Robinhood Rentals Kayak Rental Anna Maria Island: Prices, Rental Options & What to Know
Contact Info

The Short Answer
Robinhood Rentals rents single and double kayaks in the city of Anna Maria, on the north end of Anna Maria Island. Singles start around $39, rentals run from a half day up to a full week, and paddles and life jackets are included.
If you’d rather explore on your own schedule than join a guided tour, a kayak rental is the way to do it. The calm bayside water around the north end of the island is beginner-friendly, and you can paddle out to look for dolphins, manatees and birds.
Why It’s a Good Pick
- Flexible rental lengths. Choose a half day, full day, or multi-day and weekly rentals if you want a kayak for your whole stay.
- Gear included. Paddles and life jackets come with the rental.
- Easy logistics. Free parking at the shop on Gulf Drive in Anna Maria.
Heads Up
This one is newer on Viator, so there are only a handful of reviews so far. That’s not a red flag, just less to go on than the big-name tours. Also note the renter has to be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license.
