SURFit USA is a Sarasota, Florida-based outdoor paddle company that offers guided kayaking and stand up paddleboard (SUP) experiences along the Gulf Coast.
The company leads a Mangroves and Secret Beach Kayak Tour that navigates mangrove tunnels, visits the Jim Neville Marine Preserve, and reaches a secluded Turtle Beach accessible only by boat. SURFit USA also offers Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga classes conducted on stable boards in a calm ocean cove, blending traditional yoga asanas with the balance challenges of SUP. For wildlife-focused outings, the Manatee and Dolphin Bay Tour explores shallow channels, mangrove islands, and Sarasota Bay scenery near Lido Key, Longboat Key, and downtown Sarasota.
Each offering highlights local marine habitats and the region’s coastal scenery. Trips provide opportunities to swim, observe wildlife such as manatees and dolphins, and enjoy quiet beaches away from crowds. SURFit USA operates from Sarasota, making it convenient for visitors staying along the Gulf Coast to join short paddles with focused themes: mangrove ecology, yoga on water, or wildlife viewing.
The business appears on The Adventure Collective, which features curated outdoor experiences. Information about trip routes, access points, and what to expect is presented in trip summaries, allowing prospective guests to choose the paddle experience that matches their interests. SURFit USA’s public descriptions emphasize nature immersion, calm coastal conditions, and direct access to protected areas like the Jim Neville Marine Preserve. These factual details support confident booking decisions for paddlers seeking guided kayak or SUP experiences in Sarasota. Trip information is suitable for planning outdoor activities safely.
