About

Picture gliding across serene Gulf waters as shimmering sunlight dances across the surface. This is not a distant dream but an everyday reality at Paddled By You

Since its inception, this family-owned attraction has become a sought-after destination for kayak and paddleboard enthusiasts. 

The history of Paddled By You is tied to the vibrant coastline of Orange Beach, Alabama, where water sports culture is a way of life. The founders, passionate about the environment and fostering a community atmosphere, curated this experience to combine the joy of paddling with the region's stunning natural beauty.

Fun Facts & Cool Features

At the heart of Paddled By You lies an extraordinary blend of recreation and education. They offer single, double, and triple kayaks, perfect for small or large groups.

The two Hobie single-seat pedal kayaks are a new addition to the fleet. These are easier to control than standard kayaks and won't wear your arms out from paddling. And for the record, they're faster, too!

Peddled by You also offers paddleboard rentals. With a few tips from the staff, even rookies can succeed on the water with these fun water crafts.

A cool fact is that Cotton Bayou, where they're located, is full of dolphins in the summer, so you may witness a pod up close on your float. And when it's time to refuel, paddle to one of the water-accessible restaurants like Tacky Jack's, Avenue Pub, and Pleasure Island Tiki Bar.

For the adventurous, explore any nearby islands like Bird, Robinson, and Sand. Sunbathe on the beach or hunt for seashells; the options are endless on a Paddled by You adventure.

Paddled By You boasts of being the least expensive rental company in Orange Beach. That, along with their fleet of kayaks and paddleboards, makes taking a fun-filled float with Paddled by You a must-do when vacationing at Alabama's Gulf Coast.
