Canoe Country Outfitters 6493 54th Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709

"Bought 2 Hurricane Kayaks a couple of summers ago, love the kayaks and the staff at Canoe Country Outfitters are the best. Even 2 years later they are there to help! Great business to work with."

"Scott has been so helpful to us, from our initial purchase of two kayaks during the pandemic when it was extremely hard to get any, to help with a two kayak trailer later on as we were having trouble lifting them in a pickup to totally replacing one of our kayaks that cracked at no charge, plus Scott handled all the paperwork. What a great business and amazing customer service!"

"Just bought my third kayak from Scotty and the great people at Canoe Country Outfitters. For the last 20 years they have always, consistently shown me the best in caring about their customers having the best experience on the water as well as in their store. From knowledge about their products, to local paddling hot spots, even installing things like a hatch on my last yak, they know their stuff! They aren't going to sell you just any boat to make a sale like most dealers. They want to sell you YOUR boat. Unique to you and set up just the way you want it. They will always get nothing but my highest recommendation!"

"My friend Barry encouraged me to include canoe country in my hunt for a light kayak that could fit in my tiny scion xb. I listened because Barry has been around boats all his life and knows what he is talking about. They had so many kayaks! Brandon helped me, including doing some problem solving around getting the boat into the car by myself and strapping it in - a big challenge since I can barely tie my shoes. He took care of other customers during all this, while keeping up with what I wanted to look at and try. He was able to talk about pros and cons of different models. He showed me a much cheaper boat without my asking. I came away after a short visit with great information, a boat model that will work for me ( I plan to go back when the winds aren’t so high! ) and even information about how to sell my heavy 12 foot Tarpon there on consignment, or some cool places to donate it if I want to go that route. Although my expertise with kayaks is very limited he was able to share all the information I wanted without seeming to talk down to me. Gracious, professional, helpful and efficient. They know their stuff and seem to be fixtures in the local boating world. I saw amazing boats at all ends of the kayak spectrum there! Barry tells me they have 700 boats! There was no pressure, just great help! All this at the peak of “season”! This was a great experience!!"

"We popped in today to look for a tandem kayak and had THE BEST experience! Brandon was incredibly helpful with educating us and helping us find the perfect kayak to meet our needs. He hooked us up with everything we need. We cannot say better things about this place! Great service, great price, great quality. Shop local!"
