My friend and I rented single kayaks from here and had an absolute blast exploring the bay all day. The staff was personable and knowledgeable and the prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely rent kayaks from here again without a doubt and I look forward to it. Thanks guys.

So accommodating!
My husband and I wanted to SUP around sunset, near closing time, and Scott was so very accommodating to us!
As first-​time SUP-​ers, we were given basic instruction and confidence before setting off.
We saw an array of small sharks and rays and coral.
A wonderfully memorable tenth-​anniversary experience for my husband and I!

We had an absolute blast! If you’re looking for a fun time with knowledgeable staff about the area and the local ecosystem, this is the place. Ask for kayak tour guide Mike, he was the best. This place is well worth the money which was reasonably priced compared to others in the area. We will definitely be back! Thank you again, Mike, for taking such good care of us!

Went down to the Keys with no specific plans and after a nice lunch I saw a sign on the road for paddleboarding and kayak rentals. When we went into the store we were greeted by many nice people. The store itself, had a lot of boards and decks for sale as well as many other cool items for sale. We rented two paddleboards at $ 35 for the day. We saw a map of where to go and then we were off! We spent about two hours out. Really loved the area in which we paddled around (cool houses and mangroves) and the staff was super chill and nice. When we came back we rinsed off and changed in the bathrooms and was off! No hotel needed! Was a great Sunday Funday and will def be back soon.

Absolutely fantastic paddle board rental experience. Their equipment is OUTSTANDING. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. And their location is perfect for either an ocean journey or a very cool paddle through the mangroves.

This was my first paddle board experience and I’m glad I went to this shop. Scott was SUPER busy, but he still got everyone out on the water with proper instructions and light-​hearted encouragement for this first timer. The boards were in great condition — practically new. Scott showed us a map and gave clear instructions where we should go. He adjusted our paddles to our height. Mainly, he gave me excellent advice for my first paddle board experience. I bought a certificate for this shop at a charity event. I’d like to thank the shop, again, for making a donation to Voices of the Florida Keys, which supports disadvantaged children in this area.

Signed up for an 8am eco tour at 10:45pm the night before. Sure enough, someone was there to meet us. But, since we really just wanted to explore the secret lagoon route, he let us just do a daily rental and go our own way… two hours before officially opening. We had to meet people for lunch but when we turned the kayaks in, he said to come on back if we wanted to take them out again since we’d paid for the day.
Great prices and friendly, flexible staff.

We went on a 2 hour eco tour. 3 of us had never been paddle boarding and I had only gone once. Our tour guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable about the Keys and I learned a lot. I encourage beginners to try it as it is a beautiful way to see the Keys. Don’t forget to wear Sunscreen.

Got overcharged for two paddles & then waited over an hour to get the paddles. We felt forgotten, the guy kept saying «I’ll be right back», but then went to lead a tour & there was no one else to help us. We got there the first thing in the morning and they were STILL too busy. Then the guy didn’t even apologize & just said «boy, it’s been busy», promised he’d teach us how to paddle, but instead, gave us a lecture on how not to scratch his precious paddle boards and sent us off without a lesson. Apparently $ 30 for an all day rental really translates to «I’ll charge your credit card $ 74 for going out for an hour…

Incredible! Highly recommend! Weve been coming to the Keys for years! First time trying this, and so glad we did! We had a blast, from my two 8 yr olds to my 25 yr old neices and nephews! It was a fun two hour tour. We saw a lot of beautiful fish, sadly no manatee. Definitely recommend! Fun activity!

Chris, our guide, was the bee’s knees! Beginner or not in paddleboarding, this was the highlight of our trip to the keys. I left feeling very peaceful and also left feeling as if I made a new friend (Chris!) love that guy! Also held my first starfish during this little tour! Their shop is pretty cute, too. Lots of o’neil stuff, so if you’re 24 looking for a new sit in key largo, go here. ;)

We absolutely loved that we were able to experience SUP with this business! Our appointment was for 9am and we were helped right when we walked in. Mike helped us get all signed in and onto our boards. He was able to explain to my friend who had zero experience how to steer and stand properly.
We went out about 930 and stayed out for a few hours. Saw jellyfish, sharks, and huge stingrays.
Such an amazing experience out here in the Keys.
I definitely recommend this shop for all your boarding needs, the guys are amazing help. Super knowledgeable and friendly as ever.

Scott & the whole crew at Paddle the Florida Keys are all GREAT. They are easy going & have well maintained SUP equipment. The instructor was very friendly & knowledgeable. They take the time to get you ready before you hit the water. Safety first! They even have SUP Yoga classes! The surrounding area is a beautiful safe place to paddle & they tell you all the best spots to go. Best SUP rental operation in the Upper Keys, Check them out — you’ll be glad you did.

I called up a couple other places but we decided this place was close enough for us. When we got there we were greeted with smiles. It was the easiest process to get done and out. Mike explained the technique of paddle boarding very well. This was our first time getting on and we were able to go all the way out to the mangroves and explore other areas with no problem.
Highly recommend!

Great place for water activities. Been here a couple of times, and the staff is always welcoming and helpful — Go out of their way to ensure your safety and have lots of experience about the surrounding environment. They have plenty of board selection, kayaks and a small boutique shop.
TIP: Bring water shoes

I went back once again last weekend because it’s the only place with this friendly and cool of a staff! Scott the owner is a great guy! His staff is very passionate about what they do. His shop is a great place to hangout and have an amazing paddle experience! I paddleboard although he does have kayaks as well. His new location is the perfect place due to it being on a canal smack between the bay and the ocean. You can’t ask for much more. Make sure you check out the private beach area and ask about the next night time party or race! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else! Go see Scott and tell him Tiger sent you ;-)
See you on the water!
