About Melges Watersports Center
Melges Watersports Center is a watercraft rental business located on Merritt Island, Florida, offering direct access to local coastal waterways and natural habitats. The center provides two primary self-guided experiences: single-person kayak rentals and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals. Both options let visitors explore Merritt Island’s calm inlets, mangrove-lined channels, and coastal ecosystems at their own pace.
Kayak Rentals feature single-person kayaks suited for paddlers seeking a quiet, low-impact way to observe wildlife and shoreline scenery.

Each rental experience emphasizes outdoor exploration, wildlife viewing, and personal enjoyment of Merritt Island’s waterways.
Melges Watersports Center’s offering is focused on equipment rental and access to local waterways rather than guided tours. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring sunscreen, water, and appropriate clothing. Reservations are suggested in trip descriptions and may help secure preferred dates and times.
