Reviews of Canoe Country Outfitters
Callie King
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!
Robin Farrand
This place is why you buy from small shops! I got a roof rack for my son a couple years ago and it recently started cracking around the coating on the roof bars. With no hesitation they communicated with the company and worked out a replacement with no cost! If I had gotten this at a big box store it would have been up to me to track down the serial numbers etc and it probably would have been very difficult and taken forever. They got it done right and in no time!
Jamie Elyse
Highly recommend this small business! The prices were reasonable and the guys working were very kind and helpful. They had a great selection of kayaks based on your needs.
Kim Costello
SCOTT was amazing! He had everything prepared for us so that we were all ready for our upcoming adventures. We have bought several canoes and kayaks through them and they are the BEST!
Woody Miller
I think this may be the craziest review I have ever written. I have been a customer since they were located just behind Pinellas Square Mall well before the store on 58th Ave N., it's current location. Over the years I have purchased many boats from Mike and his son Scott. Recently I had mentioned to Scott that I was looking for a used Wilderness System Commander 140. I had bought two from him many years ago. This boat has been out of production for many years, so the chances were slim to none. He offered to keep an eye out for one for me. I figured that it would be a longshot at best but hope springs eternal as they say. Low and behold he called me this past week and said that he had seen one on a online for sale website.
A search found the boat and I called the owner who said it was still for sale and she thought that she may know me. I arranged to go by and see the boat and when I got there I realized that the boat that was for sale was the boat I had sold her husband a number of years ago. It was in good shape and it is now home again. The gist of this review is that there are very few business owners who would go that extra mile like Scott and Canoe Country Outfitters. Stop by and tell them Woody sent you

Bought a new Ocean Kayak Malibu Two from here. These specific kayaks have been flying off the shelves everywhere local. Called Canoe Country Outfitters and was told the exact day they were receiving a shipment and they took my name/number down and advised they would call me once received. That day came, the kayaks were in and I was able to submit my purchase over the phone and they held it until I could pick it up. My husband went the next day to pick it up and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Showed my husband how to load the kayak into the truck bed and tie it down. Overall great experience with this place. Very happy with my purchase and I will continue to come here for my kayaking needs!
Erich Allen
Great locally owned shop with a great crew of employees. Awesome selection of boats and accessories. Favorite shop to go buy kayaks and supplies

Have you ever wanted to buy a kayak and was torn between a couple different brands? Have you ever wanted someone who would take the time to answer questions you cannot find online or just want to see real time in person? I did and that brought me here.
What I thought would be a quick in and out experience while I went to a couple other stores to talk to others about the couple brands not offered here, quickly turned into a long conversation about "what ifs" and "what abouts?"
Thankfully Tom is an amazing"salesman." He never tried to push the sale and answered all of my questions. He took the time to ensure I had the information I needed and offered to let me take a demo before I buy.
So I left with more ideas and things to look at on YouTube, hoping I was making the right call. I returned to take the demo and see what I thought. What I didn't expect was to walk out with my new kayak, it's accessories and a smile as big as the time I bought my first kayak.
Tom and the young man (sorry I forgot your name bud) handled my questions and excitement like pros and I was excited to buy accessories from them versus online to show my appreciation for everything they went though to set me up in my new ride.
Once the transaction was complete, the service did not end. They helped me load everything up and are going to look into a couple other things for me down the road. Great job, great experience and great feeling walking out.
Thank you both! See you soon!

