My family had a wonderful jet ski ride with Tim guiding us along the way. We covered a lot water where we definitely got our moneys worth. This adventure definitely exceeded our expectations. Newer machines and friendly service! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun jet ski ride in Florida. We will definitely be back!

Rented kayaks for the family, worked with us to find the perfect fit for our families needs. Directed us to a great day of kayaking through a mangrove swamp. We saw birds, dolphins, insects and other creatures. Great day and week worth the money. We will definitely be doing this again.

The staff in the back was professional and funny they made sure we got life jackets. The tour guy Timothy was great instructions were easy and is all about safety but also takes You to a open area we’re you can go fast and have plenty of fun. The price isn’t bad either!My girlfriend and I appreciate and will return! THANK YOU

My experience with Wildlife Watersports was AMAZING. Staff was extremely friendly, flexible, and I can’t wait to go back. A few friends and I drove from Lakeland, FL (2hr drive) to kayak for the day, and ended up renting a pontoon boat for a couple hours - seeing as how it would’ve costed the same amount for all of us to get individual kayaks. None of us in the group had a boater’s license, so the staff helped navigate me to the correct website and made sure we felt prepared. We had our temporary license within 20 min, for only $10! The boat was in GREAT condition, and the staff gave us a rundown of the best places in the area to visit/get the best bang for our buck. At the end of our day, we rode back in and Heidi was out there helping us safely dock (judgement free of our horrible parking job Lol). We really left there feeling fulfilled and grateful. Highly recommend Wildlife Watersports for any rental needs. We got word that they will most likely have air bnb rooms by next summer (2021), so I’ll be going back!

Just rented 2 tandem kayaks. Staff gave us direction to a water swing. It was great fun. Beautiful area, we saw a dolphin and a lot of birds.Really nice staff. We called them when we were on the water for directions, very helpful. Sanitized our life jackets when we got back.

Such a fun ride!! We highly recommend Wildlife Watersports!!! 2 guides (Heidi and another lady I didnt catch the name of, sorry) took my boyfriend and I out on jet skis and we had the best time!! The bf got to feed his need for speed and I got to putt putt around behind the speedsters looking for dolphins which we did see! Resonable pricing, friendly service, couldnt ask for more. They also rent paddleboards, kayaks, and boats. You should definitely check this place out!!!

We rented 3 tandem kayaks yesterday. Very reasonable price of 50 dollars each for use of the kayaks all day. Not sure of their names but the man and woman who helped us were very pleasant and helpful. Since it was the first time kayaking for everyone in our party of 6 except 1, they gave us good instructions on using the paddles and best places to check out on the river. Would definitely return on next trip to possibly rent a couple jet skis

We absolutely loved this place, and will definitely be back in the near future! The customer service, the equipment and the location were phenomenal!We rented a pontoon boat for half a day, the boat itself was in really great shape. You can tell they pride in keeping all of the equipment up to date and clean. Once we arrived back from our ride, we hung out at the pool on location!!!! They even let us get delivery by the pool. They were even nice enough to pull a coconut from one of the palm trees for my son to take home.I was so pleased with this experience and will recommend to anyone looking not only for a good time out in the water, but a fun time after. Thank you guys so much for the great experience, see you soon!

The staff is friendly and helpful, we rented paddle boards for the first time and had a great time, the river is amazing! We saw dolphins, horseshoe crabs, jumping mullet, and lots of birds. We will definitely be back for more fun. They have boat rentals, jet skis and kayaks as well as offer nighttime bioluminescent tours.

Overall it was a terrific experience from beginning to end. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our group did the Jet Ski excursion rental and had a BLAST!!! You start off slow as you go through the protective Manatee and Dolphin area but once you pass through that zone and go under the bridge it’s FREE & FAST riding from there all the way up to the last 15 minutes. We enjoyed it a lot and will definitely rent from them again!

As a local, I was looking for some outdoor activity after weeks of isolation. I rented two kayaks online for my husband and I one Sunday afternoon. I did everything easily online, including signing waivers, so when we got there it took 5 minutes and we were getting in our boats and off we went.Everyone was really nice and helpful.I didnt know until we got there that they have some drinks for sale, and if youre getting one of the bigger boats you can rent coolers too!Theres an option to get a day pass for a cute little pool right on site, for maybe younger kids or family who arent up for paddling.

Had a nice selection of rental gear from stand up paddle boards (SUP), kayaks, Craig cat electric boats , and up to pontoon boats. My daughter wanted try a SUP, but it was fairly windy, I rented a craig cat (2 person tiny boat) and got set up to tow her back downwind (I am an experienced boater), so both of us had a good time. Staff was very helpful.

Burned out sitting in your living room? Binge watched anything & everything on Netflix? Hibernating in your home, withdrawn & fearful over some invisible spore that may jump you, when your guard is down?Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving....water, waves, manatee, dolphins, ocean breeze & a cool drink, all while floating away on a Wildlife Watersports boat. Friendly customer service and care, devoted to your happiness.We highly recommend it. :)

We rented a Craig cat boat. Super easy to maneuver, but the water was a little rough yesterday. Beautiful views! We only got to see one dolphin- maybe due to the colder weather or time of day? Not sure. But lots of birds! They also have a pool and a gorgeous view of the sunset! Well definitely be back on a warmer day next time were in town!! John helped us out. Hes great! Highly recommend this place!

