10/10 – Absolutely...

T_S, Apr 2026

10/10 – Absolutely Phenomenal Experience! Our couples group came down from Nashville for a quick getaway, and this snorkeling and dolphin-watching adventure was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was top-tier. The captain and crew were incredible—professional, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was such an amazing experience in itself. The snorkeling portion was just as impressive—the instructors were very engaging, informative, and made it fun for everyone, regardless of experience level. They really created a whole vibe out on the water—music playing, a bubble machine going—it felt like a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it translated into an unforgettable experience for all of us. Overall, we had an amazing time and will absolutely be booking again the next time we’re in town. Sending all the love from Nashville, Tennessee!

Not the best

Rhea_M, Mar 2026

Equipment is not up to par. Jet ski was not accelerating properly or turning properly. Not enough instruction given before arriving like you need a credit card and an ID, but they don’t tell you that before you arrive.

First time jet skier

Very organized and helpful team. Seadoo-s ran great. Wished we would have chosen 2 hours instead of 1, because it took 30 minutes to get to Crab Island! Thank you!

A perfect experience!

Natalie_F, Jun 2024

My family had an amazing time jet skiing together with Power Up! The communications about signing the waiver and taking the temporary license test were very clear and sent well ahead of time for us to do them before we got there. The jetskis were really nice and easy to handle. The area was huge and had beautiful scenery and even places to stop and explore. Kyler and the rest of the staff were so friendly and even gave some great recommendations of places to eat and drink. We might even come back later this week!

Great Experience
