Enjoy a guided eco-tour on paddleboard or kayak (solo and tandem kayaks available). Our professional guides will locate wildlife, educate about the ecosystem, teach beginners how to paddle, and share their unique local knowledge & humor to make your experience memorable.
Choose kayak or paddleboard, and launch right from our backdoor to explore mangrove tunnels, glide over seagrass meadows, or beach on a nearby island sandbar. Our flat rates mean you can paddle as long as you want, whether an hour or all day.
We deliver kayaks & paddleboards to any residence or resort from Key Largo to Islamorada, or you can use your own vehicle to take a kayak or SUP board anywhere you’d like to paddle. You can rent for 24 hours or multiple days, or even multiple weeks or months.
This isn’t our job, it’s our passion! We’re not just another rental gig; we’re one of the largest SUP shops in the Keys, we sponsor/host paddlesport races and local charitable events, and have actively helped grow the local paddlesport community for over a decade. Our doors opened in 2012, making us the oldest operator in Tavernier, and we’re the highest-rated for a reason. Owner, Deven Carrier, is a life-long Florida Keys local and competitive paddleboard racer (one of the fastest in South Florida), and co-owner Rachel Carrier is Director or Operations at Marine-Lab Environmental Education Center.
We have the perfect paddleboard for YOU, whether you prefer recreational floats, touring, racing, downwinders, surf, SUP yoga or fishing.

Enjoy the BEST kayak and paddleboard rentals and eco-tours in Key Largo and Islamorada. We are on the clear protected waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Santuary, rich with wildlife and beauty. 365 days a year, our local guides share insider knowledge of the best spots to paddle in the Upper Keys. Let us take you out on the water for a day you’ll never forget!
The location was easy to find and plenty of parking, the cost was adequate and having a small group meant more time for questions and customized experience. The trip started with a small safety briefing, then we moved on to tips for better and more efficient kayaking. Throughout the entire trip the guide looked out and pointed out wild life, while providing lots of information about the area, culture and environment. I highly recommend "Paddle the Florida Keys"
– Ozzy | TripAdvisorThis is the only place to properly PADDLE! the Florida Keys! Don't be fooled by impostors. Scott and his crew are the best. I've been out with them on the weekly locals night when their generosity benefits our local food bank. You just know when you walk in that this is much more than a business. These folks are there to make sure you have a great time and they are very good at it.
– John B. | TripAdvisorWe went to the Paddle! the Florida Keys and rented paddleboards. Based upon the advice of the staff, we went down a long narrow channel in the ocean that eventually opened into a large lagoon. Very peaceful and getting through the mangroves was tricky at times, but made it all the more enjoyable tackling the challenge. Afterwards we went to a small island about 400 yards offshore that had a swing and hammock. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
– Theron S. | TripAdvisorJoe guided us on the 2 hour eco tour and we had a fantastic time. Joe is knowledgeable about the various local ecology, including the numerous fish and crabs we encountered on our mangrove trip. It was one of the highlights of our vacation and is a must for anyone looking to get outside and unplugged. All the folks at Paddle the Florida Keys were awesome, and Joe absolutely ROCKS! Thanks for a great time.