Instead of doing a Groupon promo advertising a jet ski outing for $7 (93% off) and then adding a $70 “fuel and launch fee” why not simply state this is $45 off your normal rate of $115?

Review №64

We rented the electric craigcat boat. My son and I were a little disappointed in the speed of the boat. I didnt think to ask about speed but I knew it would be slower then a gas powered. The electric boat top speed was less than 5mph. The craigcat boat would be good for sight seeing relaxing and enjoying a drink. If they were open late or early mornings it would be awesome for sunrises and sunsets. Plus you would see so much more wildlife. But the company was awesome. They have a big ice machine there so you can fill your cooler. They allow you to bring beer and etc on your rentals. They rent platoon boats as well. As we were leaving there was a group checking in with coolers and music. They were ready to party. Also the company have a pool. On site which you can enjoy as well. The pool is included in all rentals. Just before the dock there is chair on the beach to relax in as well. Great photo area. Plenty of sup to rent as well. My next visit to cocoa beach we will be renting a SUP.

Rented a pontoon boat for 10 people. They are very family oriented and have a grill and pool for the kids to swim after the boat ride.

Review №66

Awesome day of adventure! They had a lot of options from paddle boarding to kyaking and 2 person motor boats all in an area where there is no danger of anything that bites and that is frequented by manatee and dolphins. We are a family of 6 - all different ages - so we took a pontoon out for four hours. It was well worth the price (less than going to an amusement park or whatnot). Wed never driven a boat but he gave us lessons, helped get the kids fitted in life jackets, and provided 2 small coolers with all the ice we wanted. We were given free reign to go wherever we desired. We saw a pod of three dolphins and a lone dolphin. They were playful and came close. We also saw lots of other native wildlife including horseshoe crabs, birds and the lizzards that are unique to the area. We land docked and explored two of the islands which gave a chance for the kids to swim. Overall a great experience we would definitely do again!

This was a very upscale Watersports facility. It was an immaculate well kept property with a beautiful pool, sand area to hang out and picnic tables. We saw manatees 10 minutes after getting in our kayak. Reasonable prices also. David went above and beyond to Assist our family in an incredible day. We will definitely return. They even offer nighttime kayaking to see the jelly fish glowing in the water. Even the bathrooms were spotless. Really awesome place! Bring your food and plan to hang out on the property after your water activity.

We rented a craigcat. Staff was super helpful, making sure we had everything we needed and instructing us on how to use and where to go. We spent a fun couple of hours boating around the area.

Our first experience from three years ago was a 5 star experience. Our second experience from Saturday March 16th, 2019 was beyond 5 stars! The location is perfect. Its just off the well traveled and tourist hot spots along A1A. The service and amenities are top notch. They have the best beach vibes and amenities minus the crowds, rip currents and hauling all your beach gear to and from the car through soft sand. They have a beautiful pool and deck to enjoy in between your paddle boarding outings or if you have those in your party who arent up for being out on the water. There is a place and an activity for everyone, for any age, for any ability. Thank you so much to Don and David.

Review №93

What a gem! We popped in here on a whim to see if we could do some kayaking with the kids. After having just got of a cruise we were not dressed, everything in suitcases, and the manager told us everything we needed to know, then offered to let us have the run of the place getting everything unpacked and changed. Loaned us some coolers full of ice with a recommendation to grab some food and drinks from the grocery store, and then set us off with everything we needed. After kayaking around some mangroves deep out in the bay out of sight we ate lunch on the water then made our way back. They said we could split up our time and take a break and swim in the pool and relax on the facilities until we wanted to go back out. Threw us a few pool toys and it was perfect. Exactly what we needed. There were a few other people there that stumbled on the place too and had pizza ordered and were playing cornhole between swimming and doing some paddle boarding. We ended up making half a day at the place and kept bringing it up as an option of going back when kicking around ideas of what else we wanted to do while in the area the next two days. Thank you everyone on staff, you guys were great and will definitely come back again if we are in the area.

Review №97

We took out the little pontoon boat, was fun and relaxing. I assume the owner is the one that helped us and he was very friendly and made lots of suggestions of where we could go, even encouraging us to stay out a little longer to get all of our time in. We didnt see any dolphins or manatees, but it was relaxing being on the water anyway. Only complaint is the little bathrooms were pretty smelly, smelled like urine and they were completely full of love bugs at the time. Not much you can do about that part since they were kind of outside in a garage with the doors open, but it was pretty stinky.

Review №99

Don helped us out, originally 4 of us were going to rent the Craig cats but decided on the pontoon to keep the 4 of us together and more comfortable for 4 hours. We saw dolphin, birds, and nature at its best. The people who run this place must have had their training from the Ritz Carleton, they are top notch, all the way around. Going back today for more, this time we will do the Craig cats. Highly recommend, this made our whole vacation worthwhile!
