Confirm 48 hours ahead
Operators ask you to confirm your time 48 hours before departure — do this to secure your slot and get meeting directions.
Mind the weight limit
Maximum weight per jet ski is around 300 lb; declare accurate weight when booking to ensure the right craft and safety briefing.
Skip the camera on the ski
Cameras and phones are typically not allowed on the WaveRunner due to risk of water damage and loss; use a waterproof chest mount if operator permits.
Protect against sun and glare
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and polarized sunglasses; the sun reflecting off the water intensifies UV exposure.
USCG-approved life jacket
Provided by operator but bring a properly sized personal jacket if you prefer a familiar fit.
Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin from strong UV reflected off water; choose reef-safe formula to protect marine life.

Water shoes or secure sandals

Light rash guard or windbreaker
Shields against wind chill on the water and reduces sun exposure during longer rides.
