How it works

Three steps between you and the bay.

No storefront line, no confusing gear checklist. Just a quick conversation and a board headed your way.

Questions

Everything you need to know before you paddle.

How much does a paddle board rental cost? +

A weekend rental is $55 for 3 days, and you can pick up anytime. We'll also match any other provider's price.

Do you really match other providers' prices? +

Yes. If you find a lower price from another provider, let us know and we'll match it. We'd rather earn your business on service than win a race to the bottom on price.

Where do I pick up and drop off my board? +

Both are flexible, and you can pick up anytime. We have 2 convenient locations, Tampa and St. Pete, and once you reach out we'll work with you to find pickup and drop-off spots that make sense for both of us — often close to wherever you plan to launch that day.

Are you licensed and permitted? +

Yes. St. Pete SUP holds an official Livery Permit — the oversight required to legally rent watercraft in this area. When you rent from us, you're renting from a real, accountable business.

What's included in the rental? +

Every rental includes a stand up paddle board, paddle, hand pump, leash, fins, and a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Everything you need for a full day on the water is included.

Is this a good option for first-timers? +

Absolutely. Spots like Coffee Pot Bayou and Fort De Soto Park offer calm, protected water that's ideal if you've never paddle boarded before. We're happy to point you toward the right launch for your experience level.

Do you offer multi-day rentals? +

Yes. Our weekend rental is $55 for 3 days. If you need a longer rental, just mention it when you reach out and we'll work out the details and pricing with you directly.

Do you have a rent-to-own option? +

Yes. If you like the board, a rent-to-own option is available. Reach out and we'll walk you through how it works.

How do I book? +
