You control the route and pace; note that fuel is not included in the rental.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits best — and who should reconsider.

1
Solo adult ridersRiders 18 and older can rent and drive on their own, making this a good option for experienced solo jet-skiers seeking extended time on the water.
2
Teens with adult supervisionThose 16 or 17 may drive only if accompanied by an adult on the jetski; plan accordingly if your party includes younger drivers.
3
Small groups and familiesEach jetski fits up to three passengers, but total combined weight must not exceed 450 lbs, so group composition and weight should be checked before booking.
4
Visitors who need certificationIf a driver was born in 1988 or after, they must complete the linked boater safety course prior to getting on the water—plan time to finish that course if it applies to you.
