We called last week and he said to just show up, but when we showed up he said "wow you guys just show up and don't call?" We walk down and he makes multiple comments on weight saying your well over 200 lbs and you guys are too big. when we called he said we need to do 3 at a time, then today he said we can't. All the younger employees are great but this guy was very mean. acted like we were a bother and did not seem to want our buisness. I will not be coming back.

I found myself waiting at a traffic light and to my right a bright green truck stops and it has a snook on its side...did I say bright green? It's can't miss advertising, nice. I chat up the guy, note some contact info and off we go. Some time passes and I see the truck in a shopping center, bright green. good color. I commenced to stalk the truck, like working the flats for passing snook, here he comes....boom, I set the hook. The adventure is on. I chatted with William Troutman for awhile, exchanged contact info, plans made. William is a passionate snook guy. I'm excited...the day comes for fishing. We met in Stuart. The gear he uses is top shelf Hobie kayaks, mirage drive equipped, nice stout rods too. We pushed off and began working the area. In short order I had a snook pound my lure...oh baby. What a fish...hang on you're going for a ride. Do your homework, he has YouTube videos, dialed in stuff. Tight lines is soooo much fun.

I'm glad it wasn't too buggy. We didn't see alligators. Canoers, kayakers & boarders on the water said they saw gator(s), but we never did. So, I don't recommend renting bikes if you want to see gators. Many people visit the area and bring their own kayaks & body boards. Don't dress to impress. This is a true nature experience. 4 stars cuz bikes can be dirty, one lady had her chain fall off & we helped her & my husband's handlebars loosened up & had to start walking his bike. I guess the only way to get help on the trail is to call their rental center, so don't leave the area without asking how they can help & meet up in case your bike is not rideable. I rode back & had a worker take him a new bike, but I had to show him where he was. It was a nature experience! There is a waiver to sign before you rent. Maybe their fine print gives information about how to deal with problems on the trail? I didn't read it thoroughly, I thought it focused more on the late fee.

It's also a park currently in progress. There's a roundabout for dropping off your canoe/kayak/paddle board, and several launching spots. This side has a great view of the lighthouse and also provides access under the bridge. There is a one dock and another used-to-be-dock platform further down, plus a fish cutting station. The bay part looked pretty sad as it was pretty shallow, but that could have been time of day/year. This park is narrow and runs alongside A1A so it is loud from the road. Some old, historic trees have been preserved, but they are up against the roadway without any fencing: very dangerous. Behind the bay part are two historic buildings. One is a bright yellow beauty, the old train station, which apparently may be turned into a museum one day. The other is a historic DuBois house, currently under restoration. Most of the walk is paved. There are several covered picnic tables with benches, grassy areas for kids to run around, and a decent fence alongside the picnic part. I took a short walk along the paved pathways and saw an osprey.

I just moved to South Florida from Connecticut and brought my kayak with me in hopes of seeing some wildlife. My boyfriend doesn't have a kayak of his own and suggested we book a rental with a tour guide to show us around - I am so glad we did! Misty and her super cute canine, Abu, were the most amazing tour guides ever. Before our arrival, Misty kept in contact with excellent communication. She provided quality rental equipment, and not only did we feel very safe the entire time, she is an expert at spotting wildlife. The Peanut Island paddle was suggested for us - we were so blessed to see an abundance of manatees floating under us, a stingray, a starfish so big I almost called the Guinness Book of World Records (haha only half-joking!) and plenty of beautiful birds, lizards and fish. The excursion took about two hours and we never felt rushed at all, although it was just the right amount of time before we started to get a little tired. Can't thank Salty Dog Paddle enough for this incredibly special and very memorable experience. Misty was even thoughtful enough to take photos and videos for us which she sent after - she really was the best part of this experience for us!! Highly recommended!!!

We ordered parts online for our car's specific make/model via the Yakima brand website, but after receiving the parts from our online order it was clear we needed some direction and assistance from a seasoned professional! Enter Native Water Sports! We've seen the store several times but never went it. We decided to go and we are so glad we did. Ted, the owner and operator, graciously helped us get the proper parts and told us he'd call us back to the store once received. About a week later, the parts were here, and Ted and my husband arranged a time at the shop. He not only helped install the rack to ensure that it was safely mounted, but he also showed my husband how he did it and was very hands-on! It took them about one and a half hours - and we were good to go. He showed us how to use the straps, how to take the pads off/on, etc. You can absolutely tell Ted is a well seasoned professional kayak guy - not only that, but he's friendly and just a genuinely nice person. For any kayak needs - car racks, life jackets, kayaks, and pretty much any kayak accessory known to man - Ted is your guy for honest help!

Tammy spotted a ray and a turtle that zoomed away before most could see it. Adam was good at keeping the group together and explained much about the area and wildlife.
