Here, Island Watersports LLC stands out by providing access to the region’s only Scarab jet boats available for rent—a rare find for thrill-seekers and families alike.

Capable of reaching speeds up to 45 mph, they offer plenty of power to tow guests on tubes, wakeboards, kneeboards, and wakesurf boards without compromising stability or control.

Seating for up to seven people gives groups the chance to share the day on the water without feeling cramped, while limiting watersports passengers to five ensures ample pulling power and a strong ride. What truly makes Island Watersports a gem in the Mid-Atlantic outdoor scene is the unique access it grants to both novices and seasoned water athletes who want to experience watersports in an environment that balances adrenaline and safety. Fenwick Island’s calm bay waters and scenic shoreline provide the perfect backdrop for high-speed runs and relaxed cruising alike.