This place is fantastic. Scotty was super helpful. Called in the mooring and they held the boat until I could pick it up. My wife is new to the sport and I don't know anything about it, Scotty got us all set up with a paddle, and straps for the car. I was out of there in 15 minutes. We'll be getting all our kayaking stuff at Canoe Country.
Microwaved Grape
Just recently purchased an Old Town kayak from Canoe Country Outfitters and the service was great. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Family owned father and son both helped me with everything I needed. Highly recommend getting a kayak (life changing!)
Nikki Leonard
Very knowledgeable & great group of people!
They've got everything you need to get out on the water!! And repairs also.
Bought 2 & they're all ready for some Lake time!!
Excellent customer service!!
Stephen Wostal
This is a belated review that we've been meaning to log for a few months now... thought we would come back and make sure we got this in as this was a great experience for us.
We purchased our Yakima Rock'n'Roll kayak trailer from the guys at Canoe Country Outfitters a few months ago, and it was such an amazing experience. We had a hard time finding this trailer but we lucked out and the guys here had one / held it for us as we couldn't come get it for a bit. We thought this was nice because they very easily could've just sold it to the next caller. (All other shops we called had a 6mo+ waiting list.)
While this trailer is in crazy high demand, they kept the price very low instead of trying to gouge us for a few extra pennies. When we got there the trailer was already assembled and tested, ready to tow home. We got a nice walkthrough and some useful tips we might not have picked up on had we purchased this via an online-only retailer. They also packed up everything we needed to get it registered and promptly mailed us the remaining paperwork that they couldn't prepare onsite during our visit.
While we were there we got a look at the shop and - we will be buying our next kayak here for sure, selection was fantastic.
Thanks again for the great trailer! We have used it numerous times and couldn't be happier.
AyoLane Halusky
As an ACA L2 Kayak instructor, I’d recommend this store for any professional and recreational kayak and accessories. Lots of nice gear to choose from and the owner was amazing and helpful. They had the kayak I was looking for and was a wealth of knowledge. It was worth the drive from St Augustine and I will be back.
Renee Smith
I have bought 2 kayaks from them. Getting ready to buy another one for family. The staff is great. It looks small but they have ALOT of kayaks. I would really recommend them.
JOHN JONES
GR8 SHOP!!! Large variety of canoes and kayaks. Nice shop also on site to do mods. Will look up stuff they might not have and order it for you. I was able look at and also purchased a rudder for my Bonifide SS107. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Cathy Hogan
Scott and Tom were beyond amazing every step of the way in the purchase process of my new Thule racks and my beautiful NEW WILDERNESS PUNGO! Worth every minute of my 2 hour drive there and back!!
terri gilbeau
Canoe Country Outfitters provided some of the best customer service we’ve experienced, period. We were visiting the area from out of state, planning to purchase kayaks and return to NC. Scotty provided personalized service, ensured we were well prepared to travel distance and enjoy our maiden voyage like a local-with insider tips regarding best put ins in the area. His friendly, knowledgable approach to our gazillions of questions make it hard to imagine going elsewhere for outdoor sporting needs. We left Canoe Country Outfitters feeling like we had made a new friend, one who even called later that day to ensure the voyage had gone well and we were still pleased with our purchases. (Which was an absolutely x2) Canoe Country Outfitters=Awesome experience all around-check them out! You will not be disappointed. Thanks Scotty!!
Brian Stauffer
Purchased 3 Bonafides in February. Friendly courteous knowledgeable. definitely recommend CCO to anyone interested in a kayak, canoe. They have a well stocked inventory . Pleasurable Experience.
Peter Klinkenberg
I've purchased 2 Kayaks here, and consider it my go to shop. They have a decent selection and offer some nice deals, particularly the fishing kayaks. Wasn't super pleased with the rooftop kayak rack they selected for me (very noisy), but still a great place to go and get accessories and new boats.
Marla Cushing
Another great experience at Canoe Country Outfitters. They fixed a crack in my kayak with proficiency, expertise and care. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for all your canoe & kayak needs.
Brian Brakebill
Wow. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Tom was fantastic in helping me find what I needed both for being on the water and hauling my new hurricane kayak on the car. I can't remember when I've been treated better at a store. Great selection, fair and competitive prices, staff (owner) who know their business and have a passion for helping...you can't go wrong here.
Jennifer Resta
I can’t say enough about this place and especially Scotty!! I had been searching for a particular kayak that has become a bit hard to find since the pandemic. I found CCO online and not only did they have my kayaks but shipped them to VA for me. Easy peasy! And Scotty endured numerous phone calls from me regarding the kayaks, shipping and paddles which they very kindly upgraded as an anniversary present! For customer service they really can’t be beat!
Jen H
Scott and Brandon are amazing! I went to many different stores looking at what kayaks were out there, Scott did an amazing job answering all of my questions and pointing me in the right direction, he even hooked me up with someone who would let me test out the kayak before purchasing! After finally deciding on 2 kayaks, Scott & Brandon set it all up on my car and Brandon spent the extra time showing me how to tie them down correctly and answering all of my questions. Their accessories are even the same price as amazon, so I will definitely support the small business vs ordering from amazon next time I need something! I highly recommend Canoe Country Outfitters and will not shop anywhere else for my kayak!
Sharon Stevens
Just bought a new Bonafide ss 127 Kayak for hubby for Christmas. Brandon was so helpful with the million questions. So much to see there and learn about an exciting sport to enjoy in amazing Fl. Thanks for the help!
Adam Powell
These guys are awesome. Had a fully stocked store and went above and beyond to help me with my kayak purchase. Thank you!!!
john day
The only legitimate game in the region. The wealth and scope of knowledge from these two Brothers is impressive . In addition, my personal experience with Scotty was beyond excellent. He went above and beyond to get me what I needed, with expert advice and a smiling positive attitude to boot !
Joe Ashton
I selected Canoe Country Outfitters as they had all the different model kayaks I was considering. On their recommendation, I bought a Wilderness Tarpon 120 on April 10 of this year. Two weeks later I injured my right shoulder. I found out a month later I had sprained it and it could take up to a year to heal. Definitely bummed me out as I had not taken out my new kayak even once. It had been exactly two months since my purchase when called up Canoe County and asked if they would consider taking back my kayak. Without hesitation, they agreed to do so minus a restocking fee which I expected. Since I can't lift with my shoulder I didn't have a way to bring the kayak back and asked if they could pick it up. Again, they gladly agreed to do so. These guys are great and I highly recommend them for their kayak selection, knowledge and great service. When my shoulder is better, I'll be back to buy again from them again.
moe lam
Very knowledgeable and friendly staffs. they have most of the items I'm looking for. They go above and beyond to help you find your gears.
James Richardson
Worth the drive no matter where you reside. Their name says it all. Scott and his team are fantastic. They made us feel comfortable in their shop and shared their knowledge and experiences to assist us purchase the best kayak for our needs. Fantastic selection of kayaks, canoes and essential ancillary supplies while the other shops offer only a bare bones selection. One stop shop that services what they sell. They even deal with the manufacturer on your behalf. We highly recommend this organization without reservation. Jim and Maria

We have been looking all over the USA for the exact kayaks we want. After many hours of searching, no one had the ones we were looking for near our home outside of Seattle, on the Puget Sound. After hours of internet investigation, we stumbled across Canoe Country Outfitters, in St. Petersburg, FL. - they has just the kayaks we had our hearts set on! Talking to Scotty, the owner, he couldn’t have been more helpful.
I have never come across anyone more personable, and willing to go the extra mile.He called several places that ship, compared costs, called us more than once with options, and even put two of his on hold until we decided what to do.
Wherever you live, and if you are lucky enough to live near St. Petersburg, don’t hesitate to do business with Canoe Country Outfitters!

