    I highly recommend going kayaking with Capt Yak and his crew. They were fun, informative, well-equipped and it was amazing. We saw dolphins, Rays, Upside down jelly fish, birds. There was nothing negative about the experience and I will go again and again..see you in April when I come again.

    These guys followed us along and were quite entertaining.

    Greg gave an outstanding tour! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He was interesting and engaging, also extremely thoughtful. He made two restaurant suggestions that we tried and loved!! He also delivered my left behind water bottle. He went over and beyond on every way. Highly recommend!

    Capt Yak is the best! My husband and I went as something out of our norm. We had a blast! Capt brought his expertise of the area (which was very much needed on our windy adventure) and it paid off. I enjoyed the random facts and finds throughout the tour too!

    I can't imagine a better way to spend the day in the Tampa area. This was my first kayaking experience and it was excellent! This is a must do for any tourist or local!

    Capt Yak sharing his knowledge of the environment.

    Had a great time. Took some convincing to get hubby out kayaking. Greg was very knowledgeable and personable. Next time husband says we'll definitely book with with Greg again. We had a tandem kayak and neither of our backs hurt because the kayaks were equipped with seat backs. Made the trip even more enjoyable. Really great trip made even better because of Greg's style, knowledge and committment to the environment.

    Got this kayak on a Groupon, and the location can appear a little sketch as it is in Treasure…read moreIsland area with remaining Hurricane damage (2025). They do boat trips and also rent other boats. They appear for the boat trips as Suncoast Sailing, it is the same place. The shop located attached to a Waffle house with parking in the back. Interior is a small liquor and fishing store with some tourist items. Staff friendly and the dog was especially friendly to all, except coconuts. There was a larger decent restroom to change, no showers. We had a clear tandem kayak that we got for four hours and they set us up in the back past the parking lot into a canal. They should us a map on how to navigate to Boca Ciega Bay, which is down the canal under two low bridges. We visited the tunnel of mangroves at Eleanor's Island, Little Bird Key Rookery, up to War Veteran's Memorial Park and St. John's Pass Sand Bar. We saw lots of wild life, it was a long paddle out and back. Even saw a manatee. Great time, however we really did not like the clear kayak. It felt very unstable and you have to check your equipment because they almost gave us a cracked paddle before I noticed, and they were nice about switching out. Also the clear kayak needed a float front and back but the back was missing the float, just in case. We did get life preservers which you have to have, but don't have to wear. TAKE A BUCKET to help clean the area, and get a free beer or other drink. I didn't notice until we got back, but cleaning up the water and shoreline is our thing. And we could've got a drink this time. It was good, and sounds like boat trips are the main draw. I liked it but I wish it was closer to the bay for kayaking because we took almost half hour both traveling to and from the bay, but then the canal is where we saw the manatee. So Good trip. I would not do a second time, but first time was worth it.

    You would think kayaking at night would not be ideal but with a clear boats and clear water with…read morebright lights it's a fun time! My cousin and I enjoyed ourselves going through the canals of the treasure island/madeira area. Jason, our guide, and his dog Chewy, were the best company. He talked a bit about the area and some good stories about chewy. The trip was a whole vibe with the lights, a drink in my hand, and music playing. The night we went out was perfect too! Not too hot and not too cold and with little to no wind. I was in the front chilling, paddling at times to help but I think my cousin who was in the back did most of the hard work paddling. Thanks Paige!! We went all the way through the canals that we eventually got to see John's pass. On the way back we saw tiny fish swimming under the boat. During the warmer months, Jason was saying you do get to see more than the tiny fish. I'll definitely be doing this again when I come down with my friends.

    Really cool and groovy surf shop in Treasure Island- this has all the beach and surfer vibes you…read morecould want. You can find most surfer essentials here- clothes, swim shirts, short and suits, body suits, hats, sunglasses, flip flops, and a whole upstairs dedicated to gorgeous surf boards and some skateboards. By the way- a surf boards? NOT cheap. But even if you aren't looking to purchase one it's still quite fun to shop around. The brand of apparel stuff is also very surfer-esque- Hurley, Roxy, Reef, Sun Bum and more. The workers were young but really friendly and gave us some local food & coffee recommendations. The one girl even said her mom worked at the shop when she was the same age and that's pretty cool. There are some pictures & trophies on the stairs from surfing competitions I assumed employees of the shop participated in or sponsored. I also loved the giant flip flops sitting out front- if you visit or have visited you know exactly what I'm talking about. They have a basketball hoop on the side of the ship and a ball out front you can shoot with. A car parked right in front of the hoop which was lame so we didn't get the chance to try it out this time. Definitely a good stop for all the beach things and will be back!

    Only the best surf shop on this coast! Service impressive quick and knowledgeable! Cost of clothes…read moreare very good! SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS!
