Great experience with this business. My wife and I wanted to get out on the water for a little bit and I called them up first thing in the morning. Not only did they have me checked out over the phone in five minutes, the kayak was delivered to our vacation home 20 minutes later and they picked it up when we were done. Had a great experience on the water today thanks to Keys Kayak. Definitely recommend.

My mom, our dog, and I had an amazing time on the water today with Keys Kayak! Our tour guide, Meade, made our trip fantastic with his boundless knowledge of the area and keen eye for all the aquatic wildlife around us like sharks, stingrays, starfish, conchs, and various species of fish. If you’re ever in Marathon, we highly recommend this company based on both the experience and the wonderful customer service we encountered with both Bob and Meade! 😊

We had a great experience with our guide, Meade. We did a SUP tour with him this past weekend and it was our favorite part of our trip. One of the people in our group got stuck a few times and Meade went back for her every time. He even towed her the last leg of the trip while she slept and sunbathed. I thought he went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip. And he took hundreds of candid pictures of us and sent them to us, which was not something expected but a major bonus!

The kayak was clean and delivered on time and has been a great addition to our trip. To be able to have the kayak delivered with the paddles and life vests was a great help. Great experience!

I would never recommend this company for a kayak tour. The guide, Meade, didn’t care that two people from our group wasn’t with us. Thankfully, someone on an anchored boat near by saw that one of our group had submerged, he grabbed a dinghy and saved her and gave her a ride to shore. No one from Keys Kayaks cared, or apologized. Obviously, gave us a damaged kayak, and the guide did not even begin to do the job he was hired for. For your own safety, do not hire this company!!

We rented one of their tandem kayaks for three days while we camped at Bahia Honda State Park. We have our own boat, but bringing the kayak and the camper is a lot of work so we often rent. The free delivery and pickup to our campsite was awesome. $100 for three days is about as cheap as you can get, and I really liked their boat. It looked brand new and apparently they are custom made. Light for a tandem, and it can be set up as a single or can have a third seat for a kid. You may want to bring your own paddles as we did, as the boat came with standard rental paddles - nothing wrong with them but ours were better.Great company!

When we called, the man was very pleasant on the phone. They brought them to our house told us how to use them and also told us where to put them so he could pick them back up in a week. They were excellent, we had a blast

Really helpful staff and good rental selection. Thanks Bob, we really appreciate the time you spent helping us.

I thought it was well price and very easy to book.

Our family of four did the eco-tour through the mangroves. It was a great workout and really fun! My daughter got a little tired towards the end and she needed a rest. Our guide John was patient and gently encouraged her to keep going when she was ready. No pressure. Instead of pressuring her to hurry, he built her confidence by telling her she was doing great. It was a perfect mixture of paddling and floating/relaxing. The mangroves opened up to a peaceful lake where we had plenty of time to photograph wildlife and explore. We all really loved it! Our guide was helpful in telling us other places to explore so we rented two kayaks for the rest of our trip. They even delivered them on the same day we ordered them. We will definitely book a tour and rent kayaks from them when we visit again next year.

Got everything I asked for. Prompt delivery and pick up. Staff was very friendly and straight forward. Will use them again. Rented kayaks for 8 days and everything was perfect. Out of Towner here but recommend them highly.

Fantastic tour and our tour guide was super awesome! 100% recommend

We did the eco tour yesterday and it was so fun. I called to ask about the tours and the gentleman that answered was super awesome and he gave us a lot of helpful information. We were running late and they were so great at accommodating us. Travis was our kayaking guide, he told us about the animal life and the trees and the importance to the habitat. It was a lot of fun! He gave us time to explore the water and search for animal life to look at. I would definitely recommend! They were so great! Thanks for a fun experience! We will definitely be back next time we visit!

We were stuck in low tide for over an hour. The tour guide had no radio, or form of communication!! It wasn’t a good experience at all. We felt like the tour guide should have knowledge of the tides. We literally were stranded!! We had to crawl in the mud to find more water to kayak. Not the way I planned to spend my birthday weekend!! There should be more preparation for emergencies!!! Highly disappointed!! Our tour guide was Dean.

