Awesome time! My niece and i used the kayaks and my brother and daughter used the paddle boards and it was such a great time! Manatees and dolphins both came up to us. It was amazing and one of the highlights of our vacation. The staff was amazing, very patient in teaching us how to use the equipment and very knowledgeable of the area and wildlife! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Superb experience. All the staff were hugely welcoming and couldn’t have done more to accommodate us - when the weather turned inclement, they didn’t hesitate to rebook for another date for us to come back. The kayaks were very good quality and the entire day was great. We saw dolphins and manatees, as well as other wildlife like ospreys. Can’t recommend them highly enough - of all the excursions in the area that we did, they were the most friendly and welcoming. Thanks to Ray and your team for a memorable vacation experience!

My boyfriend and I had a great time kayaking with Danny as our tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, wildlife, and environment. One of the highlights was spotting a manatee and her baby multiple times — such an unforgettable experience! We also got to watch seagulls and osprey diving into the water to catch fish, which was so cool to see up close. I was a little nervous beforehand since I hadn’t kayaked in years and had only done it on a river. But Danny went over all the techniques and safety tips before we got started, which really helped me feel confident and comfortable on the water. I highly recommend SUP if you’re looking for a fun way to explore local wildlife and enjoy being out on the water!

Great experience for us! The employees were kind and helpful, I had a few questions when I booked online and they were quick to return my email and had tons of useful information for me. They provide a map which helped us a lot, and gave us tips on where to see wild life and how to get to an island to swim. I highly recommend booking a kayak trip with these guys!

Booked a last-minute kayak tour with SUP Englewood and had an amazing time! We saw dolphins, manatees, and even a conch. The water was beautiful and the whole experience was super laid-back and fun. Our guide, Jeff, was awesome—funny, easygoing, and really knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Knowing many of us left our phones behind, he even took photos for everyone during the tour, which was such a nice bonus. The entire process was quick and easy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun way to explore and see some incredible animals up close! Thanks, again, Jeff & the entire SUP Englewood team!

We took a group of Girl Scouts on a kayak adventure as a cookie reward. SUP Englewood was amazing! We had a fabulous tour. We got to see a dolphin, a manatee, and many other small animals. Our guides, Nicole and Tye, were incredible and very knowledgeable. Everyone was wonderful to work with and the equipment was in excellent shape. I would highly recommend using them for your next adventure!

Our guide Danny was excellent! Very friendly and informative! He spent ample time providing good safety tips and paddling techniques aimed at the first time kayaker/stand up board user. Born and raised in Englewood, I could quickly tell that he genuinely loves his job and all the various wildlife that lives in this area. He has a wealth of knowledge about all of the birds, fish, manatees and dolphins and I made sure to stay within earshot of his detailed descriptions of this beautiful ecosystem which you can certainly tell that he loves his place as a guide. He knows where to find and see the various aquatic/air residents respecting their space and knows their habits & eating spots. He takes pictures of each customer at various spots along the way so you really don't need to bring your phone avoiding the risk dropping it in the drink and sends them to your email. Bonus! He took us to an excellent spot to see manatees up close and they were swimming, eating and playing all around our small group some of which are close to the size of the kayak! They seemed just as curious about us as we were of them. Along the way we also saw a big black pelican dive down and scoop up a fish right in front of us and we also saw a tri-colored heron hunting, osprey, silver mullet fish jumping and the way back we saw a couple of dolphins that came by to say hi to us! He never stopped providing details of what we encountered, answering any and all questions asked. I would highly recommend taking one of their fantastic tours to anyone that lives in Florida or is visiting the area like I was. it was a very unique experience that I will never forget! And I really liked them sending me all the pictures taken from a nice standing vantage point. Thank you so much Danny and company! Five stars!!!!!

Easy to book. Flexible with our group especially after we were caught in a lightning storm. They had boats by the dock and gave clear directions. They even sent a guide out when the weather was changing. 100% would do it again.

Danny was amazing! He underpromised and over delivered on the sightings, we say manatees, dolphins, and some cool birds. Would highly recommend the guided tour for first timers, he knew all the spots 😎

My son and I visit Englewood each summer and we always rent kayakers on Boca Grande. This year we wanted to try a guided tour of the local mangroves and we were not disappointed! In a word, SUP Englewood was AWESOME! Our guide and Master Naturalist, Danny, was a phenomenal host. He was incredibly knowledgable about the local area, did a great job keeping our small group entertained. He even took a ton a pictures so we didn't have to! We saw a dolphin, several manatees (very cool), and lots of different birds. Paddling around the mangroves was quiet, relaxing, and beautiful. The tour was worth the time and money. Thanks SUP Englewood!

We rented kayaks today from SUP Englewood Rentals and had such a great experience! The whole process was easy and smooth, and the staff was super friendly and helpful in getting us set up. Our family had a wonderful time out on the water — the scenery was beautiful, and it was the perfect way to spend the day together. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing outdoor activity in the area!

