About us

Bayside Water Sports is a water sports rental hut on City Island in Sarasota, Florida. From our spot at Ken Thompson Park we rent kayaks, paddleboards, a pedal boat and a jet ski by the hour, plus snorkel sets, beach umbrellas and coolers. You can also head out with us on a sunset paddleboard tour, a dolphin and mangrove snorkel tour or a guided kayak eco-tour.

We fit your life jacket and show you the best calm-water route for the day. Pick what you want, choose your date and check out online, and a confirmation email follows. Then come see us at the hut and we will get you on the water.
