Keys Custom Kayak Adventures Matt Gardi offers custom tours designed to fit your group's needs. Matt Gardi offers custom tours designed to fit your private group's needs.

Come experience one of the most exhilerating activities in the Keys with a custom guided tour through the backcountry mangroves and flats with one of the Keys most experienced guides. Whether you are experienced Kayakers, or have never been out on the water, Matt will custom design a perfect adventure for you and your guests at a time that is at your choosing! Whether you want to take a relaxing j

ourney through Mangrove tunnels, enjoy the incredible birdlife, and abundance of aquatic life found on the flats, or simply relax in the sunshine, Matt will factor in the winds, tides, and currents, along with your interests to design the absolute most perfect adventure for your Keys outing on the water. So many companies in the Keys offer trips with large groups of unassociated customers, of varying skill levels and interests. After years of being on the beautiful waters of the Keys, Matt realized that the best way to experience all that the backcountry waters have to offer is through a private custom tour of usually only 2 to 6 people who know each other. A typical tour usually spans 1.5 to 2 hours, but as the tours are custom, Matt can always be accomodating to your preferences. Along with local knowledge, history, and information about all the wildlife and unique environment you will experience, Matt will share with you his lighthearted view of life in the Keys, always tinged with a touch of sarcasm. Matt is certified in CPR, First Aid and AED and is also a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Boat Captain illustrating further his knowledge of, and experience on the waters of the Florida Keys.

Why I love the back country on a kayak... nothing but two foot deep crystal clear water all around you... and these 360° views really capture it so well.

Admittedly, those of you who know me well, know that I enjoy telling a tale or winding a yarn of sorts.... but sometimes along my tours I do intersperse my BS with a fact or two.... those who are interested can enjoy, those not... feel free to tune me out.

Either way, come on out and enjoy a tour!

We use Ocean Kayak Malibu Two XL, Perception Tribe 13.5, and Hobie Compass Duo kayaks for our guided tours. They are the most frequently used sit on top ocean kayaks for tours for a number of very important reasons.
Stability - These kayaks are wide, stable and track well, while reducing the incidence of splashing . They are so stable that it is even easy to stand up on them and utilize them as a stand up paddleboard.
Comfort - Adjustable seats and numerous molded foot placements allow for a paddler of any height to find a comfortable way to sit and gain the most leveage for appropriate paddling. In addition, the sit on top one piece molded kayak with drain scuppers allows for any paddle drip and/or splash to drain from the kayak so that the paddler remains fairly dry and does not have to sit in accumulating water.
Flexibility - These Kayaks can be used as singles, or tandems, and can even accomodate a small child or pet between two adults.

You never know what you'll find out there....

This is literally the end of the road for someone... it's the end of the old overseas highway coming from Lower Sugarloaf...

Robert Earle Keen might be wrong.... apparently.. the road does not go on forever.

Man I love these glides over crystal clear waters.... checking out all the sponges and juvenile fish!

What an experience to see these dolphin in such close proximity. They seemed pretty curious about the wonder beagle.

We were graced by this flock of pelicans that did a direct fly by over our heads!
