Miami Jet Ski Rental

Cant get any better than this jetski tour in Miami area. Well worth the money. I would suggest getting the 2hr tour because especially if you’re a beginner you will need 10 – 30 min just to learn. Call and ask if the french instructor would be there the day you reserve. A+++ business with friendly staff!

My son was visiting, and his only request, «Dad, all I want to do this trip is Jet Ski, and I do not want to ride, I want to drive» ! Straight A student, so what do you do? I went the day before and we spoke with Shelley (Pray i got your name right). I mentioned this would be my sons 1^st time driving, voiced my concern about age and wanted to know restrictions. He let us know the requirements, made sure my kids age was guideline and said we needed a state picture ID.
So yesterday morning, 8am we were at DMV to get a photo ID. Afterwards, we went online to make reservations (I think a $ 20 discount to do online) Our reservation was at 3:30pm. We received a phone call around 2:48pm, which I was so grateful for, because one of the restrictions is to take a boating license test, and you must be there 30 min prior. Arriving at 3pm on the Dot, my son took the test, 100 of course, then we met the French Instructor, Stefan, Very cool guy. He thoroughly went through operation of the Jet ski with my Kid, 5 second rules, hand signals, etc. We parked on a sand barge took pictures of the scenery, went to an island, took more pics and Stefan pointed out some of the locals with their highly modified Jet skis. He made every precaution ensuring my kids safety away from them. «lets go now while they are over there» lol. We went in the bay where I lost it, taking a S-​turn too tight. He quickly came back, I gave him the thumbs up, as I was swimming toward the jet ski, and he gave me a tow to it, and we resumed, S-​turns and speed, this was awesome.
Me and my kid had a ball. I will definitely start bringing all my out of town guest. Only regret, they don’t have some sort of — come 4 times, 5^th time free– deal, Lol. The entire staff, was amazing! This location also rent boats which is also on the horizon. In addition, I met Mike (I am Ironman) about future water board, next my kid visits. Thanks to everyone involved. Hope this review helps. Enjoy!

My boyfriend and I came here while on vacation in Miami and had a great time. We happened to be the only people who booked the time slot for the one hour Island Adventure tour so it was like having our own private guide.
Having lived in Miami for many years, I had rented wave runners in the past but never went on a guided tour so this was very different. I think this tour might have been more fast-​paced than usual (not sure though) because it was just the two of us and while my boyfriend was able to keep up with the guide, I fell behind a lot (yes, admittedly my fault as I was much more wimpy about the speed — these babies do go very fast!). You ride through lot of open water as well as between large boats (where you probably would normally be a little afraid to ride — well, at least I would).
Our guide was very knowledgeable and great with the wave runners — my only complaint was that he was in a huge rush and wasn’t overly pleasant before we got out on the water. Once we were out there it was fine though, it is good to be with someone who seems to know what he’s doing, especially when you’re zig zagging between very large vessels. The Island Adventure tour is a little pricey if you each want your own jet ski but definitely worth the fun!

Miami Jet Boat was a great summer adventure for the kids! The staff is very courteous. The host of the adrenaline ride was fantastic and very comical. Thanks for the great experience!

Not a bad place, but the instructor seems like he’s always in a rush.
My boyfriend and I came here while on vacation in Miami Downtown. Neither of us have been jet skiing and we thought this would be a fun activity to do during the summer. We arrived 20 minutes early because we didn’t have a boating license. We paid $ 6 to take the test. It was much easier than expected. He gave us a study guide that literally had all the answers on it. You can take as long as you want, but you have to give the guide back before taking the exam. Exam is 25 questions, you need to get 19 correct. Good news is that once you pass, you can use your boating license for a year in any US state.
It gets fun when you’re in the water. Our instructor was very good, he was patient with us, but he picked up the pace quickly. It got pretty scary pretty quickly for me. Jet skis go super quick, 60 mph is lightening fast and when you hit waves, it gets crazy. I was airborne about 10 times during the 1 hour ride and I feared for my life each time. It wasn’t just a quick second in the air. Keep in mind you’re not in a small square space, you’re actually out in the water with other jet skiers and other boats.
My only real gripe was that the instructor came off as standoffish at times. One minute he would be patient and the next he was telling us we needed to hurry up. It was the way he said it that really struck a cord. There’s a polite way to convey that you’re in a time crunch and then there’s his way.
Overall, it was a good experience, but personally, I might not do it again.

We did the 1hr tour which was a pretty decent value compared to the other rental locations in Miami. The only complaint that we had was the island stop was too long. If youre anything like us, we rented the jet ski to go out and ride on the tour instead of in a small ride zone like the other companies. Which the ride to and from the island was fun but the island stop really cut the 1hr tour short for riding. During the ride you hit speeds of around 50−55mph as long as everyone on your tour is competent and capable of controling the ski.

