Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RIVER

Wide Open Columbia River Riding

The core draw is the Columbia River itself — open water and room to run. Pacific Shorz’s beachside access gets you onto the river quickly so you can spend more time riding and less time rigging.

THE SERVICE

Beachside, All‑Inclusive Rentals

Rentals are presented as all‑inclusive with beachside service and easy launch logistics; operators advertise a hassle‑free experience with amenities nearby so the focus stays on the ride.

THE RULES

Rider Limits, Deposits and Fees

Policies are straightforward: two riders per jet ski by default, a refundable damage deposit is required, and there’s a specific fee if a jet ski is tipped over—details to note before you go.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

You arrive to free parking, present a valid ID and a credit or debit card for the refundable damage deposit, change into swimwear, and accept beachside service that gets you onto the Columbia River quickly. From launch, expect straightforward runs across open water under the wide Washington sky; returns follow the same easy shore setup.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should take caution.

1
Solo AdultsA strong match for licensed adults: drivers 18 and older may operate by themselves and can expect an easy, beachside launch experience.
2
Teens with an AdultTeens aged 16–17 can drive if accompanied by an adult, making this an option for families with older teens under supervision.
3
Families with Small ChildrenStandard policy allows two riders per jet ski; a third rider is permitted only if under 39 inches (about 50 lbs), so plan equipment and seating with those limits in mind.
4
