Had a blast! The staff was super helpful and nice. We saw a couple of dolphins while out and about. And if your cute enough and can sing the right song you might be able to leave with a coconut or 2!

Today my boyfriend and I rented two Jet skis from this company. Not only was the price right, but Tim was our tour guy and he was wonderful!!! he couldn’t have been any sweeter. He was extremely helpful and patient with everybody and very appreciative of our patronage. This is a family run business and they are superb. Also, their prices are lower than anybody else in town!!! I definitely recommend Wildlife water sports for Jet Ski rentals or pontoon rental etc. thank you for a wonderful time Tim. We will definitely see you next time we are in Cocoa Beach!!

My granddaughter and I rented a small two-person prop boat and spent an hour on the river enjoying the peacefulness. Lots of wildlife sightings including 4 dolphins feeding close by. Cool breeze, calm water, and lovely peace and quiet. Will definitely do this again.

The staff is friendly and helpful, we rented paddle boards for the first time and had a great time, the river is amazing! We saw dolphins, horseshoe crabs, jumping mullet, and lots of birds. We will definitely be back for more fun. They have boat rentals, jet skis and kayaks as well as offer nighttime bioluminescent tours.

Rented kayaks for the family, worked with us to find the perfect fit for our families needs. Directed us to a great day of kayaking through a mangrove swamp. We saw birds, dolphins, insects and other creatures. Great day and week worth the money. We will definitely be doing this again.

We had a blast. Never been on a seadoo or any kind of water craft. Our guide was awesome at teaching and helping along the way. We saw probably 5 dolphins within about 3 minutes of the tour. Would definitely recommend!

I took my two boys this past week, and we had a great time kayaking. We saw quite a few manatees...a number of them via a big splashing surprise. I had no idea how shallow the water was in this area. You can get out and walk!!!! We paddle all the way out to the mangroves. The staff was entertaining to say the least!!! We are going to go back for the bioluminescent tour at the end of the summer!

We had a great time in the electric Craig Cat. Took a ride on the Banana River. Roxy and the others were great! Highly recommend Wildlife Watersports. Even hung out by the pool there for a bit.

Review №28

We rented the electric craigcat boat. My son and I were a little disappointed in the speed of the boat. I didnt think to ask about speed but I knew it would be slower then a gas powered. The electric boat top speed was less than 5mph. The craigcat boat would be good for sight seeing relaxing and enjoying a drink. If they were open late or early mornings it would be awesome for sunrises and sunsets. Plus you would see so much more wildlife. But the company was awesome. They have a big ice machine there so you can fill your cooler. They allow you to bring beer and etc on your rentals. They rent platoon boats as well. As we were leaving there was a group checking in with coolers and music. They were ready to party. Also the company have a pool. On site which you can enjoy as well. The pool is included in all rentals. Just before the dock there is chair on the beach to relax in as well. Great photo area. Plenty of sup to rent as well. My next visit to cocoa beach we will be renting a SUP.

Rented kayaks for a terrific self guided tour. Found huge herds of manatee and an amazing array of birds. Wildlife Watersports also has a large variety of small craft to rent, a waterside pool, snacks, a bar, a beach. Great way to spend a day.

Awesome staff, gorgeous location, reasonable prices. We dropped by on our vacation to see what they had available. Our family went kayaking and had fun looking for manatees, and kayaking around the mangroves. We came back the next day and rented jet skiis. Our guide, Scott, was great. We followed him out to the area where we could ride the jet skiis fast, and play around, and he pointed out a few dolphins. Gorgeous location, with a nice sandy area to sit, and pool to swim in. The entire staff is so friendly. Definitely recommend!!!

Review №35

Rented a Pontoon boat from Wildlife Watersports. Our Pontoon, boat #2 did not have ALL of the safety devices. The number 1 safety device that any boat should come equipped with and ours did not, was an anchor! And good thing that we didn’t need the anchor otherwise we quite possibly could have drifted off into the ocean. Wildlife Watersports did not give a CLEAR explanation of how a driver should operate their boat.

Review №46

Awesome day of adventure! They had a lot of options from paddle boarding to kyaking and 2 person motor boats all in an area where there is no danger of anything that bites and that is frequented by manatee and dolphins. We are a family of 6 - all different ages - so we took a pontoon out for four hours. It was well worth the price (less than going to an amusement park or whatnot). Wed never driven a boat but he gave us lessons, helped get the kids fitted in life jackets, and provided 2 small coolers with all the ice we wanted. We were given free reign to go wherever we desired. We saw a pod of three dolphins and a lone dolphin. They were playful and came close. We also saw lots of other native wildlife including horseshoe crabs, birds and the lizzards that are unique to the area. We land docked and explored two of the islands which gave a chance for the kids to swim. Overall a great experience we would definitely do again!

