We offer Singles (one person) Doubles (2 people) on our waverunner rentals. A guide will escort you and your party to our huge ride area where you can play all over the bay. Just in case you fall off of your jet ski, our rental area is located in about 4 feet of water and most everyone can stand up. When your time is up, your guide will find you and escort you back to our location.

IMPORTANT: Regardless of whether you need a boating license or not, anyone operating a boat or jet ski rental must have a valid form of identification and the credit card that is used for the booking with them in order to rent.