If you have been looking for a moderately priced good quality kayak, chances are you have found them out of stock everywhere due to the pandemic. I am in Tallahassee and there was nothing to be found locally or within a couple hours drive. We needed two kayaks, but I literally found ONE of the popular brand and style we wanted online, everything else was backordered for months. We expanded our search and found Canoe Country Outfitters. I was floored when they not only had the kayak we wanted, but in a variety of colors to choose from. They offered to hold our selection for us while I drove down, and 5 hours later they tied two beautiful kayaks to my roof rack with practiced efficiency.
Thank you Canoe Country Outfitters for being smart enough to order extra inventory this year! You made our summer!
Ken Pangborn
Awesome place...bought our life--long dream canoe (Wenonah Kevlar, with black pearl paddles). Guys were great in answering questions and shared their knowledge appropriately. Prices are more than fair and selection of products good. Recommend this outfitter!
Dayana
They we're very friendly people! Me and my dad went to go buy a kayak for two, and they gave us alot of help. It's our first time kayaking,and they gave us everything we needed in order to be safe and have fun ☺. I highly recommend this store because of the low prices and lovely service!
Bryan Myers
Great place to buy a kayak. Nice people and very helpful.
Brian Stinson
I'd like to tell you about my experience with Canoe Country Outfitters. I've known for a while now what I wanted to buy, but until now I had never even been kayaking. I did my homework for the last year and decided on the bonafide SS127. I want to do some serious fishing. When I called, Brandon answered and told me he had it in stock so I drove on down. It was absolutely the best customer service experience I've had. You should see the inside of this place. Talk about one stop shop. They literally have everything you want to go out on the water with. And Brandon is the man! He knows his business. Thanks again man! I love my new kayak and I will definitely be back.
David Gibson
I was the shop just yesterday looking over the kayaks and canoes,still amazed at their selection and knowledge of each style offered. I bought my ocean kayak from here when they first opened and I've never been disappointed!
David George
We did months of research finding a kayak and we called canoe country outfitters and they were kind enough to order 2 old town pdl 120's for us. They explain it would take about about 2 months for it to come in. They called us us in 6 weeks and said it was in and we could come pick it up. We also bought a Yakima rack and roll trailer. We we arrived the kayaks were already strapped on the trailer and ready to go.
Now that is service at it's finest. Scott and Brandon are awesome. Scott is has ordered us a cart to haul our kayaks from trailer to the water along with shipping us us a kickstand for the trailer as a courtesy that usually is not included. Excellent customer service.

Very good place to go if you want a new kayak or parts for the kayak that you have and also they have kayaks that you can run out to see if you like kayaking and there's so many places in St Petersburg to kayak he also has information on places you can go as beginners or experienced or very experienced
Caerus
I would highly recommend Canoe Country Outfitters - you will not be disappointed! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly while remaining modest and polite. This store has fantastic array of products for the experienced paddler or someone new to or interested in any aspect of the sport; and as an example, I was surprised to see replacement thwarts, yokes and seats right on the shelf. Not just a canoe store, but a great selection of kayaks and accessories; even Yamaha outboard engines. I'll be dropping by again soon when I'm back in the area visiting friends, though, it's well worth the four hour roundtrip if I need to pick up another boat...good luck!
RICHARD ELY
Great guys, they are always helpful from a small part to a large purchase. They offer great tips for local kayaking. My favorite kayak store. Also, the tunes are always great.
Jessica Blake
My husband and I almost bought a kayak at Dicks sporting goods when someone stopped us and told us we needed to go to this store to get quality kayaks at a decent price. We left Dicks and went here, and boy were we glad! they were very helpful and knowledgeable. The whole process was super easy, and we know we got quality equipment!
Mike Landry
My wife and I purchased two skimmer kayaks and the personal service and instruction was fantastic. The staff helps you get what you need (not pushing needless upsales), and listens to what fits you best. When we picked up our kayaks the owner installed the rack we purchased on my car then patiently showed my wife and I how to properly tie down the kayaks. I couldn't be happier with my experience here.
Michael Dema
Seasoned paddler here and brought my kayak in for some refurbishing. I particularly needed a new seat. It is an older model and the fellas said they didn't know what they'd be able to do, but they'd try. Well, I just picked it up and it looks awesome! The seat is back to new and it looks great. Price was a bargain too! Definitely check this place out. It is the real deal and it appears to cater to any level of paddling experience. Will definitely go back.
Lydia Runkel
We were so impressed with the knowledge of Scott at Canoe Outfitters. He was amazing. He put us on hurricane skimmers and we found out that we had too much volume for them. He knew which Kayaks to recommend for us and even contacted a competitor to get us one. We are now on the tarpon 120 ultra lights. We love them. They are easy to load on top of our car and are perfect for our life style. We recommend this LOCALLY owned shop. We always try to shop and use local services, it was a pleasure to work with this St Petersburg, Fl gem of a company.
Bonnie Bischoff
I just purchased a current design kayak from Scottie at Canoe Country Outfitters. The store is great. Lots of inventory and the staff is extremely knowledgable in all things kayak. Scottie helped me decide on the kayak that was best for me (many considerations - sit on top, sit in, weight, width, length, material - you get the idea.) Some friends of mine had already purchased from Canoe Country and said they'd never go anywhere else. Now I understand why. Great experience and I'm very happy!
Brittney Vogt
Bought a kayak here. They are so kind and friendly. Really stepped up their game to deliver the best customer service they could. They installed some things for free for us, and it was perfectly done. Will be coming back for a second kayak
CM52377
Scott was very helpful. I told him what I liked about several different kayaks and he pointed out the one he thought I'd like. He was spot on! I took it for a paddle and had to have it. They even put in an assist strap for me. Best customer service experience I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.
Michael Bitler
Want to talk about a great shop? Look no further. I rescue seabirds and have been looking to invest in another kayak. I was surprised with the wide selection of Kayaks, canoes, powered, outboards, paddles, electric bikes, PFD's, accessories, and roof racks. They have it all. Even the tow behind trailers and dollies. Sunglasses, repairs, advice, they have it all. One stop shop.
Today I ended up with a new PFD, SUP paddle, Kayak feathered paddle, 2 lanyards, a fly fishing backpack, two mesh bags for gear or seabirds while I am out, and a couple cool stickers. I need to figure out my budget for the new Kayak and as I was discussing that with them. They offered top some other financial options. Killer.
If you are looking for the best. Come in and have your mind blown!!!
Jackie Heim
We had a mis-step with a purchase in December and without hesitation Scottie made it right!! He stands by his product, and offers excellent customer service because this business has been in his family for 40+ years! We wish him continued success! Good people!!

