Two Convenient Waterside Locations

You can now rent kayaks and SUPs from not just one, but two convenient locations in the Englewood area – Don Pedro Island State Park and Stump Pass Beach State Park.

Paddler’s paradise is just a short drive from anywhere in Englewood, Venice, North Port, Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda. We invite all paddling enthusiasts from Venice to Punta Gorda to come and see what makes our paddling locales some of the most breathtaking on Florida’s West Coast.

We welcome walk-ins, but reservations are encouraged for all rentals to ensure availability.

Popular Paddling Destinations from Don Pedro State Park

People often ask us, “Where can we paddle from your location?” The waterways surrounding our location offer paddlers of all skill levels plenty to discover and explore. Here’s a list of some of our most popular paddling routes and destinations.

• Navigate your kayak or paddleboard through calm, shallow waters near the shoreline, or paddle up into quiet canals.
• Explore nearby mangrove tunnels.
• Dock at Palm Island for lunch at Rum Bay Restaurant.
• For a longer trip, paddle to Stump Pass (est. 2.1 miles one way) or navigate to the mangrove tunnel at Don Pedro Island (est. 1.7 miles one way). For either excursion, you’ll need at a least 4 hour rental. That way you’ll have time to enjoy your destination and to paddle there and back.

If you have another destination in mind, we can deliver your kayak or paddleboard rental to your hotel, house, condo, dock, or public beach or other public launch site for a small fee. (Free delivery available for full day rentals.)
