Today, we, four middle-aged women, were very anxious for our first Kayak trip. After speaking with Nicole, she convinced us that we would be fine. Well, we were not only fine, but had a most enjoyable morning with Jeff Gillette as our guide. Jeff was patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable throughout our 2 hour tour. We all had a wonderful experience, and give Jeff all the credit.

We didn’t actually get to do the SUP tour due to weather, but Dan with the company called us early enough that we hadn’t left yet to let us know that the weather was not cooperating. He was apologetic and offered other options (unfortunately we were leaving the next day and unable to reschedule) so he offered a refund that he said could take up to a week to process but it processed the same day. While bummed we didn’t get to paddle board, we appreciated the effort o get us in another day. We will definitely try again next time we are in the area!

My husband and I were part of a group tour organized by the South Venice Yacht Club. Nichole and the other tour guides at SUP Englewood had nice equipment, good and brief orientation and got us on the water quickly. The tour was excellent and they knew some really good local spots where we could see manatees and dolphins. They were very knowledgeable about the water and local wildlife. Highly recommend!

SO MUCH FUN!!!!! SUP Englewood was so much fun for my cousins and I. We all chose to paddle board for four hours and it was a BLAST. It felt like we were swimming with dolphins with how close they were to us. SUP also provided dry bags for our phones and things. The boards were of great quality. If you’re looking for a SPECTACULAR day out, look no further. Thanks for a great time SUP!!!🌊🦀🐠

We enjoyed our kayak tour of Lemon Bay/Stump Bass Beach State Park with Nicole this past weekend! Be sure to call over the phone - Nicole was able to offer us dates that were unavailable to book digitally on their website. Nicole is SO knowledgeable of the area (she said she spends more time out there than most marine biologists!), kind, and welcoming. She offered us water bottles, dry bags, and sunscreen prior to the tour. Nicole spent time educating us on the history of the area, conservation efforts, and of the wildlife. I only wish she had a personal microphone so that we could hear about everything she was saying more (the teacher in me appreciate all you did!)! We stopped along the mangroves where Nicole let us hold some urchins (she also found some deceased ones and let us keep them!) Further along, we came across a spider crab along the sandbar, which Nicole picked up and told us all about him. She also took videos and pictures the entire tour - so put your phone away and enjoy the hidden gems that this area has to offer. Our vacation was cut short due to an impending tropical storm, but we cannot wait to be back in the area. We want to book the tour for Don Pedro State Park next. Nicole said there is so much more wildlife to be seen down there! Thank you, Nicole and team, for making our vacation special!

Once again, an exceptional experience! Nicole and Ty are always friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the area and where to see all the sea life. We saw so many dolphin and even manatee! The kayaks are in great shape and we even received two bottles of water and a dry bag for our personal items. This is the best kayak rental in Englewood, launching from Don Pedro State Park which has been the best spot to see sea life. Will be returning again soon! Thank you for the most wonderful day!!!

Renting from, or going out on a guided adventure with SUP Englewood is always a wonderful experience. Owner, Nicole, is a state-certified naturalist guide, and you can expect to learn about the area's habitat and wildlife, how to paddle safely and efficiently, and, importantly, have tremendous fun while doing all those things. Beyond that is her kindness and empathy, which make out-of-towners as well as locals immediately comfortable. SUP Englewood rates are reasonable, the same as I've experienced in the half-dozen other Florida cities in which I've rented. A recent article in the local newspaper had a spread on SUP Englewood winning the "2024 Partner of the Year" award from the Punta Gorda Englewood Beach Tourism Bureau. SUP Englewood was also recently granted an official on-site concession status by the Florida State Parks. SUP Englewood is very much the go-to firm for everything kayaking and stand-up paddling.

Our house guests from northern Minnesota like to kayak when they visit us in Englewood. My wife decided to try a rental from SUP at Don Pedro rather than her previous choice elsewhere. The group was very satisfied with this choice. They found they equipment to be good and they enjoyed seeing the manatees from a distance (it's mating season so best not to get too close). They found the life jackets to be OK but would have preferred something that didn't ride up.

They are absolutely amazing ! I’ve been to tours where they rush you and expect you to be pro paddlers and this was the complete opposite.We had 2 tour guides and they were so incredibly kind and helpful. Not to mention made sure we were happy with everything we saw before ending the tour.

Our trip with Danny on 3/20 was great! The weather was perfect and we saw so many manatees! These gentle giants are so neat to see, I could have stayed watching them all day. We also saw starfish in the Mangrove tunnel. Danny's knowledge of the area and animals was vast. I would definitely do this trip again!

My wife and I had an outstanding experience with our kayak tour, it was the highlight of our honeymoon. We saw dolphins and tons of other wildlife! Jeff was our guide and he did an outstanding job directing our group and was very knowledgeable. Rick also was awesome, accomodating a quick schedule change for us. Both knew the area well and gave us great recommendations for beaches and places to eat. Definitely join them for a morning tour!

Incredible experience!! One of the guides was so helpful and recommended the best spots to kayak through and it did not disappoint! We saw multiple dolphins who came up to us and played around our kayaks! We were able to find a gorgeous hidden beach behind the mangroves. It was an adventure from start to finish! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience all the wildlife Florida has to offer!

Mike, our naturalist guide, pointed out and educated us about the many creatures and plants we saw. Without him, we would have missed most of the life beneath the water. He also passed some of these creatures around before returned them gently to their underwater homes. I highly recommend SUP for a fun learning experience.

Mike showed me and my mom around the waters, we learned so much about the flora and fauna around the area and we were so enchanted by everything that we ended up staying on the water for 3 hours! Highly recommend for tourists and locals!

Tips for paddling with kids on kayak rentals

  • Pair kids with an adult in a tandem (two person).  This way someone can take over the paddling if needed. People between 50-110 pounds should be in a tandem kayak due to their weight.
  • Anyone under 50 pounds should ride along on the kayak and not be expected to paddle.  We carry larger kayaks that offer a third seat in the middle of the vessel for smaller riders.
    • These kayaks can hold up to 575 pounds, and up to 2 adults and a child under 50 pounds.
  • If you need this option please ask for a tandem. This kayak is a favorite among families with young children.
  • Ask about our Family Friendly Kayaks.
  • Life vests are provided for all children but let us know how much they weigh in advance.
  • Tandems feature two seats, which are a great for young children to learn how to paddle
  • Don’t forgot the water and sun protection.
  • Enjoy cooler weather during the early morning or later in the evening.
