Three times during three brief visits to Siesta Key from Canada I've used Bob's fantastic company. I paddle around the world and Bob's is one of my favourite guides and SUP companies. He guided me once with a small group through the mangroves and was professional, full of SUP tips, interesting facts and fun. Two other times Bob rented me... More

My son and his wife were in town on vacation and wanted to go paddleboarding. I almost didn't go with them, convinced I could not do it. Bob was great and explained exactly what we needed to do step by step. When I expressed doubts about my ability, he said, "It's all in your mind." That helped me overcome my... More

I used Sarasota Paddleboard Company because of all the positive reviews about them online. Bob was very friendly and accommodating when we rented the paddleboard from him. He was very wiling to go the extra mile to make his customers happy and genuinely seemed to want us to have a great time. We will definitely use him the next time... More

We had a mixed group. Some of us were experienced, some were scared at first, but the people at Sarasota Paddleboard were very patient and everyone had a great time! Thank you! This is a must-do activity when we visit Sarasota.

He took his time making sure we were comfortable on our boards before lettng us loose and sending us through the mangroves. These tree... More

I rented 7 paddleboard from Bob for my neices and nephews. We had a blast none of us had paddleboarded before we all had a great time. Bob was great set everyone up and got us on the water fast. We all want to do it again.

Bob was so patient with my 11-year-old and 6-year-old boys to get us started. Within an hour they were standup paddling for the first time! Will definitely rent from him again if we ever make it back to Sarasota.

Last year we rented 2 boards from BOB and we LOVED his service so much we rented from again this year. This year he insisted everyone had their own board, we we reluctant b/c only 2 of us were able to stand up last year. BUT we TRUSTED him and he was RIGHT. My son and niece were able to... More

I have rented SUP boards from Bob at least 5x, always bringing different friends or family with me. They always have varying levels of experience, mostly beginners. Bob always have the right board for me (medium level of experience), and takes the time to teach my friend or family how to get up and go on the board. The Mangrove... More