LOVE THIS STORE
Purchased a Perception Prodigy 12 from Scott. I highly recommend his store. They have a huge inventory of kayaks and their prices are remarkable. They also have lots of accessories avialible. Scott and his staff are very friendly and full of knowledge. This store is 90 miles away from my house and well worth the drive. Actually planning a camping trip in the area later this fall and know we will contact Scott for paddling recommendations. Thank you Scott and staff for a great store and service.
Red Hot Tiki (Red Hot Tiki)
The best customer service! Was told how to easily repair kayak hatch myself. Got a sweet deal on a used carbon fiber oar and ordered a roof rack.
T “Nature Lover” E
I could not believe my luck at finding great kayaks here and at such a good price! I live in Clearwater and could not find any others, readily available. Two very nice looking Perception Swifty kayaks, a rack, a paddle, and other accessories- 1100. If you have been shopping around, you will see this is a great deal.
The two gentleman running the store also set up our car rack, and secured the kayaks. In addition to a great retail experience, we also love the comfort and room these kayaks have provided. We have not only kayaked some canals since purchasing, we have also done Bellaire beach through a bay, to an island. We never felt unsafe for a minute!
Thanks again Canoe Country Outfitters for a great experience!

5 stars isn't a high enough rating for this place. They were highly recommended to me by two couples who each bought their pair of kayaks from them. They're quite a bit farther than some other options but I was told it would be worth it and they were right. So, here's my experience...2 weeks ago, after 3 years of contemplation, we went down to buy one kayak but left with two kayaks, 2 sets of paddles, a life vest, some accessories, straps, and a roof system for a very good price. We went in close to closing time but Scotty, the owner, and Brandon stayed late and helped us make the perfect purchase, answered our endless questions, showed us how to install the roof system, and showed us how to tie down our new kayaks. Given the state of the world today and the isolation we are feeling from social distancing, this was a very happy and joyful experience for us. Fast forward the next day, we proudly took our new kayaks out to Caladesi Island for the best day we've had in a long time. As we were loading the 2nd kayak onto the car, our friend backed out of his parking spot and pulled his big truck with big tires right into the hull of my new yak!!!! I probably don't have to mention how hard it was for us to not cry. I called Scotty the next day and when I told him what happened I could tell from his voice that his pain was almost as great as ours. He had me send pics, told me how to water test it for cracks or leaks, and told me to bring it back and he would do whatever he could to spruce it up. I brought it down the next week. Apparently (I didn't know this) when a kayak made of the quality material that mine is made of gets dented, it retakes its form when left in the sun. So they gave the yak a good once over to make sure it wasn't compromised, removed the broken and snapped hardware, left it out in the sun to be sure it would retake its form (it did), and replaced the track. 3 days later they loaded it up for me to take home. Not only was their customer service amazing pre and during sale, but they really helped keep me sane, hooked me up, and took care of me post sale. I'm so glad we drove the extra miles to buy our kayaks here and appreciate Scotty, Brandon, and Tom tremendously!
Anne Marie Schachte
Purchased our Gheenoe plus 2 electric bikes here and stellar customer service. Super cool shop! Support your local businesses!

Very welcoming. Honest staff. Great prices. Scottie, was very experienced and informative. Reasonable prices for delivery. Love this store, support small businesses.
MP Aquatics
Excellent service they have very competitive priceing. Also very knowledgeable and friendly staff happy to assist you in finding the right vessel and equipment for your needs.
They have a kayak/canoe/sup for almost every pricepoint I recommend going here before you go to a big box store and spend more money on a lower quality kayak.
Cheryl Ruckdeschel
Best place to buy kayaks and gear. Staff is very knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure that your happy with your purchase. Scott is who I worked with and when I was not happy with my first choice, no problem he cared more about me being a very satisfied customer than money. Thanks
Arch Lincoln
What a great place for kayaks, SUPs and other watercraft. I just purchased a great preowned tandem kayak at a great price. I can’t wait to put it on the water. Their staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed for a fun and safe time on the water.
Stanley Tokarski
Dealt with Scotty, the owner. Bought a 2019 Wilderness Systems Pungo 105 from him. You couldn't deal with a nicer, more genuine person. He is the real deal. He offers the help when needed, answers yours questions and just lets you browse if you want to without 'hovering' about. NO high pressure sales here! (I hate that). This store has the largest selection and variety of canoes and kayaks plus accessories I have seen in any area. I have been looking to buy a kayak and been researching them for 6 months, so I have been in plenty of stores in many states. I full time RV and travel alot. Trust me when I say that you will enjoy your shopping experience here.
Drew Lindow
Came in looking to purchase a kayak for fishing. From the second I walked in, Jeremy and Scotty took care of everything I needed and every question I had. They were extremely helpful and sold me exactly what I needed, not what cost the most. You could tell this is a family business who loves what they do and take pride in delivering exceptional customer service.
I purchased a 2012 Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 at a highly reduced price and they converted this to an angler package at their cost. Boat was ready within 12 hours of my purchase and they took the time to fit me for a paddle, vest and even mounted the kayak on my roof and taught me to strap it down.
I would encourage anyone to buy from them. Prices are fair, service and selection are amazing and you can tell these guys take pride in what they do.

