Silver Springs Paddle Craft Rentals
Overview
What sets our rentals apart? Local expertise and the best fleet on the river. We're one of the only outfitters offering a wide array of paddle craft such as the viral Crystal Clear Kayaks. Prefer something classic? Our sit-on-top kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are stable, comfortable, and beginner-friendly. But the real difference is what comes with your rental: insider knowledge from a local guide. Before you launch, we'll tell you where the manatees have been hanging out, which stretch the otters favor, and where you're most likely to spot the wild monkeys — so your two hours on the water count. Add easy booking, friendly service, and a launch right at one of Florida's most iconic springs, and you've got the best way to experience the Silver River.
What's Included
- Paddle Craft & Equipment
- There is a $2.00 park entrance and a $4.00 Launch fee that will have to be paid to the State Park

What To Expect
Want a more personal solo mission? Skip the schedule and explore Silver Springs at your own pace with our paddlecraft rentals. Choose your ride — a crystal-clear kayak for a window straight down to the springs below, a stable sit-on-top kayak, a classic canoe perfect for pairs and families, or a paddleboard for those who want to glide above it all. You'll launch onto one of Florida's most famous spring-fed rivers, where the water stays a refreshing 72 degrees year-round and the wildlife doesn't follow a tour schedule — keep watch for manatees, river otters, alligators, turtles, wading birds, and even Silver Springs' famous wild monkeys along the banks. All rentals include paddles and life vests, plus launch tips and route suggestions from a local guide who knows exactly where to point you. Your adventure, your pace.
