Play in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean on our high-powered Yamaha Jet skis! A preview of our action-packed sightseeing tour, our rentals offer abbreviated experiences for those who can’t commit to the Island Jet Ski tour.

Rentals are restricted to a designated ride area, right of the beach of our resort properties. The ride area is about the size of a football field, so it’s more than enough room to play around and try out some tricks.

Have a large family, and not enough adults to take everyone out? Our rentals are close enough to the beach, so guests can switch off passengers & drivers as needed.

Not sure you’re comfortable on the ocean? Jet ski rentals are a great way to find out! Our ride area is close enough to shore that you will be able to come in any time you need.

Our Jet Skis can hold up to two adult passengers weighing up to 450lbs (about 204kgs). If you have smaller children with you and have a combined weight under the limit, we can still get you out on the water! Typically, the smaller child will be in front of the driver with the larger child on the back.

We cannot allow 3 or more adults on one ski regardless of weight – it’s simply not safe. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Unfortunately, we can not offer day rentals for Jet Skis.

Our Free Play rentals last 30-60 minutes and the drivers must stay on-property for the duration of the rental. From Key West, drivers can easily take a wrong turn and accidentally end up in another country or on military property, so the majority of the Jet Ski rentals in town are restricted. You can find more free-range rentals a few hours north, near Key Largo.
Because of the high traffic and military operations in the waters surrounding Key West, most companies on the island will not let you take their vessels out on your own. Drivers can easily get beached, lost, or end up in the wrong place in no time, which tends to ruin vacations.

Our licensed guides know where it is safe to go and how to get the perfect view of local landmarks and landscapes. If you’d like a more private experience, we do offer private Jet Ski tours with advance notice. We would be happy to take you around the island to any location you’d like within 90 minutes.
