Yes! Our boards are very stable, and we'll give you a quick tutorial before you head out.
That's part of the fun! The boards are easy to climb back onto, and everyone wears a life jacket for safety.
Sorry, pets are not allowed on paddleboards for safety reasons.
Cape Crossing Marina, 306 Lagoon Way, Merritt Island, FL 32953
Cape Crossing delivers consistently great experiences on the water, with friendly staff like Tom, Mark, and Bob earning particular praise for their helpfulness. The check-in process is straightforward, especially if you complete the driver waiver online beforehand, and customers appreciate the fair pricing and good value. Repeat visitors keep coming back, which speaks volumes about the overall operation. The wildlife viewing is a major highlight here. Dolphins show up regularly, and many renters spot manatees and various birds during their trips. The CraigCats are popular choices, and there are also guided bioluminescence tours that get rave reviews for the magical experience of watching the water glow. Most boats operate reliably, though some equipment shows its age with worn seats or occasionally non-functional radios. A few customers noted the CraigCats sometimes need maintenance attention. The staff handles any issues professionally, including offering hassle-free refunds when weather becomes a concern. Half-day rentals seem perfect for first-timers, though many people wish they'd booked longer once they're out on the water.
Great family time on paddleboards and kayaks! Dockmaster Mark was super friendly and helpful getting us all on the water. Highly recommended!
