Love, Love, Love this shop! Ryan does such a professional job...we've been going for 15 years or so. Ryan always keep's his word for repairs, parts, installs! We bought our 2 Thule Hulivator's about 5 years ago and he just changed out the mounts for us to fit a 2024 Tahoe vs a 2019 Tahoe! Ready to go in less than a week!! Shop has EVERYTHING you could possibly need to begin your Kayaking Adventures! Check this business out!! It's a beautiful shop! Reasonable Prices

Had previously stopped by the store on the way down from Tampa and was impressed with Ryan and Tony's welcoming approach. The store is super well stocked and they have a repair shop on site. A few days later, we brought in an old, malfunctioning kayak pedal drive for diagnosis. Tony immediately recognized the problem and fixed it while we went for lunch. This got us back in the water quickly and saved us from making a second multi-hour car trip. It is so good to come across service-oriented people who enjoy their craft after having visited other "outfitters" in Naples that barely take the time to attend to you.

We rented 2 kayaks with drop-off service at Oscar Sherer Park, on a Sunday. They communicated well, even during closed hours, by email, text, and calls. They were on time and friendly. The equipment was well maintained and they took the time to make sure everyone was adjusted and comfortable. We had a great time with no complaints. They also gave solid advice about local conditions and what route would be best in the conditions and weather of the day. Well done !!

The store was easy to find, the staff at the store was very friendly and gave me good advise answering all my questions, I went looking for a new inflatable paddle board not really knowing where to start from.

Aparently my wife's Pelican Kayak and my Lifetime kayak was not up to their standards and acted as if I wasn't good enough to purchase accessories from their store.

Jeff was SUCH an AMAZING teacher! All my friends told me I would be in the water more than I would be on the paddleboard. I was out on the water for almost 2 hours...NEVER fell ONCE!!! Jeff was so good at teaching a newbie how to paddleboard. He instantly put me at ease and just made the whole experience easy and fun! I absolutely loved it! Highly recommend him and the experience!!!

I highly recommend renting sea kayaks from Silent Sports to paddle at Oscar Scherer State Park South Creek. They have equipment in excellent condition and have two time slots per day. On Nov 17 my husband and I rented an afternoon booking at 1:00 to explore South Creek and out to Intercostal waterway. They delivered two nice sit on top kayaks which were sized for myself 5’4” and husband 6’ tall. We have paddled up South Creek annually to enjoy the rustic scenery in the campground. On this day the tide was low so we decided to paddle out and explore the neighborhoods on canal waterways. I have rented probably a half dozen times from Silent Sports and will rent from them again.

Recently, my family of six went out for a kayaking trip at Evie's Spanish Point. Jeff Gillette was waiting for us with our kayaks, and also waiting when we returned. The equipment was in perfect condition. We saw many manatees and had a great day. So great that we have scheduled to go again with friends.Thank you!

Nokomis store manager Tony helped me resolve a roof rack installation issue, on a system originally installed elsewhere. He was gracious with his time (that time being spent at my car, on the blazing hot asphalt parking lot), he took care of the issue, then showed me how it all works and how to manage it myself. His attitude was all about getting me on the water with my boat. He did not stop at merely resolving the issue, he went on to make me feel confident using the equipment. We've rented kayaks from the Nokomis Silent Sports Outfitters on several occasions, and taken a few guided tours with them, and loved it all so much that we ultimately purchased boats. The store is well stocked, Tony has a deep knowledge of everything you could want or need related to kayaks or SUPs, and generously shares local knowledge of the area waters. If you are looking for good information, quality people, a fun day renting boats, or buying one yourself, this is the place to go. Thanks Tony for getting my day started "on the right track"!

I bought 2 Hoodoo Impulse 105 Fin Drive Kayaks on 19 April, 2022. I spoke with Tony on 20 April, 2022 to let him know we did not get side handles for one and the fin drives are popping out when we use them. He advised me that he was texting his cousin at Hoodoo in TX and would get the side handles and latches sent out. I followed up last week, early May, and was told that everything was being handled. Here we are, 3 weeks later, and we still cannot use the kayaks we paid almost $3000 for other than to paddle them. No one at Hoodoo answers the phone. BBB is the next call on my list.

Although I didn't buy anything today, the staff was very knowledgeable and polite. Prices appeared comparable to industry standard. Only reason for four stars is the selection although nice was limited. I'm sure I'll be back soon to purchase.

So excited to use our new kayaks. The salesman was awesome with helping us pick the right kayaks, paddle and all accessories we need. My husband is 6.5’ and they had the perfect fit for him. He showed us how to secure it on our SUV as well.

I recently purchased a fishing kayak from Silent Sports Outfitters. I was very impressed with their knowledge, honesty and service. Ryan, owner, and Tony, manager, were extremely helpful. Highly recommend Silent Sports Outfitters for your kayak purchase. Great people/service.
