Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE THRILL

An hour of open‑water riding

Pack a full hour of on‑water excitement into a single rental—the core appeal is straightforward: throttle up, carve wakes and cover water with friends or family on a short, intense outing.

THE TEAM

Space for small groups

Each jetski accommodates up to three passengers, making the rental a social ride for couples or small groups who want to share the experience.

THE SAFETY BASICS

Cleared for riders with clear rules

Age and safety rules are built in: drivers must meet minimum age requirements, and lifejackets are provided and must be worn—simple constraints that keep the outing fast and straightforward.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

The experience is compact and direct: check in, confirm paperwork and eligibility, don a provided lifejacket, and spend sixty minutes riding a jetski that can carry up to three people. It’s designed to put riders on the water quickly and safely for a single, concentrated session of speed and scenery.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Independent riders (18+)Ideal for renters 18 and older who can sign the agreement and operate a jetski on their own according to the operator’s rules.
2
Young drivers with adult (16–17)Teens aged 16 or 17 may drive if accompanied by an adult; this lets younger adventurers participate without renting alone.
3
Small groups & familiesGood for groups that can share a single jetski (up to three people), offering a social way to experience the water together within capacity limits.
4
Those with weight considerationsNot suitable if three riders would exceed the jetski’s maximum combined weight of 450 lbs—plan parties and pairings accordingly.
