Island guide
Renting a bike, kayak or golf cart on Amelia Island
Ask whether they deliver to where you are staying, and be specific about it, because on this island that word covers four different arrangements. Some will bring a bike, a cart or a chair to your hotel at no charge and collect it at the end of the week. Some charge for the run. Some deliver only to the water, so you still have to get yourself to a boat ramp that may be off the island. And some do not deliver at all and will meet you at the launch. That is worth settling before you compare day rates, and it is the one question the day rate never answers.

The rental desk
Make the shops come to you
Tell Amelia what you want and where you are staying, and she will work out what suits and who can reach you, then pass it to the island's rental shops so they come back with availability and their own prices.
Or scroll on and read the 27 listings yourself.
Grouped by what each one is mainly described as renting. Several rent across more than one group, so a place listed under bikes may well have a kayak too — worth asking rather than ringing twice.
Bikes and e-bikes
Cruisers for the beach path, e-bikes if you would rather not fight the wind on the way home.

Amelia Island Board Rentals
motorized skateboard and scooter rentals3-wheel Arcimoto rentals
The name is misleading: what they actually rent from 401 S 8th Street is the Arcimoto FUV, a small electric open-air two-seater, along with a guided FUV tour and short guided beach rides. Skateboards came off the downtown tour in 2023 and that tour is scooters only, minimum age 14; younger children are limited to the beach rides. The beach rides leave from Burney Beach Park rather than the 8th Street address, so do not turn up at the shop for one.

Street-legal golf carts and folding e-bikes from 515 S 8th Street. Delivery is offered on the cart hire at $25 each way. Carts need a driver's license, age 21 and a deposit; safety gear comes with the e-bikes. Rentals run every day even though the storefront itself is shut Sunday and Monday, so the shop being closed does not mean you cannot get a cart.

Amelia Adventures
kayak and SUP tourskayak and paddleboard rentals
Kayak and paddleboard rentals booked through 432 S 8th Street. Worth knowing before you book: the kayak gear is delivered to the water rather than to your hotel, and the meeting point is a boat ramp off the island on S.R. 200 in Yulee, with morning launches at 9am. It is a scheduled slot rather than a walk-up hire, takes a per-person deposit, and the booking is reviewed rather than instantly confirmed.

Adventures Up the Creek
kayak rentalspaddling trips
Kayak and paddleboard rentals with a shuttle that drops the boats off and collects them, though the shuttle costs extra rather than being free. Two things to check first: the published rates are for their St. Marys, Georgia base rather than an Amelia Island counter, and they screen renters on experience, including a self-rescue requirement, so this is not a walk-up hire for a complete beginner. A deposit and a signed waiver are needed before launching.

Paddleboard rentals by the half day or full day out of 1630 Scott Road, along with lessons, ocean paddles, eco tours and paddleboard yoga. They deliver and collect the boards, and will drop them at a beach access point or at the address you are staying. If they do not pick up the phone it does not mean they are closed, it usually means they are on the water.

Surf shop at 31 S Fletcher Ave renting surfboards from beginner soft-tops to short boards, plus paddleboards, bodyboards and beach chairs. Staff size the board to what you can actually do rather than handing over whatever is nearest, and paddleboards come with paddle, leash and the required PFD. Every category carries a deposit and the paddleboard one is steep, so ask what it is when you book. Booking is by phone or in person only. They also publish a local surf report, which is worth a look before you decide to rent a board at all.

Paddle Jax Amelia
kayak rentals
Kayaks only, guided and self-guided, running since 2010 under this name and previously as Amelia Island Adventures. Self-guided renters get an app to follow; guided trips go out with a certified naturalist. Based in Yulee, and rather than delivering to where you are staying they meet you at the launch for your trip, so you will need to get yourself there. There is a minimum age, which rules out the youngest children.

PADL — Amelia & Talbot
self-serve kayak and SUP stations
Self-serve paddleboards, kayaks and bikes unlocked from a station with a phone app, part of a Florida-wide chain rather than a local outfit. Worth being clear on where it actually is: the station sits on Big Talbot Island at 13030 Heckscher Drive, which is Jacksonville and across the water, not on Amelia Island. Park hours are sunrise to sunset and there is a last-rental cutoff, and they suggest riding within a couple of hours of high tide.