I've been searching up a WS Pungo 125 for months. Checked with this store a couple months ago and got my name on a list. Called again yesterday, and spoke to Tom. He told me there was one in stock and I made a commitment to get there before closing. Upon arrival I met Scott who told me all he had was a 120. Reluctantly, I purchased the 120 and headed out. Literally, 10 minutes later, Scott called me to tell me there actually was a 125 being held for a northern US customer who had finally realized he was unable to buy the boat. Scott stayed late after store closing hours and opened the back of the shop to accommodate the swap of the 120 for the 125 and had all the new paperwork finished when I arrived. He was genuinely concerned that initially I was not as happy as I should be and wanted to change that. His attention to this customer has won Canoe Country a new loyal customer. Thank you Scott! Thank you CCO, Inc.
Freddy Martin
Went looking for a replacement cover for my Wilderness 120 and it was not in stock but they gave me a loaner cover till it does come in. Great people here.
Bob Ball
I purchased my Predator 13 in July 2014 and love it! I wanted a smaller kayak that was much lighter for both recreation and fishing. I went in inquiring about two specific kayaks and came out with a Wilderness Systems Aspire 105. This was not one of the two specific but after talking with Tyler and getting the comparisons, I knew I'd chosen a better option based on my specifics and Tyler's experience. I'm taking my Predator 13 in to have a rudder installed and I fully expect it will be installed as if it were their own kayak. I live in Tampa and quite frankly I'll always shop at Canoe Country Outfitters and will always recommend them! The staff is very knowledgeable, always friendly, willing to listen to your specifics, and fit you with the best possible product! Go to Canoe Country Outfitters and you will not be disappointed!
Daniel Miner
Excellent experience, very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and patient!! We didn't know the first thing about kayaks, Scotty set us up with the perfect pair, and all the correct gear and accessories.
Highly recommend them!
Joscelyn Blumenthal
Tom was extremely helpful advising me which kayak fit our family’s needs. He delivered the kayak the next day and we’re very happy with our purchase and the superior level of customer service at Canoe Country Outfitters.
R J
Contacted them via email. Quick response and phone call follow up. They offer a great selection of canoes, kayaks, other small boats and all the accessories to gear up. They also do kayak repair at a fair price. Very knowledgeable- highly recommend!
Karen Hill
This is a great Kayak outfitter. Huge selection of boats. We were looking for a recreational tandem and purchased the Wilderness Tarpon 135T. Not the cheapest option we were considering, but definitely the most functional. And they did have a great price on the Perception we were considering. There was no up-selling, and no pressure. Scotty was extremely helpful, discussing the different options and even giving us some insider information on local paddling trips.
Paul Phillips
I bought my first Old Town sit-in kayak here 15-18 years ago. Recent visit was in search of a new SOT. The staff is very knowledgeable of their product line. They have a huge variety of canoe and kayak manufacturers to choose from.

Great selection. Scott was so helpful and did not try to sell us what we did not need. He made it such a positive experience and he made us feel so comfortable. Prices are super as well. Definitely the place to go for canoes and kayaks.
Leo Buda
I have honestly NEVER had such a good customer service experience. I came in not knowing what I wanted and I wish I could remember the guys name I believe Gary if I remember correctly was warm and welcoming showed me EVERY option explained the difference, told me what would be the best for me and I walked away with two amazing used kayaks 11ft. Then I needed a rack on my car (just the cross beamd) them put them on for me. Shared some safety information I was thankful to have and then went to to explain if anything goes wrong with any features to come back and I would be taken care of for 5 years. Like I was mind blown how amazing of a time I had and the service they provided. Dont be afraid to ask a question. Thanks for the help today guys!
Sara Faircloth
Scotty helped us buy a Wilderness and a Perception kayak! He was super knowledgeable in helping us find the right kayaks that fit each of our needs. I would recommend that anyone looking to get a kayak should definitely check this place out!!!
Tim Bowers
I was a moron who backed his kayak into a wall and busted the rudder. Don't be a moron and look anywhere else for fast, proficient, and excellent service. Tom was able to plastic weld the kayak and repair the rudder for minimal cost in a day. These guys are outstanding, friendly, and very knowledgeable about their craft. Simply put, this place is awesome!
Monique Everson
Stopped in today to pick up spare parts for our kayaks. LOVED this place. Scott was a true professional - knowledgeable, kind and extremely helpful!!!!!!!!! We are new to the area and will always shop here for all of our kayak supplies!!!!
sarah harkness
TOP NOTCH! Stopped in the store to buy a replacement seat for the Old Town Canoe I wanted to sell. Scotty was extremely helpful in assisting me to price it properly. He was very easy to talk to and genuinely attentive to helping me. I bought the canoe there years ago and will definitely go back when I am in the market for one again.
Edward S.
Thank you so much Tom 💯 it's was nice to meet you! Hype to get to ride it and already riding this bad boy on the road: Yamaha Civante (2020) road bike it's super-fast!!!
Canoe Country Outfitters you're the best service & I highly recommend I'm a very happy customer this is a beauty.👌

