Visit Steinhatchee Marina for the Best Kayaking in FL

Florida is one of the best places in the world to be if you love water sports, sea life, and fun under the sun. There is much to be said about chartering a boat to go out fishing or scalloping for the day, but if you’d prefer to avoid the noise of boat engines in favor of a more natural approach, why not take a kayak out instead? Kayaking, river or ocean-bound, is one of the most enjoyable ways to enjoy the great outdoors. At Steinhatchee Marina, we’re pleased to provide some of the best kayaking experiences you’ll find anywhere along the Gulf Coast. With competitively priced kayak rentals and incredible scenery all around us, Steinhatchee Marina is a top choice for avid kayakers.

Kayaking Laws and Regulations in Florida

Before you head out on the water, be sure to brush up on the state and local laws and regulations that affect kayakers. In Florida, all non-motor-powered kayaks are exempt from registration and from boating education identification requirements. There is no minimum age requirement to go out clear boat kayaking. Boating under the influence laws do apply.

Florida requires one life jacket on board per person, and all children under six are required to wear a USCG-approved Type I, II, or III PFD. If you plan to go out kayaking before sunrise or after sunset, you’ll need at least a flashlight or a lantern. You must also have a sounding device any time of the day.
