About Sealand Adventure Sports

Sealand Adventure Sports on Sullivan's Island offers a wide range of rentals, lessons, and gear for watersports and local exploration. Customers consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff and the high quality and maintenance of their inventory, including bikes and beach equipment. This shop is ideal for visitors and locals seeking expert instruction in activities like kiteboarding or reliable rentals for enjoying the island scenery.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the staff for being extremely friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional (mentioning Denver, Norm, Nick, Thomas, and Emilio specifically). Kiteboarding lessons, particularly with instructors like Norm and Nick, receive high marks for effectiveness, safety focus, and getting beginners riding quickly. Rental equipment, especially electric bikes and beach chairs/umbrellas, is frequently described as high quality, well-maintained, and in great condition. The shop's vibe is noted as positive, and their customer service shines through in handling issues like late returns with kindness and understanding.

Things to Consider

A significant negative incident involved a customer being threatened with police contact over a bike returned slightly late, stemming from the staff failing to take a credit card number initially. Other complaints include paddle boards being extremely heavy with a long carry distance to the beach and staff not warning customers about this, paddle board equipment being in terrible shape with a broken paddle, one instance of an instructor's lesson time being insufficient/a waste, and gear being perceived as overpriced by one reviewer. There was also one report of an employee being unfriendly and unhelpful regarding an e-bike reservation discrepancy, and one instance where a reservation was canceled last minute without a solution offered.