I can’t say enough about Scotty and his crew down at Canoe Country Outfitters. Scotty was helpful from the first email I sent to the last phone call I made. I’m sure he got tired of me pressing him on when my boats would get delivered but he handled me like a champ. So when the boats came in we made a trip to St Pete from Augusta, Ga to take delivery. His guys even loaded me up and strapped down the boats in my truck. I was very impressed and very happy with how the whole process went with CCO. These guys are a class act. If you’re looking for kayak I’d say it’s definitely worth the trip to St Petersburg to check them out. Scotty, thanks again brother for all you did for me.
Lawtoncro
They are the best.
I had a problem with my electric kayak and the drive cable. Even though this is not the type of repair they do, the manager and front desk guy fixed a very frustrating problem in 10 minutes.
I have bought 2 new kayaks from them.
I could not fix my cable....was really p.o'd.....and the marine supply place said they are very good at everything. They were right.
Also, they have dozens of kayaks.....everything.
I am grateful for their help.....and highly recommend them.

Robert Cheung
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They carry a rather impressive inventory of kayaks and canoes for a family-owned business. They helped my wife to select a kayak that fits her needs and budget. Very pleasant people to work with.
Kelly Obarski
Scott was helpful, patient, kind and funny. I had a great time there, it felt like I was hanging out and getting help from family. I had a great experience when I had called a month ago and Todd helped me fix my kayak with pick up and delivery service included. I am thrilled to go back again and again!
Diane McCausey
I was shopping for a Hurricane Santee and called to ask some questions. They patiently went through all of my options for a light kayak. I was so impressed, that I put a down payment down over the phone to hold the exact color and style I wanted as I couldnt get there for a couple of days.
Excellent customer service..... they loaded me up (choosing to not use the straps that I brought) and sent me happily on my way.
adam Black
I've rented from here for years. I have my own kayaks but sometimes take family and need more. Look all you want. You cannot rent a kayak for cheaper for 24 hours. It doesn't exist. These guys consistently provide nice kayaks and are spot on with customer service. A few times we even got brand new ones. They strap it on your car or suv for you. I have a Lexus sedan and they safely put one on the roof. They have an amazing inventory and accessories to snag before your trip. This place is the end all be all for kayaking in our area.
Keith Holubec
Canoe Country Outfitters came through in a big way! I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for a couple of Old Town Topwater 120 PDL kayaks in Houston Texas since July 2020 with no luck due to COVID-19 and the increased demand. In a last ditch effort I started looking across the United States to find a boat. Then I called Canoe Country Outfitters in St. Petersburg Florida and hit it big! Scotty was very helpful with confirming inventory of two Topwater 120 PDL kayaks and completing the transaction while Brandon and Tom helped load up the truck. I made the trip back home with no issues. I can’t thank these guys enough for their help and only wish we weren’t a thousand miles apart so I could visit their store on a regular basis.
Mario Hernandez
Just awesome! I called of couple of dealers in Florida and no one was as enthusiastic and knowledgeable as Scotty. So much so that we traveled from Miami to his store in St Pete. Big inventory and a very relaxed experience. Scotty was very honest and made sure I did not spend any extra cash I did not have to. Priceless for me! Called him after the sale to ask a couple of questions and he was just as nice and patient. Again he knows his S____! Nothing better than being treated with attention after the sale. This store rocks!
Joshua Caldwell
Very helpful in assisting me with finding, purchasing, and mounting a tandem kayak onto my vehicle. Great service, and products.
Gregg Mead
Don't let the outside of the building fool you. The selection inside is awesome. I asked for two insignificant parts for a canoe so old it should have been cut up and thrown away but I'm going to rehab it anyway. They had the parts. The salesperson was more knowledgeable than me extremely Pleasant and helpful. I'm very satisfied and as long as I need parts for this dinosaur of a canoe I know where to go.
Heather Penrod (HP)
Will and Scott did a remarkable job of fitting my husband and me with perfect kayaks for our needs. The service is outstanding and the pricing is more than fair! If you're a novice looking for your first fitting or a seasoned pro, Canoe Country is the only place to go! 👍🏼 …
Bradley Jackson
Went in for a kayak cart, left with a brand new kayak! Amazing people, can't recommend this place enough. Only place we shop for our kayak stuff in Pinellas county anymore. Great prices too.
Sharon Reeves
For whatever your needs are... these people are enthusiastic and live to share their knowledge unpretentiously! We purchased everything we needed to canoe from them. Start to finish, we were very happy to say the very least!!! We are forever committed to their honesty and professionalism. Thanks Guys!!!
Taylor VanderWoude
Scotty, was absolutely amazing. He had a great selection of kayaks and paddle boards at great prices. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for and made the entire experience fun! I would recommend this place to everyone!!!
Thomas Sullivan
Me and my wife could not be Any happier with the Sales and Service Scotty and his Crew have given us.
Their price for boats and accessories are very competitive , but it is their service before and after the sale that makes them stand out. Scotty has made numerous special orders for us and keeps us informed as to when we can expect the item and when it has arrived. Also we re residents of North Carolina. Yes, their are kayak dealers in our area, but it is worth the drive to get the customer care we expect .
we have heard that other customers have driven far distances as well, and we can see why.
Thank you Scotty and your team!
Anne McCrary Sullivan
These guys really know the world of kayaks and canoes, racks and gear. Today I drove 160 miles round trip because they knew how to do with my Whispbar racks what nobody closer knew how to do. I first did business with them when I lived in St. Pete, bought a Mad River Canoe. Since I moved away, I have a number of times driven back there for gear or service I couldn't get elsewhere. As a canoeist, I appreciate that in addition to a wide selection of kayaks, they continue to stock canoes and accessories (cane seats, for example). I really appreciate the deep experience of these guys and their ingenuity in problem solving. I expect to keep going back.
