Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, stretches along the Atlantic coastline, known for its sprawling beaches and lively waterfront atmosphere. Just south of the main strip, Acquajet Watersports offers an adrenaline-charged way to experience this part of the Carolina coast—through guided jet ski tours that sweep across tidal marshes, protected creeks, and open ocean. The company’s base near Pawleys Island provides quick access to quieter waterways that often feel like your own private playground, away from the main crowds.
Acquajet Watersports stands out by combining expert local guides with powerful, well-maintained jet skis, ensuring riders feel safe and confident regardless of experience. Participants often praise André and Eileen, whose patient coaching and keen knowledge turn first-timers into confident riders. These tours often navigate through salt marshes bordered by tall cordgrass, where egrets and herons glide just above the calm waters, and the occasional dolphin can be spotted near the inlets.
The friendliness and professionalism of the staff elevate the adventure, with thorough safety briefings and personal attention for each guest. This focus means families, couples, and solo thrill-seekers alike find the experience both accessible and exhilarating. Scenic highlights include winding through tidal creeks away from the Myrtle Beach crowds and then bursting out onto open water for a rush of speed and wide Atlantic views.
