Fish is always excellent here. Service is great. I know that it is a chain, but it is a good chain! It is always consistent and the service is always good! The one in Dunedin on the Causeway is my favourite Frenchy's, with Rockaway being a close second! read more

The staff was so nice and so accommodating. We only booked a one hour kayak and everyone was so nice and we also ended up dining at one of their restaurants down the street and it was delicious. read more

We rented a bike and pickleball racquets while vacationing in Clearwater Beach recently and their service was exceptional. The bike was in great condition and the paddles were top notch brands. Each of the people we dealt with over the course of the week were friendly and welcoming. So glad we found them. read more

Vacationing in Clearwater and picked up a cheap Nike that needed attention. The young woman at Frenchy outfitters hooked me up with air in the Tire and gave me an alien wrench for the handlebars. Pleasant as could be. Later, I returned to select some Fishing line but didn't need what was on display. The young woman and man said take the broken reel, it has lots of line on it. Just use that. Nicest people! Recommend highly. read more

Lots of inventory and a great store given the location. Unfortunately staff is not overly friendly and took zero initiative to see if we needed help or were looking for something in particular. Note that we did not rent anything, merely went in the store to buy gear. We really enjoyed the save the marine themes of a lot of the items to purchase. Overall, we would come back based on the others feedback and would consider renting equipment. read more

Frenchy's Outfitters - Paddleboarding Near Me - Clearwater Beach, Florida

I have always wanted to try paddleboarding so I bought a gift certificate during a charity silent auction for Clearwater Paddle. I chose to go on the Monday after the 4th of July because I figured it would be less busy as would the intercoastal and it was. I would recommend beginners try to do the same because you won't have to worry about boat traffic as much. Also, the intercoastal tends to be more calm and it is easier to stand up when the water is smooth. I called in advance to reserve my board, and when I got there, they allowed me to leave my beach bag in the office. You can take your sunscreen, shoes and water and a towel with you because there is a box at the dock but if you want to leave your phone and keys (or other valuables) someplace safer I would leave it with them at the store. The owner walked me out to the dock and gave me a thorough lesson on how to get up, paddle and get back on if I do fall (I didn't fall.) He also suggested going over to the cove near the aquarium because it is even calmer. I was able to get up on my first try, and paddle over to the cove, paddle around, see a dolphin, and paddle back. I had to sit down a couple times because my toes got numb and to take a sip of water. On my way back across the intercoastal, the wind and waves and current picked up so it was a little more challenging but not enough to sway me from coming back! As someone who kayaks, I see each as having pros and if you are someone who has kayaked before, it won't be too difficult. And if you would prefer to kayak, they rent those too. read more

It's a workout but it's another way you can enjoy the water and the weather big fun and did I say it's a workout Yes your core will get worked again it's just another way to enjoy the water read more

Super great place to rent paddle boards. Chris, the owner and staff (Brandon) were AWESOME!! Super nice and helpful. The boys had a fabulous time paddle boarding at the North Beach.

Highly recommend them. read more

Rented their beach cart package and it was awesome. Affordable and they were very friendly and laid-back.

I rented a paddleboard today! This was one of the best paddle board experiences i've ever had! I loved it! The staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable on everything paddleboards. They made sure I was comfortable on my board, helped me on and off the board, and even informed me of the winds and directions for where to go. If you're in the area and looking to paddle board-this is the place to go! I also purchased a t shirt from their shop before leaving! I will definitely be back next time! read more

First of all, awesome store. They have a great selection of surf-style clothing and accessories but let me tell you about Katy!! I wanted to order, and have shipped to me, something I saw in the store but didn't buy at the time. Katy went WAY above and beyond pulling out products and sending me pictures to make sure I received exactly what I was looking for. She was so nice about! I'm very grateful for her help. read more

This was an amazing paddleboard experience! Chris went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. My friend and I are beginners and he checked to see whether the intercoastal or gulf side was more appropriate, dropped us off at the correct spot, and gave us a great mini lesson to get us started. At the end he even took a few great pictures of us! My friend and I had so much fun and were really impressed by the whole experience and customer service. P.s. Chris is opening up a larger shop in 3 weeks on mandalay Ave! Make sure you visit the big new shop :) read more

As part of our Orlando vacation, we decided to stop by Clearwater Beach and were looking for some fun adventures that were a bit more engaging than sitting on the beach the whole day! So were decided to rent paddleboards, and found this nifty little place very close to the beach. We were greeted very warmly by the store employees, and one of them, a super friendly lady, was our "instructor" for the day. She led us to the water with our paddleboards, and showed us the basics of paddleboarding. Her instructions were very thorough and helpful (we've paddleboarded before but I still felt pretty shaky at the start, so she definitely gave me a boost of confidence). Once I got started, it was really easy and fun - quite relaxing, really. We explored the Mandalay Channel, paddleboarding to the other side to the marinas and the piers where birds were hunting fish near the docks. We also paddleboarded to the area near the Clearwater Memorial Bridge and found many mussels and oysters (?). And at times we decided to take a break, so we sat down and relaxed on our paddleboards. I even decided to jump into the water for a quick soak! Overall, we had a great time, and will definitely recommend this place. 5 stars all the way! read more

We all had great boards and paddles. We all had an fantastic paddlebord experience and will be back again soon.

