Find Your Balance
Florida Keys Paddleboarding
Experience Sole Watersports stand-up paddleboarding at Hawks Cay Resort. For the uninitiated, paddleboarding is a sport that involves participants standing on a wide board—akin to a surfboard—and using a paddle to power and steer the board through the water. You might also hear the sport referred to as SUP. You’ll encounter ample expanses with shallow depths, light traffic and minimal obstructions to make your Florida Keys paddleboarding experience as carefree as possible.
Paddleboarding at Solé Watersports
Solé Watersports located at our Florida Keys marina will launch their stand up paddleboards right from the Hawks Cay Marina.

Even if you start out feeling uncertain, you’ll be standing up on your board and maneuvering within minutes – with a little practice and balance, SUP really is as accessible as everyone says it is.
