We have the largest selection of boats and the closest dock to 

Three Sisters Springs.

We are the ONLY outfitter located on a canal 8-10 minutes from the Three Sisters Springs. Our customers do not have to go through any wind and chop on Kings Bay to get to the Three Sisters Springs.

 

We offer a selection of gifts and apparel, alongside kayak accessories such as waterproof bags, phone cases and goggles. You can rent mask/snorkel sets and wetsuits (required if swimming during Manatee Season) from us if needed. Our facilities include changing rooms, portable restrooms, and a water cooler to refill any bottles you may bring for your trip.


We welcome paddlers with all levels of experience, from first timers to hard-worn adventurers.

Rental Information

Minimum age to go on a kayak is 2 years old.  16-18 year olds can go out unaccompanied, but need to have their waiver form signed by an adult.


We are pet friendly! Pets can go into the springs on a boat, but are not allowed in the water.


The maximum number of people allowed on a boat is determined by its number of seats (so one person on a single kayak only, etc). Triple kayaks are only suitable for two adults and a child 5 years or younger, or one adult with two small children.


All kayaks are weight dependent. We will fit the boats to your needs.


We recommend bringing non-disposable bottles/packaging. Please do not bring glass.


Alcohol is not permitted - both prior to your visit and while on the water.


You can bring your own paddle craft to our location for an $8 fee per boat. Call us in advance to reserve your launch. Everyone will still need to complete a waiver form at the desk and have watched the Manatee Manners video (see below).

Manatee Season: Nov 15 - Mar 31

During Manatee Season, Three Sisters Springs is closed to kayaking.
You can tie up your paddlecraft at a designated area near the entrance to swim inside, but please be aware that USFWS may temporarily close the springs to swimmers as well.


Manatees can be seen here year round.
We have a resident population that can be seen in the bay during the warmer months.
