Sunrise City Adventures is a paddle-sports outfitter based in Fort Pierce, Florida, operating at Fort Pierce Inlet State Park. The business offers four trip formats: Full Day Rental (6–8 hours with all necessary equipment provided), Four Hour Rental (4 hours with paddling equipment provided), Two Hour Rental (a guided paddle adventure suitable for all skill levels), and Self Vessel Launch (launch a personal canoe, kayak, or SUP to explore independently). Each trip specifies duration and vessel arrangements, giving visitors clear options for short excursions or full-day outings.
Equipment for rental trips is organized on-site so guests can arrive and launch without preparing their own gear. The Full Day and Four Hour rentals explicitly include paddling equipment. The Self Vessel Launch option allows experienced paddlers to bring private vessels and launch from the same state park access points. The Two Hour guided offering provides an introduction to local waterways in a shorter format that suits families and new paddlers.
Sunrise City Adventures communicates factual trip details such as durations, launch location, and presence or absence of provided equipment. Reservations schedule launch times and help manage capacity at Fort Pierce Inlet State Park. The business targets visitors seeking kayak rentals, paddleboard outings, and guided paddles in Fort Pierce without making claims beyond listed trip summaries.
