Kayaking SRQ — Local services in Sarasota

We scheduled a 12pm kayak tour myself, my 12 yo son and my mother. We walked to a small area to launch. They assisted to get in and out of the kayaks. Kayak options are single or doubles. The instructions were clear. Weather was amazing, a light breeze, warm and slightly cloudy, so being out in the heat wasn't that bad. We saw Manatees in the open area of the bay then went into the mangroves. Wildlife all around, we saw crabs, birds and even a starfish!! Jacob was knowledgeable and the tour was amazing! I had such a great time. Closer to the end, we stopped at a private beach for pictures and wading and then returned to the open bay to see the Manatees again. We finished with a fresh water shower right near the launch. Area was well kept and had bathrooms that were clean. Some things I learned: The kayaks are flat bottom and you will get wet. I recommend a swim suit or bringing clothing you can change into. Don't forget to apply sun screen to legs as they are very exposed to the sun while kayaking and you will get burnt. Its very bright out there with the sun reflecting the water, a hat or good sun glasses are a must. Overall, would highly recommend and will likely return again if in...

Jack was amazing, such a cool dude! I was looking for some outdoor activities in Siesta Key and I came across their website so I took a look at the, I liked the reviews and all the info on there so I contact them 3 days ago through the phone, the staff was supper helpful and cool, and I ended up book a guided tour. The experience was outstanding! Soon as I got there Jack was waiting for us right next to the truck, he gave me the waiver to sign and the plastic bags. Soon as the group came together he asked us who have had any experience kayaking, wrapped things up and gave us a very explanation of how the kayak works and how to kayaking, it was very helpful. So We hop on the boat and our trip got started. Throughout the trip he was as giving us a overview of the local biome and we ended up in a sandbar with the group, but to get there it was a big rough, I made through but a group of people was struggling a bit to get through the currents so Jack got up of his boat and helped them to get through it towing them to the beach where we were able to appreciate the nature, gather some shells and some shark teeth. Overall such a cool experience, I’d definitely do it again! Thank you guys for the...

This was by far the best kayaking experience I’ve had. Initially it was cloudy and storm-like, so Jeff called us to ensure we were aware before coming in the afternoon and even offered to come some other time and honor our reservation if needed. We decided to go earlier than 2pm instead and Jeff made sure our reservations were updated to 12pm to fulfill our last minute choice. He let us call him and take as long as we needed to make rescheduling logistics. Upon arrival, we were instantly pleased with how nice and understanding he was. Turns out, the weather changed and it was sunny as it could ever get. So glad we decided to go for it! He gave us detailed references and maps. The kayaks were impeccable and in place for us. He made sure we had safety precautions, our phones, and some water. We found the hidden beach he mentioned, SO WORTH IT! We had the whole beach to ourselves! It was beautiful! Will come...
