Now enter the current owners, Mike and Elisabeth Mahan. In late 2004 Mike came across Rick while looking for kayaks to use within an outdoor adventure ministry. After the purchase of some kayaks and a short conversation, Mike came home very surprised to be the new owner of A Day Away Kayak Tours. His initial plan was to involve some students and have some fun using the business as a tool for learning. In Early 2005 through a series of life changing events Mike began working the business himself with a small group of friends. And, by mid-2005, A Day Away Kayak Tours was again up and running full time offering tours on the Merritt Island National Wildlife refuge.

If you’re planning a trip in the Titusville area and want to rent a kayak or paddleboard, we’ve got you covered. We’re a short drive from Titusville, so you can easily rent a kayak or join one of our daily tours. Because we specialize in large group tours and rentals, we make it easy to find the equipment you need no matter how many people you’re with, whether you’re in Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Orlando, or Sanford.
We do our best to make kayak and paddleboard rentals simple, but there are a few things you should know if you’re an experienced user. We offer single and double kayak rentals, which require a reservation. Depending on your location, there may be a pickup and delivery fee. Anyone using rental equipment has to fill out a liability waiver, which you can fill out before your visit. You’ll also need to sign a rental agreement.
When you rent a kayak from A Day Away, you can choose how long you want to rent. We offer half-day rentals for up to 5 hours, full-day rentals for up to 10 hours, and overnight rentals from June to October. Unless you make separate arrangements with office staff or an operations manager, day rentals must be returned to our office by closing time.
A Day Away is the simple solution to enjoy day and night kayaking in Florida. We can supply you with the rental equipment you need to explore, or you can join one of our tours and enjoy a guided experience. If you have any questions or want to reserve a rental, contact us to book now.
