Beyond kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals, the concessionaire also offers glass-bottom boats, snorkeling, sailing, and scuba tours.
Sit-on-top kayaks, canoes, and paddleboard rentals give guests a way to explore 50 miles of natural mangrove wilderness trails throughout Pennekamp’s waters.

Power Boat Rentals are also available: a fleet of 21-foot Release semi-V center consoles powered by quiet, reliable 150 HP four-stroke Yamaha outboards, ideal for reef relaxation, fishing, scuba diving, or simply cruising the clear blue-green Atlantic waters — priced at $400 for 4 hours or $500 for a full day, fuel included. A boat ramp is available at the marina ($10), and boat slips/moorings can be rented overnight, including water, electric, trash, and pump-out access.
Beach Rentals cover snorkeling equipment at Cannon Beach (near a 17th-century cannon and an authentic Spanish shipwreck replica, just 100 feet offshore) and Far Beach (great for swimming and relaxing under palm trees with more shade).
