We rented a tandem kayak from PBM. It was a super easy rental process. One page of FYIs, a couple of signatures, and off you go. They pull out a kayak and have the life vests ready for you. There is an overhead bar for safe onboarding. It's a short run to the end of Turkey Creek and back (3 hrs, with some exploring), but be sure to bring plenty of water. We saw a manatee (illegal to touch), plenty of turtles, a dolphin, and a few good sized gators. A few fish were found, but we didn't try to catch them. There is a small loading ramp at the end of the Creek. So you can get out and go hiking in the middle of your kayak ride. There are boardwalks and trails that lead right from the ramp.

Amazing experience we have pretty much made it a tradition to go out on every Sunday if the weather is nice

This is a wonderful place to explore Turkey Creek and checkout Florida’s wildlife. Customer service is good too.

We rented a couple kayaks and took them out for the afternoon on Turkey Creek. We didn’t see a single turkey but we did see turtles, birds, jumping fish, alligators, and a dolphin. And then more turtles. We were paddling pretty steady on the way back from The Sanctuary and it took 1 hour. It was serene and peaceful.

We went to Palm Bay Marina when we were looking to purchase a used boat. Nick spent a lot of time with us answering all our questions and took us for a sea trial. Sandy was great when taking care of the sales transaction. Austin was very helpful when we picked up the boat. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would recommend PBM to others.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Furrow to purchase a new Sportsman 232 Open. Nick was honest, knowledgeable and very patient, I mulled this decision for close to a month. Sandy handled the paperwork professionally and timely. Nick did a 2-hour sea trial with my family and on delivery Day Austin spent 2 hours going through every system on the boat. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Palm Bay Marina.

My son and I rented a tandem kayak today from Palm Bay Marina. Service was great. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The rental was for 3 hours for $48. We paddled through Turkey Creek to the dam. We saw a few manatee and alligators. Turtles were ready for some hotdogs but I forgot to bring them. Nice, peaceful trip through the creek. Will definitely come again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience at Palm Bay Marina! Brought my boat all the way from the other side of the state and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The team at Palm Bay Marina went above and beyond — no pressure, no gimmicks, just genuine service. They even waited for my return from a business trip to personally accommodate a detailed sea trial and dock-side coaching session to make sure I was completely confident before heading out. They provided all the required safety gear and delivered a truly turn-key experience — handling everything from financing to insurance. I literally just showed up and went boating. Professional, honest, and committed to making sure every detail was right. I’ll absolutely be doing business here again. Highly recommend Palm Bay Marina to anyone looking for a seamless, stress-free buying experience!

We love Palm Bay Marina. We were looking for a Sportsman, and someone gave me Nick's number. He is fantastic, very professional, and knows his stuff. We love our boat and use it every week. Austin is excellent and handles all our maintenance. He even humors me when I create some unplanned MX ;) We will be buying our next boat from this place. Sandy is also excellent, one of the smoothest USCG Doc closings I have had in a couple of boats!
