Wet Willy's Watersports is a Marathon, Florida-based water sports operator offering guided jetski experiences, kayak rentals, and fishing pole rentals across Marathon and nearby Conch Key. The company runs a range of timed tours — one-, two-, and three-hour guided jetski trips in both Marathon and Conch Key — plus kayak rental options and fishing pole rentals for anglers of all levels. Guests are asked to arrive early to sign waivers and participate in standard safety briefings before departures, and several listings note private guided rides led by an on-water guide who points out local marine life and area history. Trip formats include guided jetski hours that highlight hidden sandbars, secret trails, and secluded spots, as well as self-guided rentals for kayaks and fishing gear. Wet Willy's Watersports is featured on The Adventure Collective, where its offerings are presented alongside practical trip details and booking information. The business operates from Marathon, providing easy access to Florida Keys waters, known for diverse marine life and scenic routes. Pricing, availability, and exact meeting locations vary by trip and are published through booking platforms and the listing on The Adventure Collective. By combining timed guided excursions with rental options, Wet Willy's Watersports serves visitors seeking both high-adrenaline jetski tours and relaxed paddling or fishing experiences in the Florida Keys.
Waivers and briefings typically cover safety procedures, local boating rules, and proper equipment use to help guests operate jetskis and kayaks responsibly. Reservations are available through booking listings and The Adventure Collective online. Check availability online.
