BOAT ASSISTED KAYAKING TOURS

The ultimate unique experience!

Our transport boat provides an opportunity for paddlers and fishermen to reach remote areas that are unobtainable to some paddlers. (Depending on your level of experience). We will transport you and a kayak with equipment in our comfortable boat to a predetermined remote area located in Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve. When we arrive the kayaks will be deployed and you will paddle the return trip back to our waterside office.(Your choice with or without a guide)

This 3 to 4 hour paddle will give you an opportunity to see some of the most beautiful, scenic “backcountry areas” on the water. Frequent sighting of dolphin, manatee, white pelicans and more. Fisherman and nature lovers will consider this a highlight of their visit.

Boat assisted trips start around 9:00 am unless other arrangements are made.  You should bring beverages and food, sunglasses, hats and sunscreen and wear comfortable clothing and water shoes. Please, no bare feet!
