Darren went above and beyond helping me with a replacement item my sister gifted me. His dedication and kindness made the process seamless, and I can't thank him enough. When I stopped by today for the exchange, I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous water shoes displayed at the entrance. Kaitlyn was incredibly helpful--not only with the purchase but also with thoughtful tips on how to wear them comfortably. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience even better. As fellow local business owners, we deeply value supporting other local gems, and Backwater Provisions is one of the best. There's something special about being helped by people who genuinely care and know their community. Thank you, Darren and Kaitlyn--I'm forever grateful! Rina

Including with SP50 all styles, shoes (including OluKai), sandals and flips, outdoor sports gear: paddle boards. camping, fishing, grilling (including grills) and just plain fun necessities. Service is excellent, always helpful and ready to order sizes you may not see. We recently purchased two inflatable paddle boards and a pump during a holiday sale, great deal. Clothing value and prices very reasonable including Sun shirts and T-shirts with Safety Harbor included on logo print which makes great gifts. Value is in products they carry with top notch provisions.

Can't wait to see everyone and how things have changed. Again, great job! Barracuda Bob's Captain Joe.

If there were a gold medal for gun ranges, this place would be standing on the podium while the…read morenational anthem played and bald eagles circled overhead. From the moment you walk in, the customer service is on another level. The staff somehow manages to help you before you even realize you need help. Looking at a firearm for more than three seconds? Someone is already there with helpful info. Thinking about ammo? Boom--recommendations appear like they've read your mind. The selection of firearms is honestly beautiful. I'm talking about the kind of display that makes you stop and admire the craftsmanship for a minute before remembering why you walked in. Everything is well organized, well maintained, and clearly handled by people who genuinely respect the equipment and the sport. What really sets this range apart, though, is the staff. These are not just employees--they're trained professionals who clearly know their craft. They're attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being condescending, and they treat every customer with the same level of loyalty and respect. It doesn't matter who you are or how much experience you have--everyone is welcomed and helped the same way. And somehow they manage to do all of this while keeping the atmosphere friendly, relaxed, and even a little fun. It's rare to find a place that balances professionalism, safety, and great humor all at once, but this range pulls it off. If great service, knowledgeable staff, and a fantastic selection are what you're looking for, this place absolutely nails it. Honestly, the only real danger here is that you'll want to come back way more often than you planned.

While we were bending our rods and pulling fish out left and right, we did see other charter boats around, but it seemed like we were the only one catching anything. When we were all fished out, he got us back to the dock, and cleaned our fish for us. I know the next time we make it to Tampa, we will be booking with him again!

It is also reflected in their customers...I sent my son on a mission to get some bionic chum and sardines. A gentleman before him purchased a ton just as my son arrived. As the customer left, he came back in and asked my son if he had ruined his fishing trip because of he bought so much and that he'd return some if needed. Lucky no we were looking for other things. My point being, good environment breeds that kind of interaction. They always remember me as I bring in my soft side to collect frozen bait. Will continue to shop here even though I now live in Hudson. 2 Gag using their chum and frozen sardine.

We were visiting from out of town and were asking for some insight about public fishing locations in the area. We were fully aware of needing a license before hand and of the vast amounts of private lakes and ponds nearby. The gentleman at the front desk was less than ideal with his assistance in our search for a place to casually catch and release all while condescendingly stating the risks we would be taking if we were to fish without a license. When inquiring where we could purchase a license he said, "Up at Walmart," while pointing in no particular direction or following up with any specific directions. I understand that any good fisherman doesn't like to give up his/her great hidden fishing spots, but he didn't even lead us to a public park with a lake.
