If you haven’t taken a river tour yet, now is your chance. Be immersed in the waterfront wildlife, views of our expanding city, and friendlies like our sister company Pirate Water Taxi cruising down the river. Not to mention a great workout even for a pro!
A drivers license or government-issued picture ID is required to rent and will be kept as security until the rental is returned.
Tampa Riverwalk Rentals required you to stay with your water rental equipment (kayaks, paddleboards, boats) at all times. Leaving equipment unattended is not permitted. Please do not stop at other docks, unless for medical emergency issues.
Bottled water, a life jacket, and a map will be provided with each rental. Sunscreen, water, and other equipment will be available for purchase.
Wear whatever will make you the most comfortable while paddle boarding, given the weather conditions of the day. Kayaking is a water sport and so you will want to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting wet in the event that you fall into the water. Most guests come wearing swimwear, or board shorts and have water-compatible shoes. A hat and sunglasses will be appreciated if the sun is out, and do not forget to apply sunscreen. Bring a spare set of clothes to change into afterward, in case you are wet.

A lot of fun. They explain everything really well. They can get quite busy so definitely book reservations ahead online, probably the day or two days in advance. But definitely worth the wait!
– Fuel P. | GoogleFirst time to ever rent a boat on the Hillsborough River. It was a great way to see many items that you miss by using the river walk. The ladies & gents were super helpful and nice. Perfect for this type of business. Thank you!
– James H. | GoogleMy friends and I took out the boats for an hour on a BEAUTIFUL Saturday morning. We loved every minute of it and the hour went by too fast! The boats are easy to operate and taking them out on the open water is so much fun! I'd recommend to anyone!
– Rachel A. | GoogleYou can paddle the calm Hillsborough River viewing historic sites and a vibrant Riverwalk or you can choose an open water Paddle on Hillsborough Bay with beautiful Mansions and Dolphin Sightings! Our brand new Crescent Stand Up Paddleboards are wide and stable.
