Launch from Ibis Bay and follow a guided jetski caravan through channels, past historic forts and the Southernmost Point buoy. This 90-minute, 27-mile loop mixes shallow mangrove runs with open-Atlantic speed bursts, ideal for riders comfortable with throttle and salt spray.

You push off from the shallow cove by Ibis Bay, throttle trembling beneath your palms as the harbor slips behind. The guide leads a tight caravan through mangrove fingers and open swells; salt hiss and engine thrum set the pace. As you punch out past Cow Key Bridge the water changes from green to deep blue, and the Atlantic opens like a dare.
