Turn a half-hour into a memory: a 30-minute jet ski ride off Playa Tortugas where speed meets expansive Caribbean blue. This short, guided outing is ideal for first-timers and families seeking a fast, scenic dose of ocean adventure.
The engine roars to life at Marina Adventure Bay and the spray of Caribbean salt hits like an instant wake-up call. Within minutes the Hotel Zone melts into a skimming line of hotels and palm trees, and the turquoise corridor opens—an impossible blue that seems to dare you to go faster. On a 30-minute jet ski ride off Playa Tortugas, wind and speed replace the everyday; the sea pushes and pulls, and you trade pavement for a liquid highway.

Plan to be at Marina Adventure Bay 15–30 minutes before departure to complete check-in at the dock lockers and receive the safety briefing.
Sun is intense on open water—use reef-safe SPF and a lightweight long-sleeve to prevent burns and protect skin from wind after 30 minutes at speed.
Bring a waterproof pouch or dry bag for phones and keys—most operators discourage loose items while riding.
Jet skis hold up to two people; pair with a similarly sized partner and secure a comfortable seating arrangement to maintain balance.
