Boaters safety certificate confusion

Christine_T, Jul 2025
I bought 2 boaters safety certificate's because I had 2 girls born after 1988. According to the text message I needed to do that. The text said to sign a waiver and complete the certificate for the ones born after 1988. When we arrived they were not allowed to drive because they were 16. I understand that rule however I shouldn't have had to spend $30 for a certificate that wasn't needed. I was disappointed in that. The girl behind the counter was extremely nice and helpful and so was the boy that gave us the tutorial on the jet ski. In the end I paid extra for something that wasn't needed. The text message is not clear on the certificate needed. Be ware

The jet skis were big well maintained and a lot of fun. Our guide Alejandro was kind and funny and knowledgeable, all-around great guy !

Fun!

Excellent tour guide! My husband and I had so much fun! The water was beautiful and the small islands were fun to visit.

Press down the throttle and open her up!!!

Alex_L, Jun 2024
It’s so exhilarating to open up and go 45-50 mile an hour on open ocean. You seriously can’t beat it. If you are doing a husband and wife thing, I recommend that you get separate Jet skis because the rider might gripe or the other person might hog the jet ski. All I’m saying is that I’m glad I sprung for two Jet skis. Jarrett was an excellent guide and we would use them again. The other couple in our group messed around taking video and ended up losing their cell phone which also had her credit cards on it. They dove in and tried to find it to no avail. So get your water gear straight before you do something like that because it killed 10-15 minutes of fun.

For this to be our first...

For this to be our first time driving jet skis, our tour guide Tristann was amazing! She made sure to check on us to see if we were okay and made the experience so much fun. We drove around for an hour and it was awesome!! Definitely will be back!

Cool staff, very friendly! There’s seven different islands you can go to! Water is smooth! We had a great time! When we got there we asked for a free ride vs going on tour with instructor.

Fast, Smooth ride adn water, GREAT Fun!

Robert_K, Jul 2023
GREAT adventure jet skiing. Our 3rd grade, 9-year old daughter rode with my wife and loved the experience. 47mph top speed. The water surface was VERY calm... great adventure. Loved it!

Great experience

Ericka_R, Jul 2023
We had a fantastic time. Our tour guide Eli was awesome and made sure we enjoyed our ride. This was my first time on jet ski’s and he made me extremely comfortable.

Fort Walton Beach Jetski… Highly Recommend!

Carla_C, May 2023
This was a great excursion. My second time riding and my daughter’s first ride. Scenery was beautiful. Instructor was attentive to making sure we had an amazing time. We stopped for pics and just had fun. My cons…. all the paperwork, waivers and tests. Be sure to allot time for this process. Additionally this is located in Fort Walton Beach. I stayed in Miramar so understand it’s comes up as Destin area activities when it actually 30 mins away from where I was. No problem for me as we used this as an opportunity to take in views on our way there. I highly recommend.

We passed a dolphin on the water!!! It was so beautiful and relaxing and adrenaline rush all in one, I had not been on a jet ski since I was a teenager and it was amazing and my kids enjoyed it!! Worth the memories we made!!

Great Fun!

Shane_W, Sep 2021
Super easy booking and check in. It was just my husband and I and out guide, Cam. He was great! We went to Crab Island and then out by jetty. Can was observant enough to see there were dolphins nearby so we were able to get up close to those. Would definitely do this again!

Great experience

Roderick_E, Aug 2021

Ryan_W, Jun 2021
Double booked jet skis on accident and cancelled one once we got there. Had fun on the one jet ski rental. But almost a month later still waiting for a credit for the one we cancelled.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Hi Ryan, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with a refund, we know that Viator's system is not the easiest to work with. Please give our reservation specialist Bella a direct call @ 1-850-503-7607 and explain the situation, and we'll do what we can to help you out. This is also why recommend that customers book directly with us for that complete and direct customer service experience.

Great experience!

MarieJoyce_V, Jun 2021
It is our first time to use a jet ski and Chris was very patient and nice with us. And he showed us around and answered all our question. I was scared to death but he helped me be calm. Lol. We will definitely come back. And I highly recommend!!!

Great experience

April_A, Jun 2021
Had a great experience from start to finish. Bella checked us in and was so pleasant and helpful. Chance gave us an excellent tour and explained how to use the jet ski very well. Of course, the ride out to crab Island was gorgeous and so much fun. I would do this again!
