Details

Jet Ski Seward, LLC offers a distinctive way to experience Alaska’s rugged marine playground just off the Kenai Peninsula. Located in Seward, a small coastal town framed by towering peaks and icy fjords, this company’s Scenic Jet Ski Adventures and Evening Excursions open a window onto some of the region’s most dramatic seascapes. Seward sits on Resurrection Bay, a deep, glacier-carved inlet famous for its wildlife-rich waters and sharp granite cliffs that plunge directly into the sea. Riding a jet ski here is about feeling the pulse of nature firsthand — the spray of the salt air, the engine’s roar against a backdrop of quiet cormorants and soaring bald eagles.

Their Scenic Jet Ski Adventures carve arcs through calm bays where harbor seals haul out and otters play beneath glaciers that calve ice with thunderous crack. Evening Excursions add a unique dimension, letting riders catch the dimming light as it skims across icy ridges and mirrored water. The fading daylight creates a chill in the air paired with astonishing views that make even the experienced outdoorist pause.

The business itself stands out as part of Seward’s growing outdoor recreation scene, bridging high-adrenaline watersports with intimate nature viewing. Jet Ski Seward is one of few outfits that combine safety, environmental respect, and local knowledge, delivering an approachable yet thrilling way to experience Alaska’s complex coastline.

Seward has its origins in early 20th-century railroad construction and fisheries, lending an authentic Alaska frontier spirit to every outing. Visitors witness geology shaped by relentless ice and sea, marine mammals thriving in protected waters, and an ecosystem that demands respect. Jet Ski Seward, LLC reflects this dynamic environment, making each excursion more than a ride—it's an outdoor adventure imbued with Alaska’s wild heart.
