Recreational – Aspire 105, Joy Ride 10, Joy Ride 12, Prodigy XS, Pungo 120, Pungo 125, Sound 12, Tarpon 120
Recreational kayaks are designed with both the beginning paddler and flat water in mind. They are shorter, wider, more stable, and easier to maneuver than touring kayaks but they take more effort to paddle than a touring kayak. They are great for flat water in the rivers and harbor, exploring smaller inlets, or on local ponds. Best choice for the beginner.

Touring – Carolina 12, Carolina 14, Expression 11, Tribute 12, Tsunami 140, Tsunami 145
Touring kayaks are sportier and a step up from a recreational kayak. They are longer and sleeker than recreational kayaks and have smaller cockpits suitable for attachment of a skirt. They are more efficient in moving through the water, but they are somewhat less maneuverable and less stable than the recreational kayaks. Most touring kayaks have storage for gear. They are perfect for people who are comfortable on the water and want to paddle farther or longer.

Tandem Kayaks & Canoes – Cove 14T, Conduit 14T and Mad River Canoe/Adventure 14
Perfect for two adults with room for child or pet as well as picnic lunch and plenty of gear.

Sit-on-top Kayaks – Pescador 13T, Tribe 9.5, Tribe 11.5, Triumph 13
Easy-in, easy-out kayak great for the beginner (or claustrophobic). No worries about tipping over because you can just climb back in and the boat is self-draining.

Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs)
Looking for the latest in paddling – this is it. A full body workout which is becoming a favorite cross-training activity, and with the advantage of height, you’ll get great views of the wildlife and what’s on the horizon. It’s almost like walking on water!

Save time – download our waiver and minor consent form (under 18), then print and complete with signatures and bring with you. Minors require signature by parent or guardian.

All visitors receive a laminated map with paddling guidelines when they go out in a boat. You can download our paddling guide here.

Have your own kayak or canoe and want to launch at Indian River Marina? There is a launch/parking fee of $15 per person. *We reserve the right to limit the number of personal kayaks or canoes launched due to parking availability