This is our second year using SUP Englewood. We did a mix of paddle boards and kayaks. The check-in process was fast and the staff were very accommodating. All your equipment will be ready to go at the starting point. We got to see lots of wild life and went through a really cool maze/tunnel where we saw lots of unique fish. We requested Jeff again as our guide, and he did not disappoint. He is very helpful, kind, and patient with newbies. He makes the day of fun experience!! We can’t wait to go again! This will always be our go to company to use. Thank you SUP of Englewood! The Kfourys

We were very please with our tour, definitely something we would do again! Our tour guide Jeff was amazing! Very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable! We saw dolphins and got a manatee experience!

google

Would highly recommend! My husband and I have both only kayaked once before and our son has done it a few times. Jeff was a great instructor and guide. We felt completely comfortable out on the water with him. We all had a great time! He went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We got to see some dolphins playing together. It was amazing! If you are in the area, don't hesitate to give them a try. You won't regret it!

My husband and I went out with Tye today and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We wanted to have a fun afternoon and experience something new as we are new to Florida, and this was fantastic. Best part for us was seeing the manatee so close to us. The beach was also beautiful! Thankful Tye got some photos of us to share and reminisce about. Definitely recommend!

Jeff was our guide, and he was amazing. We had a great time! We saw tons of wildlife and were able to see the Gulf. He was so knowledgeable and very kind. We can’t wait to come back in December!

We had an amazing day on the water. Jeff was our guide and he was awesome! The entire experience was so memorable and the cherry on top was seeing some manatee. I would highly recommend them and will book another tour the next time we visit.

Rented a few of their kayaks and had a blast. The staff is knowledgeable and informed us about how to make the best of our trip. The "dolphin wall," which is about a 10 minute paddle from the dock, is where we saw two dolphins. Only a little down further is where we saw the elusive manatee. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Both basically where they said we'd see these creatures.

Wonderful experience with Ray. We know seeing wildlife isn’t guaranteed, but we saw everything we were hoping for and more. Ray had great stories and so much knowledge. Would come down to Florida again just to go on this excursion and see the manatees with SUP! 🌊

This was a great day with Danny the guide. He was energetic, knolable and kind. They offer guided tours to show you around and you can also rent kayaks and go on your own. Nice spot for this. Thank you Danny for a memorable experience on our honeymoon. Dan & Justine Mason

Nicole was super friendly from booking to signing waivers. Captain Ray was super knowledgeable and helped accommodate our Grandmother and nine year old. Great trip. Tons of shade on the boat which was important for us. Great paddle boarding , dolphin spotting and shelling. Will definitely go again. Truly enjoyed supporting this local owned family business. True pride in ownership displayed with excellent customer experiences and service. Glad to see the hurricane recovery happening, keep the support coming their direction!

These guys are top of the pack. Ray is super helpful and took great care of us. Even came back to the launch spot and exchanged two single kayaks for our tandem kayak midway through our rental time. If you want to rent kayaks in Boca, this is the place.

Amazing paddle adventure! Quick and seamless to organize. Booked by calling phone number. Lady was very helpful and explained details clearly. Emailed paperwork and let us pay online before we arrived. My GF and I had only a couple of hours to explore because we needed to head back home to Jax FL. Got two single kayaks for $100 out the door. Even gave me a fishing kayak to help store my rod and tackle instead of regular. Easy drive and plenty of parking when we arrived. Two coed bathrooms to change in and a hose to rinse off when done. Staff was helpful and came up with a map and route that accommodated our short time which included dolphins, sight seeing, fishing and a mangrove canopy route (Amazing!). All was accomplished and we were satisfied. We will be back for sure!

Had an amazing kayak tour with SUP Englewood! Our guide, Danny, was knowledgeable and fun, and we saw tons of wildlife, stingrays, fish, an osprey nest, and even a secret mangrove tunnel. A truly unforgettable and unique experience. Highly recommend!!

This is our 2nd guided kayaking trip with SUP. Jeff was our guide both times. Both tours were excellent. For the first tour in February he took us to see an Osprey nest, through a tunnel of mangroves and into a hidden lagoon. On the second tour in May he took us to see the same Osprey nest to see their babies, dolphins, and then over to gasparilla island to walk on the beach. Beautiful beach! Jeff is an amazing guide, stays engaged with his group, and keeps the tour fun! Very knowledgeable as well. Thank you, Jeff. We will be back!

Our group of 6 loved our tour! Lots of wildlife - dolphins, manatees, ospreys, and more. Our guide, Tye, was awesome - very knowledgeable and helpful, and made extra effort to show us all the best spots. The company was great to work with, too, and helped us switch our time slot when a bad storm came through during our original booking. Can’t recommend this enough!

Everything about this trip was perfect. The staff were all super friendly and our guide, Tye, gave us a great tour and was very fun and knowledgeable. We saw manatees, dolphins, stingrays, and much more. Would highly recommend!!

The kayaking experience was so fabulous. From the check in to the safety guide, to the kayak itself was super. The dolphins were playing all over the bay right in front of us. Super experience! Would definitely use them again.

Danny was our tour guide on a kayak trip through the mangroves. He was very informative about the eco system, fish, wildlife & birds. A truly great guide. We will surely book another tour.

We took a tandem kayak out on a guided tour, and our guide Jeff was fantastic! He was highly knowledgeable about the area and vegetation, personable and down to earth. This is a great activity if you're looking for something to do to get out and explore!!
