See You at the Dock

Kayaks and paddleboards available for members

Shut off the engine, furl the sails, and glide over Naples Bay on one of the NYC’s kayaks or paddleboards, available for member use, free of charge. Paddle around mangrove islands, see manatees, dolphins, and wading birds, and observe monkeys at the Naples Zoo’s primate islands. The 12-foot kayaks can accommodate a lunch-size cooler, and lifejackets are available. They can be checked out for a full day of excursions to the Gordon River, Baker Park, or the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. Just remember to bring your sunscreen, plenty of drinking water, and a camera to document your most interesting sightings. Contact the Dockmaster’s office to arrange your kayak or paddleboard experience.
