Gulfside Paddleboards

Great first experience on a SUP!
Nate provided just enough overview for my daughter and I and told us that it was very windy and if we wanted to re-​schedule it would be okay. while windy, we were glad we went out. 30 minutes into our trip we saw 4 manatees!
Great value, lots of parking at Turtle Beach, very friendly Nate.
Highly recommend!

After some online research for paddle board rental outfitters, we found Gulfside and rented a SUP for the week. The price was great and the board was in fantastic condition. It was delivered (with a smile) to our condo and was one of the highlights of our week! BIG THANKS to Nate for great customer service… we will definitely rent from him again!

I rented a paddleboard and kayak from Gulfside. They were fantastic with service, dropping off and picking up. Would rent from them again without hesitation.

Took a family of 5 out for several hours. Hit a bit of a snag at the start but Nate came through. Would recommend this outfit to families traveling in the Siesta Key area.

My parents and I spent the last hours of daylight on Nate’s paddleboards. We opted for a tour of the mangroves south of Siesta Beach near Casey Key. The weather held off and we got to enjoy a gorgeous day on the water as we reached midnight pass beach, a very serene and private spot where we cooled off in the gulf. After that we roamed the mangroves a little more and Nate informed us of the history of the area and even took pictures of us. They turned out great! We continued on and got to explore on our own as long as we stayed within Nate’s sight.
Throughout the excursion we witnessed sites we haven’t seen before. And after living here all my life it was a refreshing and exciting adventure for all of us. And although it was our first time paddleboarding we paddled with ease and to my surprise my mother and my father succeeded in standing up and staying standing! Nate brought a water tight bag where he kept valuables for us and he brought waters for everyone, a very nice and unanticipated gesture.
Nate takes his business serious. Before getting started he gave an effective and time efficient rundown on how to navigate the waters. Life jackets were provided at request and if someone fell he was right there to help. But Nate also balanced professionalism with fun. There were plenty of smiles and laughs shared throughout the group. Without hesitation I would recommend Nate and his services to anyone!

Nate was wonderful! Patient, knowledgeable and easygoing… this was our first time on paddle boards and we had a great time. Highly recommend… we’ll be back.

Nate was extremely helpful and flexible. We changed our itinerary multiple times and he was able to meet all of our needs. He was even able to suggest a less crowded area on Siesta Key rather than the main beach. He gave me extra instruction and help, all to ensure that I had the best time paddleboarding. Thanks for such a great day. :)
