They do boat trips and also rent other boats. They appear for the boat trips as Suncoast Sailing, it is the same place. The shop located attached to a Waffle house with parking in the back. Interior is a small liquor and fishing store with some tourist items. Staff friendly and the dog was especially friendly to all, except coconuts. There was a larger decent restroom to change, no showers. We had a clear tandem kayak that we got for four hours and they set us up in the back past the parking lot into a canal. They should us a map on how to navigate to Boca Ciega Bay, which is down the canal under two low bridges. We visited the tunnel of mangroves at Eleanor's Island, Little Bird Key Rookery, up to War Veteran's Memorial Park and St. John's Pass Sand Bar. We saw lots of wild life, it was a long paddle out and back. Even saw a manatee. Great time, however we really did not like the clear kayak. It felt very unstable and you have to check your equipment because they almost gave us a cracked paddle before I noticed, and they were nice about switching out. Also the clear kayak needed a float front and back but the back was missing the float, just in case. We did get life preservers which you have to have, but don't have to wear. TAKE A BUCKET to help clean the area, and get a free beer or other drink. I didn't notice until we got back, but cleaning up the water and shoreline is our thing. And we could've got a drink this time. It was good, and sounds like boat trips are the main draw. I liked it but I wish it was closer to the bay for kayaking because we took almost half hour both traveling to and from the bay, but then the canal is where we saw the manatee. So Good trip. I would not do a second time, but first time was worth it.

My cousin and I enjoyed ourselves going through the canals of the treasure island/madeira area. Jason, our guide, and his dog Chewy, were the best company. He talked a bit about the area and some good stories about chewy. The trip was a whole vibe with the lights, a drink in my hand, and music playing. The night we went out was perfect too! Not too hot and not too cold and with little to no wind. I was in the front chilling, paddling at times to help but I think my cousin who was in the back did most of the hard work paddling. Thanks Paige!! We went all the way through the canals that we eventually got to see John's pass. On the way back we saw tiny fish swimming under the boat. During the warmer months, Jason was saying you do get to see more than the tiny fish. I'll definitely be doing this again when I come down with my friends.

The kayak was easy to steer, though my husband and I are both tall and it felt a bit cramped after about an hour -- not a deal breaker at all. The light attached to the kayak was a great touch and helped illuminate the fish we were spotting. We even stopped to feed the catfish and got an up-close view, which was really fun. Although the water was cold and Nolan mentioned some fish weren't out, we still saw plenty and thoroughly enjoyed the calm ride through Sarasota Bay with beautiful views of the city skyline. I would absolutely do this again!

While I understand that weather can impact operations and trips may need to be canceled for safety,…read moremy frustration comes from the complete lack of communication before and after the cancellation. Prior to the trip, I attempted multiple times to contact the company with questions through email, text, and Facebook messages. There was no way to leave a voicemail, and despite messages clearly being read, I received no response. Then, just four hours before the scheduled trip, a generic automated email was sent canceling the experience and instructing customers to request a refund. After that, communication again became nonexistent. I received no response regarding next steps for the refund despite repeated outreach. Unfortunately, I ultimately had to file a dispute with my bank to recover the payment for a service that was never rendered. Weather cancellations are understandable -- poor communication and lack of customer support are not.

I had some prior experience, but my boyfriend did not. Greg quickly gave him a tutorial on getting on the board, paddling, and standing, and within half an hour, my boyfriend was paddling like a pro! We explored the Shell Key Preserve area, benefiting from very little wind, thanks to Greg's advice on the best day to go. Along our journey, we were fortunate enough to see bonnethead sharks (harmless), horseshoe crabs, herons, osprey, and needlefish. We paddled through beautiful mangrove tunnels while learning about the various types of vegetation. A highlight of the trip was stopping at a glorious white sand beach, where we swam for half an hour. The best part was seeing all the cormorants surrounding us during our three-hour adventure! It turns out that cormorants frequently use paddleboards and kayaks to their advantage; the shadow from the SUP scares fish hiding in seagrass beds. Greg was genuine, approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and informative--paddling with him felt like having a flora and fauna guidebook by our side. He's the kind of guy you'd want to be friends with, regardless of whether you book a tour with him. We felt safe, entertained, and had a brilliant day with him!
