Restrooms are spotless and well stocked. The ships store has plenty of what you need and a lot of what you want. Anytime we want to travel overland with our boat, they have gotten our boat and trailer ready for us. I love that many Shields live right at the Marina. The area always feels safe and secure. As long as we have a boat, we will keep it at Shields!

Awesome time on the Wacissa today! Tommy had everything set up before we got there, from boats to…read morePFD's to a map of the river. After a quick safety check and talk about where we were going we were off. He led us in and out of coves and over springs, pointing out birds, gators & turtles we would not have noticed without him. He told us interesting tidbits about the critters, history of the area and some very disheartening facts about the environmental degradation happening over the last few years around the Wacissa. And he helped make sure our technique was good and we were all having fun as we paddled up & downstream. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tommy and the Florida Kayak School to anyone.

I'm a relative newcomer to kayaking and had the GREAT fortune to have a private session with Tommy…read moreof the Florida Kayak School. We toured Piney Z lake and Lake Lafayette. It was INCREDIBLE! First, the supplies were really nice (nice kayak, paddle, etc.) and fit me perfectly. Second, Tommy is a great teacher and tour guide! He made me feel very comfortable in the kayak and he gave me a few pointers which were instantly useful. Tommy also knows seemingly all there is to know about the wildlife (both above and below the water...definitely some gators out and about...), the lakes and the environmental challenges that they face. No joke, go to Florida Kayak School as soon as you can! I plan to go again soon, next time with the wife and kid!
