What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
Check in at the marina, step onto a two‑seater Yamaha Waverunner, and push out from the dock — you can hit full throttle almost immediately and settle into a rhythm as the river opens up. The ride alternates stretches of open water for speed with calmer intercoastal channels for sightseeing; dolphins are a common sight if you keep your eyes on the surface.
