Our Location

Salty Dog Kayak Rentals is located inside the picturesque Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park in Port Richey, FL.

Our park protects four miles of pristine coastline along the Gulf of Mexico where you can enjoy unparalleled scenery and places to explore, whether you have just a couple of hours or all day!

  • All skill levels are welcome: Salty Dog Kayak Rentals offers diverse options for your kayaking or canoeing adventure. You can paddle the inlets and bayous to the 350-foot deep Salt Spring or take to the open waterways to discover the Gulf of Mexico.

    Paddle out to Durney Key for some beach time and see the nearby famed “stilt houses” that were once occupied by local mullet fishermen and now serve as beautiful reminders of a bygone era.

  • The wildlife is plentiful: Get ready to take plenty of pictures of the wildlife! Manatees, dolphins, sea turtles and stingrays are frequent visitors to this area and you are certain to see plenty of mullet, snook, red fish, sea trout, and other inshore fish species!

    Keep an eye out for bald eagles, roseate spoonbills, raptors, wading birds, shorebirds, and migratory songbirds as well.

  • The boat traffic is minimal: Werner-Boyce waterways are relatively flat and shallow preventing the majority of motorboat traffic from accessing the area, which creates a one-of-a-kind peaceful environment for kayaking and canoeing.

  • We’re easy to find: The main entrance to the park is located at 8737 US-19, Port Richey, FL 34668. Once inside the park, proceed to the end of the main drive and Salty Dog Kayak Rentals will be on the left. We look forward to seeing you soon!
