Glad we went with Family-Owned! - Our family of 5 rented a waterbike, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddleboards for 2 hours and LOVED IT! The experience paddling with manatees was unreal, but the customer service from Paddles Outdoors was unmatched. I had called around to several other places that were unpleasant on the phone, but upon talking to these guys, it was like night and day! They were polite, helpful in our logistics (coming from Orlando with a small RV), and able to book us same day with rentals during a busier season. We all appreciated the easy check-in process and the ride over to the launch. Paddling to Three Rivers took us maybe 30 minutes and was doable for all of us age 14-50+. It was pretty windy, so us paddleboarding had a harder time, so check the weather! (Unrelated, we had a good time driving over to Fort Island Gulf Beach for a while after, grabbing food at Shrimp Landing on the way, before trekking back to Orlando.) All in all, EXCELLENT experience with this family-owned and operated small business! Thanks so much!
