Captain Yak (Greg) did a great job! He was very knowledgeable, prices good, and the equipment he provided for us to use was well cared for and comfortable. We will definitely use his services again when we are in St. Pete!

We rented a double kayak and had a great time! We visited Shell Key. It was about a 45 minute kayak each way to the beach, on the way back we went through two Mangrove tunnels, the second one was very small and felt super adventurous. We paddled around a sandbar with hundreds of white pelicans. We saw one small shark on the paddle in and horseshoe crabs, there were also a ton of fish jumping. The beach water was clear with tons of shells. Overall a great day. We were given good equipment and a clear map. Thanks!

We rented 2 tandems and were on the water for a little over 3 hours. We loved seeing the mullet jump and the cormorants swim under our boat. It was a relaxing and comfortable trip. Captain Yaks map and suggestions were just what we needed.

Highly recommend! Communication was awesome and very timely. Great kayak! It’s definitely a workout paddling in the area, and you’ll want to keep an eye on the tide.

Our experience with Capt Yak LLC was truly unforgettable from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, it was so clear that Capt Yak genuinely loves what he does, and that passion shines through in every detail of the experience. He has such a special way of making everyone feel welcome, relaxed, and excited, which made the entire adventure even more meaningful for our family. My daughter absolutely loved every second of it and still talks about it nonstop — honestly, the same goes for my husband, my sister, and me! Seeing her so happy, excited, and connected with the experience made it even more special for us as parents. Everything was perfect: peaceful, fun, beautifully organized, and filled with unforgettable moments. It felt like one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it’s over. We are already counting down the days until we can come back again. If you are thinking about booking with Capt Yak LLC, do it — it is truly an experience worth sharing with family and friends and one we would recommend again and again!

Great knowledge combined with great personality. We saw all kinds of wildlife, including dolphins and more white pelicans than we could count! Spent time on both sides of Shell Key. A spectacular day!! Added bonus: he is a Naval veteran with some amazing stories to tell.

Really fun experience kayaking out to Shell Key through the Shell Key Preserve and the surrounding mangrove ecosystem. Capt Yak was friendly, knowledgeable and set a good pace for the mixed experience crowd. Kayaks were in great shape and had good back support. Would highly recommend.

Today my other half (Nancy),and myself,took a 3 hour tour with Capt YAK kayaking out to Shell Key. It was an amazing day. Not only was the weather beautiful,but our guide GREG,was awesome. Very friendly,knowledgeable,great sense of humor and was always 👌 looking out for us. I have done many of these trips in Florida,by far he was the best guide. The tandem kayak we rented was the most comfortable also. I own my own kayak,he put really nice seats on his. Definitely worth mentioning. Speaking as a fairly experienced kayaker,this is the outfitter you want to choose.
