Myrtle Beach Watersports provides a range of water-based experiences around Myrtle Beach and coastal South Carolina. The company offers guided jet ski tours, private jet ski excursions available in 1-, 2-, and 3-hour options, and family-friendly backwater tours that highlight historic plantations, salt marshes, and wildlife. Rentals include model-year 2024 and 2020 pontoons and tritoons, Hurricane Deck boats with 90 hp engines, and a variety of jet ski rental durations.
Safety and accessibility are emphasized: some rentals do not require a boating license, while age guidelines are noted for different activities (for example, one-hour jet ski rentals are available to riders aged 16 and up). Private and guided options include the Shawn's Backwater Adventure Tour and the Guide to Adventure Tour, which combine pontoon cruising with jet ski time, dolphin watching, and salt marsh exploration. The business also offers skill-building options like jet ski lessons and higher-intensity experiences such as the 2-Hour Adrenaline Tour for experienced riders.
Additional offerings include a Boat Club Season Pass for frequent users, boat models equipped with Bluetooth stereos and safety gear, and rental policies that require adult supervision for certain bookings.
