Jet Ski the Saint John River: Evandale Resort & Marina Jetski Rentals in Oak Point

Evandale Resort & Marina Jetski Rentals drops the throttle on a stretch of the Saint John River that feels made for speed and scenery. Located at 3500 NB-124, Oak Point, NB E5M 2G8, Canada, this family-friendly marina offers one- to eight-hour personal watercraft rentals that let you chase the river’s bends, explore quiet coves, and skim past forested shorelines.

The core draw is simple: modern personal watercraft, a straightforward safety briefing, and access to the Saint John River system—one of New Brunswick’s defining waterways. Riders of all experience levels can book time on machines rated for two passengers (450-pound max per ski) with clear guidance from staff who provide mandatory orientation and safety gear before you go. For first-timers, the shallow channels and protected side arms make learning easy; experienced riders can open the throttle where local rules and conditions allow.

Landscape here is practical and variable: long river bends, sandbars that appear at low water, and wooded banks of maple, birch, and spruce. You may find exposed ledges of Paleozoic sedimentary rock along certain shorelines, and the river’s slow tidal influence near downstream stretches gives water an ever-changing character. The Saint John River—Wolastoq in the language of the Wolastoqiyik—carries deep cultural history in the region, and boat traffic and fishing remain longstanding local lifeways.

Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before your scheduled rental to check in and sign waivers; operators require a safety briefing and enforce age and licensing rules per Transport Canada. Typical sessions range from quick hour rides to full-day exploration; bring a second machine if your combined weight nears the recommended 350–380 lb for best handling. The marina can provide additional machines by request—call 506-254-6145 to arrange.

What makes this offering stand out is its combination of ease and flexibility: rentals for novices, guidance from local staff who know river conditions, and enough open water to feel free without venturing into commercial traffic. It’s an action-packed way to sample the Saint John River’s rhythms, watch osprey hunting over the current, and pull into quiet shorelines for a picnic. Weather and local regulations shape where you ride, so expect operators to adjust routes for safety. If you want a loud, immediate shot of outdoor energy with practical, safety-first service, Evandale’s jet ski rentals deliver.

Families appreciate that children from four may ride as passengers while solo operation is limited to riders 16 and older who meet Transport Canada requirements. Staff focus on clear instruction, lifejackets, and routes that keep groups close and reduce wake disturbance to shorelines. Bookings are flexible; cancellations need 24 hours’ notice for refunds or credits, and the operator will refund if weather forces a cancellation—perfect for planning a day on the Saint John.
