Loved the experience. We (2 older couples, 55+) were all new to paddle boarding and it was a windy day. The folks there explained what to do and how to get started. We found our way through the creeks from their guidance. We saw fish and birds and even a dolphin at the end and we all survived the trip! We had a few mishaps, but we now have some stories to tell. They were patient and kind and offered to allow us to change to kayaks if the wind was too bad, but we didn’t have to take them up on that. Can’t wait to try it again!

We had a great time! The staff was helpful and friendly, and have a place to leave our car keys and use the restroom before heading out. They also took a minute to talk us through the helpful map of the area which they have hanging right by the loading dock so we'd be familiar with where to go. We booked the SUPs for the full day so we did the mangroves in the morning, which was quite a unique experience. Several hundred yards of narrow, winding cuts (sometimes we had to lay flat on our backs) which finally open up to lagoons, the second one much larger than the first. Took us a little over 2 hours. We came back to the launch place to take a break and eat the lunch we had packed. Then we paddled out again, this time towards the mouth of the channel out to a tiny island with a very small beach and even a little wooden swing set. We relaxed for a bit there before paddling back in, this one was just over an hour including a stop at the island. The weather was perfect, had a wonderful time.

Great experience! From the moment we walked in the door everything was top notch. Perfect customer service and interaction. My wife & I wanted to rent paddle boards 3/22 but the staff advised kayaks due to wind speed and direction. They thoroughly informed us where to go/not go based on conditions. We saw manatee, tarpon, countless fish of all kinds! We came back on Friday 3/25 & used paddle boards with another great in-store & outdoor experience. Price was $30 for double Kayak and $35/paddleboard, WELL WORTH OUR EXPERIENCE! Thanks guys, we’ll be back!

We rented SUPs for the day and got awesome directions to the mangrove tunnels to the lagoon. It was fantastic! One of the best paddles we've ever done. The access from the launch was perfect, the boards were in great condition, the location was incredible. We passed a tour group from Paddle on our way back and the guide pointed out where the manatees were. We hung out for a bit and found them. Incredible! An awesome experience all around.

This was my husband's and my first paddle boarding experience and we loved it! It was a windy day so we had to use a little more muscle but Steven, one of the instructors, had given us such great tips and directions that we felt like Pro's! Brittney at the front register signed us in when we arrived and took the time to attach reinforcement ties to my hat so it wouldn't blow away. 2 thumbs up for customer service. They both went over and above to help us and we will definitely come back to "Paddle! The Florida Keys" again during our next visit. We felt we picked the right place as paddling through the mangrove was superb. It gave us a chance to relax, explore, and take some fun pictures. I highly recommend bringing or purchasing a waterproof cell phone case to hang around your neck. I wore water shoes, my husband bare feet. Wear long sleeves if you tend to burn in the sun and sunscreen. Follow the current when you can and have fun! Great place!

We had such a great time kayaking with Brittany. She was an excellent tour guide, explaining (seriously, but with an awesome sense of humor) the surrounding nature, the wildlife we could see, and the wildlife we did see. She took pics of all of us with the wildlife and the natural surroundings and even provided tips on local eateries and places to go. Couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better experience. We saw manatees, tons of different species of fish and plenty of birds. We would recommend PADDLE to anyone looking for a place to kayak or paddle board in the area!

We actually paid a launch $10 launch fee to have great access to use our own SUP’s and were given maps and were able to rinse off and pack our gear after. ( they also had very nice equipment if one wants to rent) This is one of four places we have paddle boarded this trip, so far, but hands down the best so far! Will probably do this once more this trip. Also ran into a guide while out paddling, who caught a snake and showed us and taught us how to catch the crabs for a photo. Best experience of trip in mangroves so far!
