This is a fully private tour — no other guests join your group. That means your guide’s attention, the pace, and the route are tailored entirely to you.
Families get hands-on support for kids without holding up a larger group;
Nervous or first-time paddlers can take their time without pressure;
Experienced paddlers can go further and explore deeper into the area;
You choose the craft — kayak, paddleboard, or both within your group
Owned and operated by SURFIT USA, a local company rooted in marine conservation.
The launch location is hard to beat: We meet at Ted Sperling Park on Lido Key, close to Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, and Downtown Sarasota
This tour is filled with wildlife: birds, fish, invertebrates, and the chance to spot dolphins/manatees (seasonal and conditions permitting).
