Amazing yacht rental experience. Ben was great on board, helpful, friendly and on top of everything. Everything went perfect, and the jet skis were superior. Will definitely be back.

The Experience
Paddleboarding & Kayaking on a Private Yacht
The Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal is one of the best places in Florida for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. Its protected lagoons and mangrove creeks are shielded from ocean swell, flat, and clear year-round. During your charter, your captain anchors at a calm spot such as Lake Sylvia or a Whiskey Creek mangrove pocket, and the boards and kayaks are deployed directly from the yacht. Guests can explore the surrounding water at their own pace while others relax on deck, swim, or enjoy the sun. Whether you book a Fort Lauderdale yacht charter with paddleboarding as a standalone add-on or combine it with jet ski rental, snorkeling tours, or a family yacht charter, we handle all the logistics.
Activities
What You Can Book
Stand-Up Paddleboarding
Glide across the flat, protected water of the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal on a stand-up paddleboard. Sheltered lagoons like Lake Sylvia have no ocean swell and clear conditions year-round, making them some of the best places in Florida to paddleboard.
Kayak Rental
Explore from your anchor point by kayak. Paddle into Whiskey Creek, follow the mangrove edges, or cruise the Intracoastal at your own pace. Single and tandem kayaks are available depending on your group.
Combined Group Sessions
Book both paddleboards and kayaks together for a mixed session. Ideal for larger groups where guests have different preferences. Both activities launch directly from the anchored yacht.
Location
Why the Fort Lauderdale Water Is Perfect
01
Flat, Calm Water
The Intracoastal is shielded from open ocean conditions by the barrier island. The water stays flat even when conditions offshore are rough, making it ideal for beginners and casual paddlers.
02
Year-Round Conditions
Fort Lauderdale's subtropical climate means paddleboarding and kayaking are enjoyable in every season. Water temperature stays above 75 degrees from April through November, and rarely drops below 70 in the cooler months.
03
Lagoon & Mangrove Access
Sheltered spots like Lake Sylvia and the Whiskey Creek mangroves in Dania Beach sit in protected water with shallow, clear conditions that are ideal for launching paddleboards and kayaks directly from the anchored yacht.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can paddleboard and kayak rental be added to any Fort Lauderdale yacht charter?
- Yes, paddleboard and kayak rental can be added to most charters. Our team confirms availability based on your yacht, group size, and itinerary when you book.
- Do we need experience to paddleboard or kayak?
- No experience is needed for either activity. Kayaking is straightforward for almost anyone. Paddleboarding takes a few minutes to get the hang of, and our crew gives a short briefing before you get on the board. The flat, protected water of the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal makes it one of the easiest places in the country to learn.
- Where do we use the paddleboards and kayaks in Fort Lauderdale?
- Sessions take place at sheltered anchor points along the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal, typically at a protected lagoon like Lake Sylvia behind the Harbor Beach barrier island, or in a calm mangrove creek such as Whiskey Creek in Dania Beach. The shallow, protected water is ideal for both activities.
- How many paddleboards and kayaks can be added?
- We can arrange multiple boards and kayaks depending on your group size. Contact us with your group details and we will confirm what can be arranged for your charter date.
- Can children use the paddleboards and kayaks?
- Yes, both activities are suitable for children with adult supervision. Tandem kayaks work well for younger children who want to paddle with a parent. Our crew provides life vests and a safety briefing for all guests.
- Can we combine paddleboard and kayak rental with jet ski rental?
- Yes. Many groups book paddleboards, kayaks, and jet skis together for a full water activity experience. Contact us and we will put together the right combination for your group.