Brian Henderson
I became a frequent vistor to this shop over the last couple of years as I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to pull the trigger on a fishing kayak and how much to spend. The staff has always been accomodating and informative (unlike a couple of other local shops). They have gone as far as offering to allow me to "borrow" a kayak to demo at no cost, other than leaving a credit card behind as collateral. They also rent out most of their boats for a per day cost that is very reasonable.
Kathy Dembek
This was the best experience I have ever had purchasing sporting equipment. Way beyond my expectations. There was no high pressure for purchasing and they took the time to explain and demonstrate the options and functionality of their equipment. I of course had many questions and concerns and they did not make me feel like this was a problem. So knowledgeable and professional! I would highly recommend this store. Support local businesses that care about their customers!
Dave Pierson
Great local store with helpful, knowledgeable, experienced guys working there. I pestered them on and off for months before i actually purchased anything, and they always took time to answer my questions so i was comfortable making a purchase. Over that time i also saw them do the same for everyone that came in. I'm happy with the deal I got, and i like supporting smaller local businesses that go out of their way to support their customers, so this is a win-win. I'll definitely be back.
Acct 4 Dedo
We checked out all the other Kayak stores and Canoe Country was the best for sales staff and selection. They blew Bill Jacksons out of the water!
Saturday we bought 2, a 11.5 Wilderness for fishing and and 12ft Wilderness for relaxing. Sunday we were out at Fort DeSoto. - Great Kayaks! Thanks Guys!
Additionally, after we had the fishing kayak and few days we found that fishing kayak was not the right kayak for us and they traded us out to a kayak that meet our needs better.
Mabelita Izquierdo
Super friendly and helpful staff. Had just what we wanted. They made sure to hold our kayak until we got there as we live almost 2 hours away. Definitely recommend them!
tony lai
The best Canoe Kayak shop in the area! They can help you with all your needs from rigging your boats to buying a used or new Kayak. Great guys to work with!
joe hinson
Scotty, Will; Thanks for helping me choose the right canoe. I had been assessing the many options for months but couldn't decide on a particular model. After discussing my expectations and needs with you it became clear on which boat would be best for me. Your generous offer to demo the boat sealed the deal. The long drive to St. Pete was worth every mile. P.S. Thanks too for helping secure my new boat for safe transport back home.
Bonita Siegel
The staff at Canoe Country takes care of their customers. They shipped a kayak to Seattle for us and unfortunately the shippers damaged the boat. Scotty at this store made it right. Highly recommend.
Christopher Oshana
I went to CCO to look specifically at the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL. I went right when they opened and boy do they have a TON of stuff! It's a canone/kayakers dream shop! Well organized, so you can see everything. Scotty helped me. I told him exactly what I wanted (a sub $2000 pedal drive fishing kayak), and was leaning toward the Topwater real hard. He asked me if I heard of a few others, just to see what is there in that price range. It wasn't in a "Let me sell you something else" tone either. I was introduced to a few other that I didn't think were in my price range, but after looking al all of them, I was confident going with my original choice. I'm glad I looked at the others, it just reinforced my original choice and how it was right for me.
Here is the best part: They were running a special promotion, I got $200 of free gear. No limitations (pick from this, but not that...), anything in the store up to $200. That made him competitive even with the online prices I saw.
He helped me put it on my car, showed me the proper way to strap it down, even how to tie a truckers loop knot (which I professed to him I needed to learn how to do to secure loads).
He was very appreciative of my business, much more so than similar outfitters have been, it felt genuine. I will be return back for all my kayaking needs!
James Rice
I am a canoeist with 40 years paddling experience. I just purchased a Wenonah Fisherman UL canoe from Canoe Country Outfitters. I was extremely impressed with the customer service and the vast wealth of paddling knowledge that Scotty, Tyler, and Tom possess. Everyone is so helpful and genuinely concerned about your customer experience. They really make you feel at home. Buying a boat from them is a totally stress free pleasant experience. Whether you're an experienced Canoeist (and or) Kayaker or brand new to paddling, They will make time and take time for everyone. I will never go anywhere else for boats and accessories. I am really happy I live in Pinellas County because if I didn't, I would still drive here to do business with these Folks. Thanks Scotty, Tyler, and Tom!
Allyn Hane
I shopped 4 places looking for a good recreational/fishing kayak. I ultimately decided to work with these guys because they listened to what I wanted - I wanted a specific seat type, foot peg style and weight limit. They were able to give me a choice of 3 that fit my criteria and from there discussed the pros and cons of each model based on how I was going to use it. IOW, it was a completely consultative approach that made me trust their advice. Other places I went to seemed more interested in jamming me into a kayak they had on display that didn't match my needs but was what THEY thought I needed. I was so happy with my experience here, I put some footage from my trip on my YouTube channel. I highly recommend these guys.
Jon Low
Didn't know much about kayaks going into this place but while talking with Scott he informed me with just about everything there is to know with them!! They offer great deals and have an awesome inventory. Highly recommend this place to anyone! Will be back !
Pamela Hettinger
We bought 2 kayaks here and love them! They guys were so helpful with all of our needs! I definitely believe in supporting small business'
Brittney Laroche