Kevin was our guide for the mangrove tour. He was super chill and very knowledgeable about the wildlife. Very relaxing tour and will be doing this when I visit the keys again.

Very fast delivery after ordering and very nice people working there. Will for sure rent from them again.

These are really good people. Kayak rentals and the tours are definitely a great value. We had to do a little rescheduling and Bob was very gracious to accommodate us.

We had a great time on the kayak tour! Dean was a fabulous guide who was informative, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved every minute of our tour! I highly recommend!!

Bob and his team were terrific. Delivered directly to our rental house and picked up for us. Gave great recommendations in spots to go. Would use them again!

I highly recommend this tour!

Friendly and responsive staff, quality equipment in great condition, on time delivery and competitive prices. Will definitely use again!

Great prices and great tours. Buy a case for your phone book a tour and have some fun.

The staff was so friendly and helpful. Great place to rent kayaks and paddle boards!

Rented to kayaks last minute on a busy Saturday morning. The delivery feature was awesome ($10 total per boat for drop off/ pick up) and we were on the water in an hour. Price per rental ($30) included paddles and PFDs.The men at the shop didn’t have a lot of info about tides or locations, but they found a map for me to check out which was helpful. I probably ask more questions then most. We went from Coco Plum beach to Curry Hammock through the mangrove cut through, it was a great ride.

This made for a fun day. Navigating though the narrow paths was exciting. We had high winds, so the paddle back against the current was a workout! Helped burn off all that keylime pie. My only disappointment was after reading other reviews, I was hoping our guide would point out wildlife or share other facts about the trees or the area. We were the kayak right behind him the whole time and nothing was mentioned. We did see some crabs in the trees, but he didn’t know what they were. All in all, I would recommend this if you are in the area. It’s very peaceful paddling through the trees.

We are 💯 satisfied customers. We love kayaking! We dont do it often. We had an amazing tour with Mid..he was a super guide. We really enjoyed this mini adventure. We will definitely come back! We fully recommend it!

Bob is a wonderful human being! Thanks Bob for your openess. Conrad, Lynx Spirit kayaks.

Had no desire to rent to us and acted like we were bothering him when we were asking questions about a rental.

We chose to do the Mangrove Eco-tour - around Boot Key in Marathon. It was super windy, but our guide did an awesome job of getting everyone in and out of the water, and keeping everyone safe. She was all alone, but did a fantastic job.One complaint - there were two kayaking groups/companies leaving Sombrero Beach at the same time - Key Kayak & Key Kayaks LLC (how confusing!!). We joined the wrong group for about 15 minutes. We also helped carry their kayaks down to the water, before they checked us in and discovered we were with the wrong company. Some signage would be super helpful.

Bob the owner was very nice and helpful when we visited his store. We wanted to do an eco tour but was told they werent doing them at that time. The reason give was because of erosion and limited parking. We saw another company dropping off there the next day. Anyways we chose to do the other tour that was offered instead. We arrived early and waited for the rest of the group (7 in ours/4 in the other). We were then told by the two guides that the another group of 12-15 ppl would be traveling with us. WAY to many boats at one time. We were told this was done for safety purposes because the wind was so strong. The tour was ok at best. With so many kayaks the one guide mead was very nice and knew alot about the area, but you couldnt always stay close to him because of the number of boats. The other guide was very nice, but provided very little info on anything. I also wouldnt recommend it the wind is above 10 mph on the island tour. It made it very hard to paddle back across the cut. I know they cant control the weather so not holding that against them. All in all I would visit Bob and the team again IF we could go to the mangroves, and the group size was reduced to 7-11 ppl.

Bob (owner) is a solid righteous dude !

Great place to buy or rent

Expensive kayak tour through the mangroves of Boot Key, but absolutely worth it! Our group of 4 had a blast! Our guide was knowledgable, patient, and made sure that everyone was safe from boat traffic while we paddled to/from the mangroves. I definitely reccomend for anyone that enjoys nature and adventure outdoor activities.Also, our guide takes lots of pictures for you and uploads them for free!

The best place to go for a kayak in the Keys! Good selection, knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices.

Great first time experience to kayaking and going through the mangroves! Bob the owner was very pleasent and our tour guide Mead was terrific! I would do this again in a heartbeat! Terrific time we had! Thanks guys!

