My husband and I had an absolutely unforgettable tandem kayaking adventure! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Cassie and the owner, Brian, were incredibly warm, welcoming, informative and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality was truly unmatched. The scenery was stunning, the equipment was top-notch, and the entire experience was both relaxing and exciting. We can’t recommend this enough—it’s a must-try! We’re already looking forward to our next trip back. Thank you, Cassie and Brian, for such an amazing day!

Great Experience!

This is the second time we’ve gone paddleboarding with Sunrise PaddleBoards, and we loved it. The staff is always helpful and takes the time to explain everything before the tour. They also provide a heads-up on what to expect regarding the weather and offer the best tips.

Thank you! We’ll definitely be back.

I planned a a private tour for a corporate group and we had the best time! It was such a nice way to take a break from meetings all day. Sarah was an excellent tour guide and provided us such a nice experience. Would definitely recommend!

This has become a required day on yearly trip to Ft Lauderdale. Can be relaxing paddle or a really good upper body workout, you choose. Interesting urban scenery, if you watch closely you can see some wildlife.
Have to say I prefer traditional kayaks, this boats ate surprisingly agile despite being a little heavier and non-streamlined.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Epic Kids Birthday Party at Sunrise Paddleboards! We were looking for a fun and unforgettable experience for our son and his friends and we found it at Sunrise Paddleboards! We celebrated my son's 9th birthday there, and it was an absolute blast. From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly and that all the kids were having a great time. They really could not have been more helpful.

The kids started off with canoeing and paddleboarding, which was led by experienced and patient guides who made everyone feel comfortable and gently eased the nervous kids into participating. Within minutes they were all getting the hang of it, laughing and paddling around with confidence. The lake behind the shop is a perfect, safe place for the kids to have fun and the lovely renovated deck area is a great space for the parents to watch and relax. The guides were so fun and thoughtful. After a while, they brought out a large raft for the kids to play on which the boys loved. They provided the life jackets and made sure everyone was safe and accounted for at all times.

The facilities are spacious and clean. They have an outdoor shower, an indoor changing area and a area for the kids to have lunch and cake and run around. The staff were fantastic and Troy was especially great with the kids. He played the music we requested and went out of his way to rig up our pinata and make it extra fun for the kids to hit.

Overall, our experience at Sunrise Paddleboards was amazing. The kids had a blast, and the adults had a great time relaxing and watching them enjoy themselves. I received so many compliments from the parents and the kids.

I highly recommend Sunrise Paddleboards for any birthday party or special event. It's a truly unique and memorable experience that your child will never forget!

This place is great, my team of 23 people all went and had a blast there was even one person who refused to paddle board and they offered a kayak for no extra charge. Other person accidentally broke an oar since they are apparently easily broken if you’re on the taller side and they we very understanding and did not up charge us for that either. This was one of the only places open since it was apparently too cold even though we did not think it was that bad (we are from Wisconsin) but this location was very accommodating and kind! This is a great place to go to I highly suggest going here on your next paddle boarding adventure!

This was better than I could have imagined! Our guide was amazing, and was so helpful with my father who is older (80) in and out of the kayak. I will definitely do this again when I come back to Fort Lauderdale!

I recently became a member here and every week I go paddleboarding to relieve some stress. This is such a great place from people to the water. I suggest going around 9:15 am if you want some peace to yourself. I started with a 6pm tour and from there have started full moon paddles. I met some good people on these full moon paddles. Everytime I go I feel like I am on a new adventure. Just yesterday I went and saw a manatee up close for the first time in my life. Also I am a florida native so that is crazy. Please be kind to the animals they are very precious. The only con I have is the boats. The people on boats can either be kind and slow down or be nasty and go fast. So if you wanna avoid that go early or take the mangrove path as bigger boats can not fit in the tiny canals. Shoutout to kent and Jay and all the other awesome instructors there. I highly recommend this place it is a blast and a chill atmosphere.
