Jetty Rentals offers kayak, paddleboard, and surfboard rentals near Dona Bay, Roberts Bay, and Lyons Bay, Florida, letting guests paddle to Snake Island, Cactus Island, and Bird Island for shelling and shark tooth hunting, or explore nearby waterfront and water-only access parks. The launch site sits within a Manatee Zone, where dolphins, manatees, and a variety of fish and birds are commonly spotted.
Every rental includes a PFD (toddler through adult sizes), a paddle, safety whistle, a laminated map for a self-guided experience, and a mini intro lesson for beginners. Waterproof phone bags are available for purchase for guests wanting to snap photos along the way. Weekly rentals include free delivery.
The fleet includes a Perception Pescador Single 12′ kayak, a Perception Tribe Tandem 13.5′ kayak, a Tahe Beach Cross 11’10” SUP, and a Yolo Yak 11’10” SUP, with 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour, and extended rental options.
All renters must complete a waiver, with minors under 18 requiring a parent or guardian’s signature. Given the coastal area’s occasional thunderstorms, strong winds, and tides, the business may cancel or close for safety, with current condition updates available by phone.
For paddlers near Nokomis/Venice, Florida looking for a genuinely scenic, self-guided kayak or paddleboard rental with real access to manatee and dolphin sightings, Jetty Rentals offers a well-equipped, straightforward operation.
