Ask for Jeff! He’s the Best! Love Kayaking SRQ! - We Absolutely Love Jeff at Kayaking SRQ! We should probably own kayaks by now but we just love seeing Jeff. He’s become our kayaking family-Kayak Dad. He’s always so happy! He gives the kids sharks teeth and educates the kids about marine life, he loves rating their dock jumps and he always lets us know where the manatees are and what the water conditions are. We just really enjoy renting from Kayaking SRQ! Jessie makes it easy to book and they really go above and beyond.

Great Guided Kayak Eco Tour - We had an amazing Guided Kayak Eco Tour with Kaleb. Bird and fish id, mangroves described area history, even restaurant and book reviews and recommendations. Manatee sightings and encounter. Kaleb was a great guide for a couple capable paddlers. Highly recommended.

Great afternoon kayak tour - Caleb was our guide. I had my 10 year old granddaughter with me and he was so patient and had a great way of instructing her on her level. She felt at ease with him and we both enjoyed his knowledge of the area. Such a polite, fun and accommodating young man! Loved every minute of this tour!
