Experience Florida Eco-Tours

Experience safe, family-friendly adventures on the water with our expert-guided kayak tours and convenient clear kayak rentals in West and Southwest Florida. Why choose a clear kayak? Unlike traditional hulls, our 100% transparent polycarbonate vessels act as a magnifying glass into the world beneath the waves. This unique perspective transforms a simple paddle into an immersive nature documentary.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike, our tours explore the scenic Intracoastal Waterways, where you'll witness Florida's natural beauty up close. Our guides are trained to spot the abundant wildlife that calls these waters home. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins hunting in the shallows, gentle manatees resting in warm pockets, and schools of snook, tarpon, and redfish darting through the seagrass.

Explore the Mangroves: Paddle through winding mangrove tunnels that form natural canopies over the water. These "walking trees" are crucial to the Florida ecosystem, serving as nurseries for fish and protection against erosion. Gliding silently through these tunnels in a clear kayak offers a serene connection with nature that few other vessels can provide.

With multiple waterfront launch locations near St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Bradenton, and Longboat Key, planning your next outdoor adventure has never been easier. Whether you're seeking a peaceful solo paddle, an unforgettable family outing, or a group eco-tour guided by experienced locals, Watersports Now is your go-to destination. We provide high-quality gear, including life jackets and dry bags, along with safety-focused instruction to ensure you are comfortable on the water.

Don't just look at the water—look through it. Book online today and get ready to explore Florida's waterways like never before.

About Us

Veteran Owned. Florida Born. Adventure Driven.

Welcome to your next unforgettable day on the water! We're a veteran-owned and operated small business proudly based in the heart of Florida.

Our team is made up of locals who grew up exploring the very landscapes we now share with our guests — from winding rivers and hidden estuaries to scenic coastal waters. We have spent years navigating the tides of Sarasota Bay, the hidden coves of St. Pete, and the lush tunnels of Bradenton.

We're not just a kayak tour company — we're passionate about Florida wildlife, eco-tourism, local history, and above all, creating memorable experiences. We aim to educate our guests on the importance of preservation so future generations can enjoy these pristine waters.

Every tour location is hand-picked by our crew with one simple rule: Would we bring our own friends and family here? If the answer isn't a big yes — it doesn't make the list. We prioritize safety and comfort, ensuring every guest, from toddler to grandparent, feels secure.

We believe in conservation, storytelling, and having a blast on the water — because that's the Florida way.

Come explore Florida like a local. We can't wait to paddle with you!
