Sea Kayaking

Tours, Rentals, Instruction and Sales

The Sea kayak or touring kayak is designed for paddling on open waters of lakes, bays, and the ocean. Sea kayaks are seaworthy craft with a covered deck and the ability to incorporate a sprayskirt. They trade off the extreme maneuverability of whitewater kayaks for cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling and comfort for long journeys.

Sea kayaks are used around the world for trips from a few hours to many weeks, as they can accommodate one or two paddlers together with room for camping gear, food, water, and other supplies. The sport of sea kayaking (sometimes called ocean kayaking) combines much of the appeal of backpacking with a maritime aspect.

Florida has approximately 7,500 freshwater lakes and tens of thousands of acres of marsh and wooded swamp.

Florida has so many great places to paddle. No state can match its variety of water,lakes, inlets, lagoons, rivers, streams, springs, ocean and a gulf with accessible 365 days a year. And, there seems no better way to explore this vast network of water than by sea kayak.