Bought 2 Yolo bikes and a paddleboard here from the extremely friendly staff. Got a better deal$ here than Yolo online. They modified my bike as requested so it was exactly what I wanted. A few weeks later one pedal was making noises so I brought it back in. Erica rode my bike, diagnosed it, and then fixed it for NO CHARGE. She showed me how she adjusted it to stop the noise. Will always shop here now that I am a local. read more

See all

Chris and staff were super friendly. They do everything for you including putting paddleboard in water and putting it up. They offer a free instructional class which we found so useful because we had never been out. Location along water is great too with lots of places to take the paddle board. Their store offers alot of merchandise including sunglasses, hats, clothes, and even paddleboards. Definitely worth trying!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I had the opportunity to rent paddleboards twice from these wonderful people. The place is a 2 min walk from the beach and they have these really handy rollers that you can use to transport your paddle boards to the beach. There's probably another water body somewhere nearby that is more calm, but Chris encouraged me to go the sea as the water was not choppy that day; I did, and had a blast! (A word of advice, make sure you take a towel or something with you to wipe your salty hands clean so that your hands are not slippery when transporting the SUP back.) The first time I went, Chris let me return the SUP 15 min beyond their official close time of 5 pm. He had Angel come over and take over as he had to leave for the airport. So nice of both of them to accommodate my unpunctual behavior lol! (Sorry!). I wanted to go the next day but it was so nice of Chris to call me proactively and tell me that the water was quite rough that day (I had told Angel the previous day that I'll be returning). I did manage to go the day thereafter and as usual, had a blast on the water. Highly highly recommended for proximity to the ocean and for their exceptional customer service :). Thank you Angel and Chris! read more

Frenchy's Outfitters - Beautiful day out to paddle on the sea! - Paddleboarding Near Me - Clearwater Beach, Florida

Found this place on yelp as I knew I wanted to try paddle boarding while on vacation. Derrick was so friendly and informative during our visit. It was our first time paddle boarding and he made it easy and we felt confident after his tutorial. Reasonable price!! They charged us for 1 hour each initially, and then said they could bill for an additional hour afterwards if we decided to stay out on the water longer. We were interested in buying a paddle board ourselves afterwards, and Derrick gave us great information without pushing us to buy too hard. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing! I made a reservation for Saturday at a short notice and Katie got me on a waiting list. She called me the next day as she was able to get me the kayaks I needed for a little family fun in the water. The kayaks are good quality and comfortable. Chris the owner assisted us getting in and out of the kayaks making us look like pros! It was a fun day, we will definitely be back and highly recommend the place to anybody that wants great customer service, fair price and quality equipment. read more

Owners were super nice and accommodating! Reasonable price for half a day kayak rental. Had freedom to take the kayaks out wherever you wanted but also got amazing recommendations on places to see wildlife and relax. read more

Extremely disappointed- left us out in a major storm on out first time Paddleboarding DO NOT RENT FROM THESE Guys!!! Scary and UNSAFE!!

My boyfriend and me did SU paddle boarding here today. The staff was great, from beginning to end everyone was very helpful and Informative. The experience was not as difficult as I thought it would be but the best part was enjoying the wild life. Right as we left the dock we were along side dolphins. read more

Clearwater Beach Paddleboard was the highlight of my trip. The staff is so knowledgeable. They gave me various routes to take depending on what the wind was up to that day, and whether I wanted to kayak or paddle. They have a floating dock on the intracostal, so it was super easy to launch. Had we wanted to go out gulfside, they provide transportation. Travis (cool name, hehe) was super amicable and told us about the caladesi island mangrove trails, which were awesome!!! We made it up to the caladesi marina and grabbed lunch and hit the beach where we saw baby dolphins and a manatee!!!! read more

Great staff...knowledgeable and willing to help. Chris, the owner was awesome and gave us some great food suggestions.

Was here with the fam when we realized the Florida sun is merciless! We did a quick search and decided to rent out a cart from CBP. We used it literally EVERY DAY! It was a lifesaver and economical. It was about I think $60.00 for a cart (for a week) that came with a cooler, 2 chairs and an umbrella. First off it all fit on/in the cart so you don't look like a hot mess trying to haul chairs on your back and an umbrella under your arm pit. It's all in the mobile cart that doesn't take up a lot of space and is easy to maneuver. The staff was super friendly and it was a seamless pick up and drop off will 100000% rent from them again! read more

They made it super easy for first-time paddleboarders! The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We will definitely be back! Make sure you go see these guys next time you're in Clearwater read more

We were in Florida on vacation and rented the beach cart package. It was well worth the $25 we paid. The staff at the store was friendly and when we returned the equipment in the evening they seemed to have shifted the store into a wine bar. Cool place read more

Best place to rent fishing rods for the day for a low price, and they are pretty friendly!

We can't say enough positive things about Clearwater Paddleboard. Rented two tandem kayaks for four people. First they guided us to select the best day to go out-- not too much wind or chop. They encouraged us to call each morning to help select the best day for our adventure. Travis worked to get us launched and gave excellent directions for favorable paddling. And what an adventure! We paddled about 3 hours total. First sighting was a manatee swimming in the back channels. When we got to more open water dolphins were frolicking and jumping together. Another pod of dolphins followed along for part of the trip. What an amazing day. read more