I’m not one to come on here and do a bad review. I am pro business, but unless the owners/​managers hire better people, don’t come to this place!
When we showed up the person doing the tour told us to hurry up, that we were waisting his time. This was before we got on the jet ski. I told him that I would hate to take his time and went for my refund.
We paid cash for the rentals, and they asked me for my credit card for incidental. We got our cash back and we left. I was not going to write a review at all but after I saw my card statement I was shocked to see that they had ran the card for the full amount! That is technically fraud and bad customer service. For the amount they charge, there are plenty of places in Miami you can go to.
Let these people know that customer service should be their number one priority.
Your money can buy better service anywhere else!

I mistakenly booked a trip for the wrong day (a day that I would be on a flight back home) and didn’t realize it until I arrived at the dock/​office. It was late in the day and to make things worse, there were no more scheduled tours that day. The guys saw how badly my wife and I wanted to go so they went out of their way to not just accommodate us but gave us a GREAT tour. You’ll go as fast as you can handle it (about 50−55mph) all across the Bay. You’ll stop and get off at sandbars and an island to swim and take pics. You’ll see multi million dollar properties up close and personal. Again, a great tour.

Had a blast! My husband and I rented 1 jet ski and alternated driving it. I placed my order online and received the 10% off student discount. We took the boating license course/​test in person which only took 15 minutes. I forgot my sunblock in the car and the staff gave me some. Our instructor, Scott, was awesome! He was friendly and lend me his shades when it started raining towards the end of our adventure. He showed us an island but it was too packed with boats for us to stop. During the trip he also gave us time to pictures. I would definitely recommend this company! It was a great experience!

WOW an AMAZING experience on the water. The highlight of our trip was seeing a pod of dolphins right under next to our jet ski. Eddy was a terrific guide and we had the best experience ever. I highly recommend going to all my friends and family.

We purchased a Groupon and made a reservation a few weeks before for jet skiing and snorkeling on March 29, 2013. Earlier that week, we learned that President Obama would be visiting Miami Harbour on March 29^th. We had a feeling this would affect our jet skiing adventure and his visit did, in fact, cause the Coast Guard to shut the entire area down which resulted in a delay of over 1.5 hours before we could leave the marina. Our guide, Steve, however, was great fun and made the time pass quickly.
When we finally did get out on the water, Steve took us to an area where we saw dolphins (we managed to get very close to them which was a highlight of our experience for me) and he took our tour into open water as well as past the mega homes in the area. He would occasionally stop to provide us with trivia and information about the area and the various homes. We decided as a group to forgo the snorkeling and instead stayed on the jet ski’s for almost 2 hours! Steve set the pace and we went as fast as the jet ski’s would go which was quite the adrenaline rush and great fun!
Highly recommended!

My family and I were really excited to rent a jetski while in Miami. I called in the morning and I was told they did not take reservations and it was first come first serve basis. The girl I spoke with did not mention they were fully booked until 4pm. When I get to the place which is very hard to find next to Bayside, I walk in the office and I clearly tell her I want to rent a Jetski and the young lady tells me to wait outside because she was with a customer renting a boat. I wait outside for about 30 minutes and finally she comes out and tells me that they are booked until 4pm and there are no jetskis available. In front of the office, there are 5 jetskis in the water and according to them, they don’t hold them for reservations.
My point with this review is that they should tell people on the phone if they are booked so they don’t waste two hours driving there to find out that information. A note to the owner, you should place signs directing customers to your business because the directions on your website are very vague in terms of where exactly your located. Bayside is a big place.

Went there in Fall 2012 with my in laws. The staff was very friendly and unlike other places the jets of top quality. No zone restriction and the guide pushed us to go as fast as we could. Top notch!

Terrible place. Bought it on Groupon and booked my reservation at noon. On the confirmation email it told us to arrive half an hour early to do paperwork so we did.
We were the first group to get there. There were 4 more groups after us and we waited for 50 minutes without anyone showing up.
I called them at 12:10 and they told me they will be there in ten minutes. They never apologized and never showed up. Don’t waste your time.

Doug is friends with the owner and his comments were solicited. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have referenced so many details from my post. It is sad when a business cannot stand on real reviews and resorts to propping up their reviews with fake ones like this. He finds something extremely minor to «justify» four instead of five stars… all a ploy to make you think it is believable.

Like the last reveiwer I purchased this through Groupon too. I’ve jet ski’d before so it wasn’t anything I wasn’t used to. It’s like the guys you pay a ridiculous amount of money too on the beach and if you aren’t there on time they bump you to the end of the line. I understand the last reviewers frustration but we were on time and treated like royalty.
I’m glad these guys were on the money, because I hate waiting, especially when trying to get out on the water. Their staff was young, but all business when prepping those who haven’t ridden before. We were out on the water in no time. I agree that it is sort of difficult to find if you aren’t familiar with the marina, but we were there 5 – 10 minutes prior to when the trip began so we had no problems.
Here what rocks about this particular jet ski company.
Their location! — Right at Bayside Marina, Downtown
The trip itself! Through Star Island, being able to check out the mansions!
The snorkel gear available. There are a few places to jump off and see the reefs.
Here’s what was average.
I’m a pretty big guy, almost considered a giant so I had to squeeze into a life vest — no XXL available.
They were def an above average business and I’ll continue to bring friends and family to Miami Jet Ski Rental based on the site seeing alone — as long as the buy bigger life jackets which I will call about in advance.
