Kayaking and Canoeing in the Crystal River, Florida is the place to see manatees as they swim and play below in the warm waters of our fresh water springs. Kayaking is a growing sport offering an outdoor adventure you can't get from any other sport.
From a rental canoe or kayak from us, you can see the largest herd of both seasonal as well as full-time resident manatees in King's Bay which are the headwaters of the Crystal River. To get so close by kayak and canoe is an experience you won't forget.
We have our very own canoe and kayak launch where you can rent a kayak or canoe or launch your own boat for a minimal fee. From here you can swim and snorkel at the Three Sister's Springs within 10 minutes.
Go kayak fishing anywhere in our native waters. We have grouper, snapper, trout, redfish and black drum, plus all the predatory fish like shark, barracuda, tarpon, and jack. Once you've caught a fish from a kayak, you'll be "hooked."
Watch sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. We have some of the most beautiful sunsets over open waters, along with the silhouette of the many coastal islands in the background.
There's no end to the fun you can have from a kayak or canoe.
Whether you have your own kayak or canoe, or want to rent a canoe or kayak from us, we'll assist you in your paddling excursion. Besides manatees, you can see other wildlife in their natural surroundings. Otters, Dolphins, Great Blue Herons, Eagles, Egrets and Ospreys have all been viewed from our kayaks.
We have rental kayaks, canoe rentals, kayaks for sale, and kayaking and paddling accessories. We also offer guided kayak tours and canoe trips to places like Ozello, the Ocala National Forest, rivers of the Withlacoochee and Chazzahowitzka.
Check out the Crystal River Archeological Site. Take Kayaking Trips to Cedar Key, the Suwannee River, Hillsboro River, and more. We also work with local businesses and Dive Shops who provide snorkeling equipment and diving equipment as well as tours also to give you a vacation package in paradise.

answers. We carry what we believe to be the very best kayaks and canoes available to the
sport.
We keep up on the most up to date information, ideas, new products, and latest
changes in paddlesports by attending paddlesport shows, kayak symposiums, and business conferences. We then
pass this information, experience, and
knowledge on to you.
Please stop in for a cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea.
Come talk with us. Kayaking videos and books are on display, and can be viewed on our in-store video player. Kayaking is such a
wonderful sport; it's a healthy and
invigorating way to use aerobics to the
muscles in the upper body, torso, and arms.
We love to
teach. ACA certified kayaking instructors, we can show you how to handle and maneuver your boat safely and stay dry doing it. Did you know there's 6 basic strokes? Check out our classes link. Go

so much more, and paddle so much easier by using your boat, body, and blade to better control you boat and have more fun.