Best business ever! Bob & Sasha are the best. They make you feel right at home! I had the most genuine conversation with Bob while petting Sasha, great business & phenomenal advice! Thank you for your amazing hospitality!

We booked a last minute trip at Sombrero Beach! We saw Meade pulling up with the kayaks and asked to join the group. Bob brought the kayaks over and we were able to go! Meade was a very entertaining and knowledgeable guide. We would recommend this company to everyone looking for an amazing experience.

My family and I were looking for a nature kayaking tour where we would see lots of local wildlife. This more than fit the bill! We went to the shop to book the tour and were introduced to our tour guide, Caroline. She gave us directions to the beach we would leave from, and told us she would meet us there with the boats. Once we were on the beach, Caroline set up the kayaks, seats, and paddles for us, and got us set with life jackets. We didnt have to do a thing!The water was absolutely gorgeous. We paddled across a bay to Boot Key, which is covered in protected mangroves. Caroline led us through some small passages through the mangroves, where we saw tons of wildlife. She pointed out tiny crabs, sea squirts, cormorants, ibises, tons of fish, oysters, herons, pelicans, lots of other birds... Caroline also told us all about how the mangroves grow and form these islands. Shes so knowledgeable!This kayak trip was beyond beautiful and let us see some of the natural beauty of the keys. Thanks for a great time, Caroline!

Excellent prices and great service.

Kayaking at its best!! Im new to the area and its always been my dream to live in the keys. I never exactly knew why, but now after witnessing the Mangroves with my tour guide Caroline of Keys Kayak, Im convinced this is paradise. She had such an in depth understanding of the equipment, the indigenous life, both plant and animal, and the wonder of its environment. My group had beginners and it was great to see that they had special attention as to the operation of the equipment as well as a sharp eye to point out the most unique factors of the tour. A fantastic time had by all. Undoubtedly the most professional and caring tour operation in the Keys. I will definitely refer my friends and family which is the highest recommendation I can give.

I recently made a trip to Marathon with my two teenagers. Id read good reviews of Keys Kayaks, so I thought wed give it a go. We had a tour with Caroline, who was patient showing me how to kayak since Id never done it before. The mangrove canals were amazing! Caroline pointed out all kinds of flora and fauna. We even saw a manatee! Even my teenagers were enthralled. The experience was 100% positive. I highly recommend Keys Kayaks and Caroline as a tour guide. This turned out to be the top highlight of our trip! Thanks, Caroline and Keys Kayaks!! See you again next year!

We took a boot island Eco-tour last week and it was the highlight of our visit to the keys. Daniel was our tour guide and he was excellent. We ended up seeing a group of 4 manatee, fish of all sorts, jelly fish, a nurse shark, several stingrays, mangrove crabs, etc. Really a fantastic trip for seeing wildlife.Daniel was great, he was able to answer any questions we had and he shared a lot of great information. I also appreciated the fact that he wasnt overly chatty like you sometimes get with tour guides. I think he realizes that the beautiful surroundings speak for themselves and sometimes its great to just experience the area you are in.We took this tour on the Tuesday between Christmas and New Years Day. This is arguably the busiest time of year in the Marathon area. Our tour started a little late that morning. This was simply due to the fact that there was so much traffic. Once we got out and off the beaten path we were all alone with our group.I would do this again in a heartbeat. Key Kayaks was great to work with and Daniel was a true professional.

We went on the kayaking tour through the mangroves & it was an amazing experience! We saw a spotted stingray & a manatee!!! Meade was our guide & he did a great job navigating. I highly recommend this tour!

I had a fantastic outing with Caroline last week. Id requested a paddle through the mangroves, and she took me through four mangrove TUNNELS, all the while pointing out and educating me on the various natural wonders surrounding us. The water was so clear that we easily saw all kinds of fish, jellyfish, and even a horseshoe crab as we floated along the surface. It was the highlight of an already fantastic trip to the Keys! If youre looking to kayak, this is the company you want to go with! And even if youre not on Marathon, its worth the trip!