Review №52

We had a fantastic experience all around. In most cases, it is impotant to support small independent business exactly because of the quality of service. The owners and staff were friendly and welcoming.Pontoon Boat - We rented a pontoon boat for 1/2 day. The boat was in good condition. The process including to get a temporarary boating permit was easy (online). The staff explained the operation and off we were on our adventure of the Banana river. We tried fishing. Went to a sandbar and anchored and swam. Lastly, there were dolphins and manatees which highlighted the outing.The location is great with a mini-beach and pool where we barbecued our lunch and then went to Cocao beach.Will definately be coming back

Review №61

This place is extremely bad. The boat we rented did not come equipped with all the safety devices. If you’re looking for a place to go, please don’t go here for your own safety. When you get there they don’t even explain anything. They should do their job, and make sure everyone is safe, they told us two things and that was it. I don’t recommend this awful place.

We absolutely loved this place, and will definitely be back in the near future! The customer service, the equipment and the location were phenomenal!We rented a pontoon boat for half a day, the boat itself was in really great shape. You can tell they pride in keeping all of the equipment up to date and clean. Once we arrived back from our ride, we hung out at the pool on location!!!! They even let us get delivery by the pool. They were even nice enough to pull a coconut from one of the palm trees for my son to take home.I was so pleased with this experience and will recommend to anyone looking not only for a good time out in the water, but a fun time after. Thank you guys so much for the great experience, see you soon!

Review №66

The pontoon boat was in horrible condition. The boat didnt have a anchor. When we rented the pontoon and representative went over a safety list.The anchor was supposed to be under the front bench. We took their word for it. Big mistake because we found out the hard way that we had no anchor. We also didnt have a radio. They didnt properly explain safety measures like speed control. Im a novice in boats from Decatur ga. I thought at 3000rpm and the boat barely moving and Im not passing anyone that i was obeying the rules and regulations. I learned thru the locals that I was going to fast.i should have been explained to exactly when and how fast I could go. What a wake was and the exact speed to cruise at. So for the first 30m I probably went 3500 rpm a couple times.I had to be chastised by locals a little bit to fully understand how slow to go. The owner said people complained on me and they didnt alert me until my trip was over. They called us tho several times about the weather or if I got loss. They should take the extra 30m they ask you to show up early and explain the rules and get a better explanation of your experience and knowledge of the area and equipment.

My experience with Wildlife Watersports was AMAZING. Staff was extremely friendly, flexible, and I can’t wait to go back. A few friends and I drove from Lakeland, FL (2hr drive) to kayak for the day, and ended up renting a pontoon boat for a couple hours - seeing as how it would’ve costed the same amount for all of us to get individual kayaks. None of us in the group had a boater’s license, so the staff helped navigate me to the correct website and made sure we felt prepared. We had our temporary license within 20 min, for only $10! The boat was in GREAT condition, and the staff gave us a rundown of the best places in the area to visit/get the best bang for our buck. At the end of our day, we rode back in and Heidi was out there helping us safely dock (judgement free of our horrible parking job Lol). We really left there feeling fulfilled and grateful. Highly recommend Wildlife Watersports for any rental needs. We got word that they will most likely have air bnb rooms by next summer (2021), so I’ll be going back!

We rented 3 tandem kayaks yesterday. Very reasonable price of 50 dollars each for use of the kayaks all day. Not sure of their names but the man and woman who helped us were very pleasant and helpful. Since it was the first time kayaking for everyone in our party of 6 except 1, they gave us good instructions on using the paddles and best places to check out on the river. Would definitely return on next trip to possibly rent a couple jet skis

Overall it was a terrific experience from beginning to end. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our group did the Jet Ski excursion rental and had a BLAST!!! You start off slow as you go through the protective Manatee and Dolphin area but once you pass through that zone and go under the bridge it’s FREE & FAST riding from there all the way up to the last 15 minutes. We enjoyed it a lot and will definitely rent from them again!

Such a fun ride!! We highly recommend Wildlife Watersports!!! 2 guides (Heidi and another lady I didnt catch the name of, sorry) took my boyfriend and I out on jet skis and we had the best time!! The bf got to feed his need for speed and I got to putt putt around behind the speedsters looking for dolphins which we did see! Resonable pricing, friendly service, couldnt ask for more. They also rent paddleboards, kayaks, and boats. You should definitely check this place out!!!

As a local, I was looking for some outdoor activity after weeks of isolation. I rented two kayaks online for my husband and I one Sunday afternoon. I did everything easily online, including signing waivers, so when we got there it took 5 minutes and we were getting in our boats and off we went.Everyone was really nice and helpful.I didnt know until we got there that they have some drinks for sale, and if youre getting one of the bigger boats you can rent coolers too!Theres an option to get a day pass for a cute little pool right on site, for maybe younger kids or family who arent up for paddling.

Had a nice selection of rental gear from stand up paddle boards (SUP), kayaks, Craig cat electric boats , and up to pontoon boats. My daughter wanted try a SUP, but it was fairly windy, I rented a craig cat (2 person tiny boat) and got set up to tow her back downwind (I am an experienced boater), so both of us had a good time.
