Awesome time. Mike is very nice. Whole family from 12 yr old to 70 yr old had a ton of fun. Definitely worth it. Seeing a couple dolphins was a plus.

Mike was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He provided a map, dry bag, and good directions with current tide conditions. The paddle board was perfect and the weather was great. No manatees or dolphins in November. But still a great time :)

Highly recommend this activity for anyone wanting to explore more of florida’s natural habitat around the beach and waterways. Mike was extremely friendly and professional. My fiancé thought he looked like John B! We rented standup paddle boards (which may be abbreviated as “SUP”). We loved the beach we could paddle too- white sand and shells everywhere. The mangrove tunnels were also really cool!

My friend and I are local and trying to figure out if we want to buy some paddle boards! We went on a Wednesday for 2 hours and ended up back there that Saturday for 3! Mike and his crew have been great! Very helpful and informative, they have some awesome scenic routes (we even saw dolphins on Saturday!!) and have the best prices I have found in the area!! Absolutely recommend them for locals and visitors alike!!

My husband and I had a great experience renting paddleboards from Mike’s! We called and it was quick and easy to get a next day reservation, and Mike’s location was easy to find. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful, and their boards and kayaks are fantastic quality. We’ll definitely be booking with him again soon.