I had a brilliant time with a group of friends out in the mangroves with keys kayak. The team was friendly and efficient, getting us all set up and out on the water with ease.Once there, kayaking through the mangoves is something Ill never forget. As somebody who is from a different climate entirely, getting this close to the mangroves and all they have to offer was simply amazing, I never could have imagined it.A great time, with great people.In short, such an excellent experience, would recommend to anybody who wants a bit of adventure in their life :)

Our family kayaked the mangrove tunnels with Daniel and had a great time. He was very personable and gave a very good tour. We all really enjoyed the whole experience.Bob the owner was great and very informative too when we went in to book the tour. We would definitely do it again!

My husband and I did a mangrove kayak trip and had a wonderful time. Mead was our guide and was very knowledgeable. Thorghly enjoyed the whole experience and definitely recommend!

Our tour guide Daniel was amazing. He knew a lot about the area and would answer any questions you have. I had an amazing time definitely something you want to do while in the keys. You get to see so many things in the mangroves its amazing.

Very friendly. Good prices. Rented for the day and called at the end of the day to extend for the week amd only paid the difference between the daily and weekly rate. Kayaks, paddles and life jackets in good condition.

My friends and i took a tour with Keys Kayak awhile ago and it was an AMAZING experience! The mangroves are so beautiful, especially when they take you kayaking through the tunnels of trees. The wildlife (we saw birds, fish, crabs) is so cool as well! Beware of the jellyfish -- theyre super cool to look at, but you dont want to fall in ;) The tour guide was awesome and knowledgable and made sure we all had a enjoyable and worthwhile experience. If youre in Marathon or the keys for any period of time, kayaking the mangroves with Keys Kayak for a few hours will be a wonderful way to spend your time!

Had a great time my tour, got to see parts of the keys I didnt know even existed. Felt at the time like a once in a life time experience and I still have not been proven wrong. The people that run it could not be nicer too :)

I learned about the company through a friend, and a group of 10-15 of us went on a nature excursion. The guide was excellent and sociable, and the water was really clear the day we went. I really loved kayaking through the mangroves and observing the little jellyfish when we were in the clear shallow waters. It was a great experience Ive brought visiting friends to try out again later.

We would highly recommend taking this tour we had alot of fun and we just loved our guide mead he was very easy to talk to and had alot of knowledge and information plus he was right there when a man went over board in the mangroves lol

This is the only place Ill go for rentals! Bob is very knowledgeable of the groves and helpful with transporting the SUPs to and from the beach. Prices are perfect, I highly recommend stopping in! And shop pup Sasha is adorable :)

As a first time renter/kayaker I would expect the professional to do a better job. I had no idea one of the boats was cracked until we pulled it out of the water to have it ready on pick up day. I just thought the one kayak was slower & harder to maneuver than the other one. When I called the owner to let him know about it; he said I should have called him sooner so he could have replaced it. So.....Im supposed to call before I know?? Why is he renting out damaged & dangerous equipment. His answer was stuff happens, and I shouldnt give him a hard time. Also I shouldnt raise my voice to talk to him while hes trying to talk over me. He said hed have to call me back....he was busy renting out his kayaks to other unsuspecting customers!

Did a tour back in the winter of 2011. Had a great time, Mr. Rankin was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and even took as out to a local seafood dinner. I would recommend the tour to anyone looking for a pleasant (and cheap!) day out on the water.

I contacted Keys Kayak with a very special request. I wanted to spread my cousins ashes at sunset. It was an emotional thing, but staff at Keys Kayak were so supportive and so helpful, it made the process less painful for all of us.Thank you Bob. Our little ceremony was very special and helped us turn what should have been a somber and sad event, into a special family memory. I wont forget the kindness you showed us.I would highly recommend Keys Kayak to anyone visiting the Marathon area.

Great experience with the staff. Price of renting the kayak was competitive. Overall great human touch!

I am not sure how many Kayak companies secure return customers, but I have been back to visit four times now. My tours have been nothing short of incredible in both scenery and service. This a family owned small business and that level of care was reflected in every aspect of each of my experiences. I am incredibly impressed with how easily Keys Kayak organized over 20 college students into Kayaks and made each and every person feel as if they had a personalized wonderful experience at such a reasonable price.Awesome time here! If youre thinking about going--stop thinking and do it!

