There’s never an offseason for aquatic adventure here in Pensacola Beach, Florida, home to Portofino Island, a dreamlike, white-sand haven that hugs the Gulf of Mexico. Portofino Island itself is an adventure-based hub, as travelers can partake in a wide variety of water-based pursuits, including parasailing, paddleboarding, surfing, wave running, sailing, and, of course, kayaking. This luxurious, 28-acre resort is sandwiched between the awe-inspiring, turquoise Gulf of Mexico and the less-traveled Santa Rosa Sound. Thus, we boast a fleet of Pensacola Beach kayak rentals readily available during all four seasons.
Affordable Pensacola Beach Kayak Rentals
Portofino Island has dozens of single and double occupancy Pensacola Beach kayak rentals available to the general public. Typically, a one-hour rental costs a flat rate of $30. However, don’t forget about our “crystal” kayaks, which run at $45 per hour during the summertime (with discounted rates during non-peak months). Crystal kayaks, also known as “clear bottom” or “transparent” kayaks, are perfect for those hoping to spot a bevy of underwater critters, as well as vibrant coral and unique rock formations. To make a reservation, please call us today at 877-484-3405.
Paddle through the Gulf or Santa Rosa Sound
During the summer months, Portofino Island offers a “Kayak the Cove” guided excursion that costs $40. The trips head inland into a sheltered, overgrown cove where birdlife thrives, before, eventually, heading back into Santa Rosa Sound for an open-water voyage. Kayakers should note that Portofino Island has two distinct waterfront experiences: Adventure Beach and Adventure Cove. Adventure Beach hugs the Gulf, while the Cove’s water park area rests atop Santa Rosa Sound. Both are steps from all of our luxurious Pensacola Beach condos, which are dispersed throughout five distinct towers on our 28-acre resort property.
While travelers can book kayak rentals via our a la carte service, we invite you to take a peek at our all-inclusive Adventure Packages. For one flat rate, (up to) four guests can utilize a bevy of rentals, including surfboards, boogie boards, bicycles, bocce ball, beach sets, and, yes, kayaks.
