rays, fish, & birds as you wind down the creek...
​
Be immersed in the mangroves and estuaries that transition you

Watch out for the local crab pots marked by the floating balls & make sure you keep your eyes focused on the horizon to see the movement in the water and locate the different underwater creatures.

Surrounded by oaks & Spanish moss swaying in the breezes you might even catch a glimpse of a gator!

Fishing from a kayak gives you a unique advantage over other
fishermen who use motors to get around.

You are more than welcome to paddle in the rain, but we will not put rentals on the water within 30 minutes of thunder or lightening.
