Welcome to Kayak Amelia!

Kayak Rentals Jacksonville / Amelia Island area

Important changes coming to Kayak Amelia services effective January 1, 2024.
We will only be offering guided kayak tours. Reservations can be made from the website or call 904-251-0016.


The Talbot Island location (rentals & self launches) will be closed until the State Park completes the contract process. We’re keeping our fingers crossed and working hard to snag that new contract, so we can roll out some fresh, exciting services.
Our team’s been on a mission since 2002, to share the awe-inspiring beauty of the salt marsh ecosystem with guests both near and far. We bet our paddles that nothing beats experiencing the salt marsh up close and personal! We can’t wait to share more magical moments with you!