Gregory Bowne
Excellent experience. Staff gave recommendations based on listening to what I wanted to do with the kayak. I drove from Lakeland and glad I did..
Randy Sims
Great place, lots to choose from, knowledgeable staff. Would definitely buy my kayak there
Josh Parrott
The best place to go for your next kayak or canoe. Worth the drive from anywhere in Tampa Bay!
Jason Kercher
We are not new to paddling but new to ocean paddling and fishing. The whole crew here are knowledgeable and willing to talk to you and answer questions. Their prices speak for themselves and they don't push you when it come to making a purchase. I wouldn't shop anywhere else and this place is a one stop shop with great local help. A+ Great people
Zach Pennington
After looking for about 3 weeks we found his add on Craigslist, and we're very happy we made the drive from Hudson, they had a huge selection to see, we were able to sit in the demo kayak to feel how it was, we spent about an hour with Scotty asking him very amateur questions, which he took time to humor us.
You must check this place out for kayaks or canoes or any gear necessary.
m hays
I have now purchased two kayaks and a custom Gheenoe LT25 from Scott at Canoe Country. I can't say enough good things about the level of service and help that he provided. Thank you very much!
Chris
I just purchased the Bonafide SS127 last Saturday....AWESOME! I have a bad lower back and was out 5 hours paddling around Boca Ciega Bay FL without discomfort. Did some fishing and I really love my new kayak. I recommend it for fishing or just sightseeing. Thank you Canoe Country Outfitters.
Eileen Kimble
The sales guy will ask you some questions when you purchase a canoe or kayak find out if you know what you are doing or your a beginner, and then he points out what's more suited for your level of experience very helpful. Who new there was so much to a kayak🤔 …
Diane Hurd
Found what we went in for and something else we actually needed that we found unexpectedly. Excellent service from Scotty in making sure our needs were met. The service here is welcoming, no pressure, and friendly...not to mention helpful in actually putting the gear we bought on our vehicle, adding to customer satisfaction! Thank you Scotty at Canoe Country Outfitters.
Jaime Rogers
Just got two kayaks from them. Very nice and knowledgeable guys. They will help find the right boat for you. Tampa bay is a great place to be on the water and Canoe Country will help get you there.

They have all the latest accessories, good prices, and great customer service, A+...if your ever looking to buy a canoe or kayak, they have a great selection.

George Goodroe
CCO is the only Kayak / Paddle Board shop in Pinellas County that I go to, and there are allot. Tons og boats, gear and inventory, and extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchases. Thanks Guys!
Robby Brown
Canoe Country Outfitters is the finest canoe and kayak outfitter in the State of Florida. I have been a customer since the days they produced a hand typed and photocopied newsletter some 30 years ago! This is a true paddler's shop. You WILL be treated wonderfully regardless of weather you are an expert or beginner. There are many kayak shops out there that can be very stuck up and only cater to a certain type of paddler. I live near 4th and Gandy. There are a few kayak shops closer to me. I drive to CCO to make a purchase even if it happens to be a little more expensive. It is the INTEGRITY and KINDNESS of CCO that has kept me coming back all these years. I came in a few months ago looking for sheets of closed cell foam to re-outfit the cockpit of my Valley boat. The salesperson was distraught that they did not have what I needed in stock. Today, when I went by the shop, they had a stack of the exact closed cell foam that I needed. This is business done right. I cannot say enough about these guys!

7/6 Update: Seller admitted they overcharged and issued refund for the difference.
7/3 I’ve bought kayaks and various accessories from this store in the past and those experiences were great but a more recent experience left me disappointed and will not be returning as a customer. I prefer to buy local and love to support small businesses so that is why I chose to shop at Canoe Country rather than ordering online. On 7/2, I purchased an inflatable paddle board from the store and the board was not marked with prices. The sales associate checked with the owner (?) and he told him $799 (just conversing across the store, not checking system). Since I’ve had good experiences before, I trusted them to not overprice. After buying I went online to get more details about my new board and found that they had the price at $669 advertised on their website. The manufacturer website also shows $699. I called another local place and it is also $699. I searched this model online and the consensus is $699 or lower. I then called Canoe Country to ask about it and they said oh it’s because of shipping that we can’t sell it for that low and they forgot to update the prices on the website and would not honor the $669 price. I find this strange because most retailers will ship for free and the other local store couldn’t think of a reason why it would be $799. The paddle boards are also nonreturnable which I was not informed of before purchasing. It was a fine print on the receipt after the fact. Thinking back, when I was checking out the store owner had asked how I heard of the store. Maybe thinking that I am a new customer and trying to upcharge. This is my own experience and yours may be different. It was a costly mistake for not doing my due diligence and just want to warn everyone if you are shopping here, check prices online and their website and ask thoroughly before purchasing. I am attaching the receipt and a screenshot of the price on their website as of 7/3/21. You will see they put “Starting at” to CYA because either kayaks you can add different angler packages. The SUP package is complete with everything in a box and all other sellers have the price at $699. There would be no reason for them to charge a la carte. $130 more than the price on their website is ridiculous. You will also see that the item name on the receipt is different but that is just because BIC rebranded to TAHE. Again, I’ve had good experiences here before, this time just felt deceived and won’t be returning. Nothing wrong with the quality of product. Happy paddling.
David Knasiak
Great outfitters. Great crew. " you deserve a good paddling " yes I said it . Thanks crew. DK

Kayak rookies!
I can't say enough about the information these guys shared with us. Our background in kayaking is pretty much all research-related at this juncture, but having someone to answer our questions, get us everything we needed and knowing that we can always reach out in the future, is a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders.
Thank you so much for all of your help.
We definitely recommend using Canoe Country!
