Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

New GTX Sea‑Doos built for stability and speed

The operator supplies modern GTX Sea‑Doos — quick, stable machines with seating for up to three riders — so you spend your time riding rather than worrying about equipment.

THE SOCIAL RIDE

Designed for groups: two machines and room for extras

The Weekday Special is aimed at shared fun: rentals come with two Sea‑Doos and accommodate additional riders at a per‑machine fee, making it easy for friends or family to ride together.

THE BASICS COVERED

Safety and simplicity — life jackets and orientation included

You don’t need a license or previous experience; the operator provides an orientation and life jackets so newcomers can ride safely on a contained lake setting.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Expect short, concentrated bursts of motion: a quick check‑in and orientation, a launch of one or both Sea‑Doos onto a sheltered lake surface, and an hour (or two) of open, responsive handling that favors families and mixed‑ability groups more than long open‑ocean runs.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active pairs and small groupsIdeal — the special supplies two Sea‑Doos (each seats up to three) so friends and couples can share the experience without arranging separate bookings.
2
Families with older teens/adultsA good match if all riders meet the age requirement: machines take multiple riders, but everyone must be 21 or older to rent.
3
First‑time ridersSuitable — no prior license or experience required; the operator provides an orientation and life jackets to bring novices up to speed.
4
Travelers seeking long, guided toursNot ideal — this is a short, rental‑style experience focused on on‑water time rather than extended guided excursions.
