Another amazing paddle board trip with South Florida Paddle. We took advantage of the weekday rental special 4 hours for 30 dollars. Can't beat that! Marissa explained to us the conditions before heading out she also told us where to look for marine life. We first headed out under the bridge to the sandbar. We spotted so many sea turtles, a stingray and manatees! The water was crystal clear and the perfect spot to chill out. Being that it was a weekday the boat traffic was minimum and it was actually very quiet. We still had remaining time and decided to head over to Fullerton island. Upon arrival back in Marissa was there to collect the gear and showed us a hose to clean our feet. Thanks for always taking good care of us!

We love South Florida Paddle! Every year we are in town we sign up for a tour. The Jupiter meeting spot is our favorite for seeing marine life. We have gone at low tide and high tide, both tides offer different water clarity. We have gone on the tour to the Jupiter inlet and to Fullerton Island both were amazing!! On our recent tour we paddled to Fullerton Island and then out to a sandbar. This was our favorite adventure yet. We were lucky to see MANATEES, sea turtles were seen everywhere. rays with spots, sea urchins, starfish the list goes on. The price is on point for a private tour 60 per person very reasonable. We love our guide always making sure we are safe, and bringing water along so we don't have to worry. We will keep telling all our friend about South Florida Paddle. Thank You!

It’s also a pleasure having your family join us! The Jupiter tour is our favorite too. Lots of marine life to discover and you can’t beat that beautiful high tide water. Can’t wait to see you all out on the water again soon.

Since we had limited paddle boarding experience, we did the 2 hour Jupiter Private Lesson and Eco tour Fullerton Island All Levels. The morning was gorgeous and Fullerton Island was beautiful. We saw some wildlife in the intracoastal waterways such as sea turtles, osprey, barracudas and other fish. I particularly appreciated the expert SUP instruction of Marissa about how to stand up, paddle and ride some of the waves.

Absolutely excellent. Marissa was so professional, friendly and sweet. She treats you like family. I took my Daughter who was down from college for a Sunrise paddle for a great bonding experience. Though the weather was a little grey and windy, we had a great time seeing Manatees. Marissa was so knowledgeable and knew all the great spots. Growing up as a Florida native we still felt like we were on vacation with her guidance. Definitely recommend Marissa and South Florida Paddle to anyone visiting it native to Florida

A fun journey paddling on the water this weekend watching manatees, learning about juvenile horseshoe crabs at Munyon Island, and watching ospreys catching a meal. It was very cool seeing for the first time such small horseshoe crabs working their way through the sand. I always enjoy the tours of such beautiful marine areas and the patience of my guide Marissa and her knowledge of marine life is much appreciated.

Excellent SUP Adventure in Jupiter. Our group had so much fun paddle boarding. Right after getting onto the boards we had a manatee swim up to us. Then two minutes later there were sea turtles swimming under us. The area was very peaceful and away from most of the boat traffic. Marissa had us stop at a beach where she served us water and found a starfish for us to view. You could tell she really loves what she does and respects the area. We really loved having keepsake photos emailed to us after the tour.

I brought my sister here while she was visiting from out of town. We had a great time paddling around MacArther Park and checking out the beautiful nature and wildlife. Marissa was a great guide with lots of awesome local knowledge and was very encouraging and patient with us! This is my new go to spot to bring my out of town friends paddle boarding. Thank you Marissa!

My family just had the most amazing time paddle boarding with Marissa, South Florida Paddle. It was my family and another family on the tour. We were getting ready to go under the bridge to the sandbar area, but before even making it under the bridge Marissa spotted a manatee. I swear it was like the manatee recognized her and swam right over to her board. The manatee then took a couple breaths and we started to paddle under the bridge. Well the manatee joined us and just swam along the tour for 15 minutes. That was one of the coolest experiences of my life! The manatee stopped to eat and we kept paddling seeing sea turtles, rays 4 more manatees (that all swam over to visit) and the water was just perfect. We stopped for a water/swim break along the mangroves. Our family really felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Cannot wait to go back!

What a fun day! We had only paddle boarded once before so booked a private tour in anticipation of needing some extra help. It was much easier than we thought and we had a great time paddling to Munyon Island, ducking through the mangroves and seeing lemon sharks, sea turtles and lots of fish and horseshoe crabs. Ethan was a terrific guide and we can’t wait to book our next adventure with South Florida Paddle. We highly recommend.

We booked the advanced tour with South Florida paddle, and had the most amazing time! Our guide, Marissa was very patient with an eye for spotting sea life. We loved seeing the manatees pass by, sea turtles and the big beautiful sea stars. I loved how much Marissa cared for the area.. Any trash that we paddled by she made sure to pick up. This was the highlight of our weekend! We will definitely be back!
