Sign in and waiver acceptance was quick and easy. Reps gave detailed instructions on jet ski and boat rental. They were also informative about the water and rules. Equipment was reliable. Highly recommend

The other people there...
The other people there were very rude. Not staff. The other travelers/ locals very rude. Staff was very nice. Jet skiis were very fun. Don’t know if anybody had any racial things towards us but they’ve been absolutely rude

10/10 – Absolutely...
10/10 – Absolutely Phenomenal Experience! Our couples group came down from Nashville for a quick getaway, and this snorkeling and dolphin-watching adventure was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was top-tier. The captain and crew were incredible—professional, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was such an amazing experience in itself. The snorkeling portion was just as impressive—the instructors were very engaging, informative, and made it fun for everyone, regardless of experience level. They really created a whole vibe out on the water—music playing, a bubble machine going—it felt like a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it translated into an unforgettable experience for all of us. Overall, we had an amazing time and will absolutely be booking again the next time we’re in town. Sending all the love from Nashville, Tennessee!

You need to talk...
You need to speak English, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the experience and your tickets will be cancelled.

Not the best
Equipment is not up to par. Jet ski was not accelerating properly or turning properly. Not enough instruction given before arriving like you need a credit card and an ID, but they don’t tell you that before you arrive.

Best Water Ski Experience Ever
Absolutely thrilled with our experience at this water jet ski rental spot! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they were incredibly accommodating, genuinely pleasant, and so easy to work with. Their positive energy made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The jet skis themselves were in pristine condition—clean, powerful, and clearly well-maintained. We were especially impressed by how efficient the entire process was. The staff provided clear, concise explanations that got us out on the water in no time, feeling confident and excited. If you’re looking for the perfect place to rent jet skis, look no further—this is it! Friendly faces, seamless service, and top-notch equipment make this the go-to spot for an unforgettable time on the water. 🌊💨
