If you're using our delivery service, please be ready 15 minutes before your drop-off and pick-up times. For paddlers entering Everglades National Park and the 10,000 island area, you will park at and launch from the Everglades Rod & Gun Club. The Everglades Rod & Gun Club charges $20 per day per vehicle for parking, which is not included with your boat rental. After you park, please go inside and pay. All other other locations must be booked in advance by Everglades Adventures staff.

Rentals ending at Everglades Rod & Gun Club must be returned by 5:00 pm. Rentals ending at Turner River or Seagrape will be picked up by 4:30pm. All overnight rentals must be returned to Everglades Rod & Gun Club by 4:00 pm (3:00 pm if returning to Flamingo). If late, additional charges will apply.

To secure a boat rental reservation, you will need to choose your destination(s) and obtain any necessary permits. Permits, if required, are necessary to complete your paperwork, which must be completed prior to any boats being delivered. Both Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve require permits. We provide permits for Big Cypress National Preserve locations. National Park permits can be obtained at the Flamingo or Gulf Coast Visitor Centers the day before or the morning of your trip.
