Today, my grandson and I enjoyed going out with Sam as our guide. She knows the area well and makes it fun and interesting. If you want a fun morning with friends or family, make this outing a must. You'll enjoy the beautiful water and friendly staff.

Great experience kayaking from the Getaway! Special thanks to Sam and the owner who were able to get me out on the water an hour early.

My family went out for nice day of paddle boarding and kayaking. This company had a beginning 101 class that was slow and VERY expensive. We didn't need it. My kids could have done it easily without a lesson and my wife stood up in a second.I can not recommend it.On top of that, during the class, the wind kicked up and it was so bad, we all got out of the water within 30 minutes. No refund, no apology for taking us out in this type of wind, when they knew better. The owner had no business sense to Not give us back some $. I had paid for our entire group and it was a wash.I run a business myself, and part of that is keeping the customer happy. Not this company...it is all friendly until you discuss a refund.Choose another SUP/KAYAK company. There are many, maybe even at the beach!

I rented a SUP for an hour - it was easy and fun to rent my board there! I got to see dolphins, a blue heron flew right by me, and several snowy egrets were perched and so beautiful. It was a calm and safe cove for me to go explore alone.

I’m pretty new to standup paddle boarding so I thought I would take the SUP 101 class. It seemed easy to sign up and cost less if you BYOB (bring your own board), but I think that was a bad idea as I didn’t get as much help as the ones who rented a board, probably my first mistake. In their defense I don’t catch on as fast as others but to leave someone behind seemed a little harsh. The instructor gave us pretty detailed instructions at the beginning and I even asked him if someone falls off their board will you come back, he said yes. That did not happen. In fact, no one checked on me after I was rescued by 3 random strangers either. After the group went so far ahead of me (I’m a slow poke) I decided to head back alone and eventually fell off my board. I struggled to get back on and so started to swim to the closest shoreline. I hugged a pole off a broken dock until a random paddler came to help me. Luckily after her a couple of guys on a boat also came to help me. They all got my board onto the boat and the two boater dudes brought me back to where I originally launched. The other instructor saw me get off the boat, didn’t ask if I was okay or even acknowledged I was there. He just stared at me like I was some weird person…I realized then that I had a few cuts on my hand, cut and bruised knee and a few bruises and cuts on my arm, so a little beat up. That’s probably part of it though. I thanked everyone else for helping me and took my soakin wet self back to my car. I packed up my board and hoped someone would say glad you’re okay or something, but nope…I was left behind like a dead fish. If you’re like me and don’t pick up on things as fast as others then maybe go it alone or have a friend who knows what they are doing take you out for free. I’m sure this class worked out well for everyone else but just know if you’re slow then they will leave you behind. If you fall on top of that you’re probably going to be on your own. I think it would have made a difference in my day for one if they noticed and two if someone would have just asked if I was okay. Luckily I am, just wanted to warn those who are slow to learn like me.
