We had the best experience with Joey at Island Breeze Kayaking Tours! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and so relaxing. Paddle boarding was awesome, and my favorite part was getting to see all the amazing wildlife up close in the crystal clear waters. Joey also took us through a little paddle under the mangroves, which made the tour feel even more unique and special. He’s super knowledgeable, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable no matter your skill level. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area—we’ll definitely be back!

We always get our gear here! Super helpful and great gear. Lots of fun places to explore. This is such a fun activity. Highly recommend!
We ALWAYS have a blast renting from Joey. He’s not only a great human- friendly, energetic, approachable- but he is a Florida native full of experience and knowledge of the wildlife, water, and beaches. You will not be disappointed! Go see Joey! 🤙🏼
Awesome time super great outfit to work with, top notch equipment and all in excellent condition. Would highly recommend and will definitely use them again in future excursions
It was beautiful, especially going in the morning, the temperature was perfect!! It was a nice relaxing experience, beautiful nature, very kind and patient guide!!! Loved it! I'd do it again for sure!
They delivered the paddle boards less than 30 min after I ordered them! Equipment was in excellent shape. I will definitely use them again.
Great experience and our guide Joey was the best, very familiare with the surroundings and fun to listen to. Had real fun with the 4 of us. Greets the Broersen Family
The guy Joey took very good care of us and it shows he loves what he’s doing. Great place to paddle board. the water was beautiful and clear. I will be back!
Joey was super friendly and helpful! Great equipment. Map and directions of the area helped us head out on our own little adventure! Would definitely recommend!
Fabulous trip, the mangroves and manatees were amazing ❣️ I would highly recommend this tour to anyone in the area, in fact I am sending more family members to Joey.
We had a great experience! Joey was knowledgeable and accommodating. He stayed in contact with us before our trip to get us exactly what we needed (paddle boards) and a tandem kayak and worked with us around high winds to move our trip back a day so we could have a great experience. We loved paddling out to the beach and through the mangroves. Can’t wait to go back!
Guys were super friendly, gave us some bags for shelling and chatted a little about the area. No manatees this time of year, but saw some dolphins! Great way to spend a morning.
Joey took my family and I out for a beautiful tour, places even a native didn't know about. He has so much knowledge about the area. Very pleased! Will tell everyone about this wonderful experience, thanks again Joey!
Rented a kayak from Joey . Called a day ahead of time and he was able to deliver the kayak the next morning ! It was a good quality kayak . Can’t recommend Joey enough for any kayak or paddle board needs .
The views are awesome and the mangrove tunnels were so beautiful and peaceful 🙏 Love the different types of birds, and saw a few dolphin 🐬 Such a great tour! Can’t wait to go back 🙂👍
Awesome experience. Our whole family was went it was amazing we were treated exceptionally. I would highly recommend it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Joey is a longtime friend and all around, FANTASTIC guy! Having spent his life here on the west coast of south Florida on the beaches and on the gulf, he is the perfect person to enjoy a tour with! Joey knows the marine life and waterways like the back of his hand. You will VERY LIKELY see manatee or dolphin if you are on the water with him. If you’re new to the area and/or a newbie in a board or kayak, he’s a great teacher. If you are just interested in a rental, he takes the hassle out of it all completely! Just show up, bring a cooler and some snacks, and he’ll send you on your way with the necessary direction you need. Joey is the best! Go see him!
I was fortunate to book a private tour with Joey and Island Breeze. I enjoyed every minute! It is a beautiful area and Joey knows it well. We saw dolphins, lots of birds and even a baby shark! Stopped at the beach to collect some shells and were even able to go thru the mangroves into areas you would not find on your own. There were no manatees on this trip, but Joey shared some amazing photos from other tours. Highly recommend Joey and Island Breeze. I will book with them again.
Joey was on-time, friendly and really has an 'aloha' spirit. Drop off and pickup was easy and convenient. Great area to paddle board or kayak.
What a phenomenal experience! I rented a SUP for a few hours and paddled out to the islands at the end of the inlet. Joey, the rental operator, was so cool and laid back! He helped me load all of my gear and sent me on my way. When I got back, Joey helped me unload and invited me back! I might have to take him up on that!
Joey rented us his paddleboards to us for a couple of hours. He explained some new areas to go around the mangroves, and even supplied a map. The boards and equipment was in excellent condition and we had such a blast. Can't thank him enough for his kindness and expertise. You will not be disappointed with whatever experience you decide to book!
Yesterday we had an incredible SUP & kayak tour with Island Breeze! We cruised through mangrove forests on glassy water, saw about every type of bird you can see in Florida, encountered about 15 manatees that just hung around for awhile, then landed on a beautiful white sandy beach along the Gulf of Mexico. We stayed out there and swam in the gulf, had a picnic and a great time! Do this your and you will go home loving Naples, Florida! Thanks Joey!
Great! It couldn't be better. Super nice contact. You can explore the area and get a map and explanations along the way. We saw great fish, such as a small ray.