My wife and I enjoyed our 3 hour tour, our guide Bryan was outstanding, very knowledgeable and friendly.Bob the owner was a pleasure to speak with even gave us some of the local eateries to try.Would definitely recommend this if you plan on a day of kayaking

A really fun trip that we did as a large group of friends! Everything went off without a hitch, great kayaks, a great trip through mangroves, and a great guide. Definitely recommend.

Highly Highly Highly recommend Keys Kayak!!! As a former resident of Florida, the beauty of its natural wonder has always been such moving experience for me to witness and enjoy. I take sharing that notion serious as I recently had brought family down to the Keys to see for themselves. Carolines tour was breathtaking and also encouraging to see a local with such passion for what she did and for the lush beauty of the landscape she helped us discover. She was attentive and extremely patient and caring with the novices in our group. She has a very distinct and wonderful appreciation for the Mangroves and her love for position was evident as she helped facilitate a dare I say moving experience for my guests witnessing Florida for the very first time. Its refreshing and relieving to know professionalism and just knowing youre in the most qualified of hands, is still alive and well. Run dont walk for an experience you wont soon forget thanks to Caroline and Keys Kayak.

Best price and no hassle. 👍

We didnt have the best service. We had to pick them up ourselves. They originally told us they would deliver in 30 minutes. However it turned into an extra hour and a half. Then the guy came to pick them up an hour early. We never had to sign any documents. They never went over safety procedures. Then the guy tried to charge us an extra $85 for a scratch on the bottom of a paddle board that we didnt do. He said it was brand new, yet there were already black marks before we got the board. We had fun when we were actually using the boards. Just didnt enjoy the service.

Nice people, good prices, no hassles, fun trip. I would would go back. Bob & caroline were great.

My friends and i had an awesome time.the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area.

Excellent service. Delivery and pick up. Friendly staff

My family and I did a tour with Keys Kayak LLC last week--they were very accomodating despite the holiday rush, and the tour was simply stunning.

Excellent rental rates. Good service. Amazing Boot Key Mangrove and sunset tours.

Kayak and paddle board tours amazing. Caroline was very knowledgable and friendly and pointed out sea star, stingray, crab, jellyfish, birds, vegetation and even spotted a manatee which Id never seen before😄Great vibes in paradise 10/10.

Tour was good given the slightly choppy conditions. Would be extraordinary if the organization had some committed planning staff to make it less demanding to design a booking.

Our guide met us on the beach and took us on an interesting tour. He knew a lot about local wildlife and nature

Had the GREATEST experience of all times!! Very friendly and knowledgeable!!! Mist do it...you wont be disappointed!!

I nearly drowned today renting kayaks from Keys kayak llc at Sombrero Beach and I had to be rescued by another Outfitters guide while the guy that rented me The Kayaks sat on his butt and didnt even know I was in any trouble. I tipped over about a hundred yards away from where they are set up renting kayaks on the beach. Tourists and the other Outfitters guide came to my aid while the guy renting The Kayaks on the beach just sat and stared at his phone

I went down to the keys a couple months ago and had an amazing time kayaking. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly and overall the day was perfect.

Eco tour was friendly, focused, family fun. Wear bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring water. Be ready to paddle!

Mr. Bob immediately took care of me of the whole process from inquiring info beforehand till pick up. This establishment offers the best prices for rental and I will be returning!

A great guy and the best prices around!

Bob, the store owner, was very helpful. Open on Sundays.

Had a great experience! Thank you!

We rented some kayaks and paddleboards and they tried to rip us off. The delivery was 2 hours late, the kayaks did not have the drain plugs and when we returned the gear they tried to charge us for scratches in the boards that were already there when we got them. Buyer beware!

Our group was so large we could never hear our guide. My wife tipped over and there was no one there to help us. I had a hard time helping her back in because I have a bad shoulder. Whats the point in hiring a guide if theyre not there to help you.

Has a paddle board and kayak to fit anyones needs

Great..

We hit this place, the staff were very friendly and attentive, we got lost on the way back and they came for us. They took care of us helping us with the children and the kayak, I totally recommend it.
