William_P, Aug 2025
Lots of fun, can go at your own pace. Guide is great. We went with family and had a great time. Weather was awesome.

A plus tour

Josh_H, Jun 2025
Everyone was friendly and the small group was the way to go! Our tour guide Bercham made our tour memorable with great photos and tips to have a blast. Highly recommend this business to anyone looking to do the jet ski tour.

Good vibes, perfect weather. Couldn't ask for anything more

Redmond_R, Jun 2025
We had an awesome time with John. He showed us a bunch of spots, including the sandbar and some historical military sites. We opened up the sea doos and had a great morning. The watercraft were new and in great condition. Be sure not to hit the boat!

Fun and worthy experience while at Key West!

Oswaldo_S, Apr 2025
Great experience, instructions were clear and made us feel safe. Tour guide accompany you during trip and is a nice group activity. We circled around the key with stops where the guide pointed out and talked about points of interest. Highly recommended, worthy! Our guide was Oz very cool and professional.

Guide was the best…

Mike_B, Mar 2025
We had a blast, even with the skis restricted to 45 mph, ripping across the waves once the guide was happy that people were competent we were off. Racing around Key West, we got to see the sights whilst enjoying the skis and our guide come group photographer ensured that we all had some great photos at the end of the tour, which he kindly Air Dropped (iOS) Well worth paying the extra and traveling a little out of Key West to pick up the skis, as they were very new Seadog models and very stable. Go on treat yourself

Excellent

VenkataDharma_B, Dec 2024
Activity is excellent ! Only thing is instructor is very rude. Booking experience is also good. Its fun !!!

Absolute Fun

Kyle_R, Aug 2024
CJ was a great tour guide. He made sure we were safe and following the laws but still let us have a ton of fun. Got to play around for about 15 mins in the open water and than went site seeing on the jet skis. Would definitely do it again but would get two different jet skis. Having two people on was was not as fun. Husband likes to be safe and I like to go fast.

AMAZING!!

Michael_O, Aug 2024
The tour guide made this experience the BEST! He was a perfect blend of fun and safety! Not only was he knowledgeable of the area, he was able to talk about fishing and other fun times around KeyWest!!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your experience Michael. It was our pleasure to have you!

Christopher_T, Jun 2024
We highly recommend this. Had a great time. The guys were great explaining the tour. We will be back to enjoy it again!!!!

Great fun on the water

Terry_F, Jun 2024
Spin did a great job coaching novice jet skiers. Weather was pretty choppy and he was able to adapt and keep the experience fun and exciting. Small group was perfect for us. Book these guys for your adventure.

Fun in the Sun at 50 mph!

Michael_G, Apr 2024
CJ was an awesome guide. He would stop every now and then and give us a little history about the island which also gave us a break to catch our breaths. Wife and I had so much fun on the jet ski . Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to ride jet ski.

Great day on the water...

Gina_M, Mar 2024
Great day on the water with our family. JC was a great guide, super informative and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

Fab!

Allison_A, Nov 2023
JC was hilarious! What a hoot!! He really watched out for us too. Safety first!!! Fun time for all. Great anecdotal commentary with JC’s unique flair!

They don’t care about you

ManiDeekshith_G, Oct 2023
Actually the thing is, we were a bit late and the instructor said that it was ok. After saying that he showed us nothing because we were late, he just let us play around with the skies

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello, We are sorry to hear about your experience as we take all reviews very seriously. We post in many places including e-mails to arrive 30 minutes early. Unfortunately we run a set schedule and if every group were to be late we wouldn't be able to run a schedule and dissatisfy those we show up as told. If you would like to come out again we would be more than happy to take care of you. Please just reference this post. All the best

Thank you Luis! We were glad to you have you :)

Best tour on the island so far.

Matthew_C, Jul 2023
Our tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was Spin and he was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about the island and hilarious at the same time. I'm not sure that he knows how to not have fun. The jet skis were brand new looking and were powerful and fast. There was nothing about the tour that we didn't like.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience Matthew :)

Great tour guide - fun activity!

Tour host was very fun...

Robert_D, Jan 2023
Tour host was very fun and knowledgeable about the area. Had a great time and will definitely recommend to anybody traveling to the keys. Smaller tour groups makes for a better experience overall

Two thumbs up

Tolisha_J, Dec 2022
We had an amazing time!!!!! 9 1/2 Dan was the best guide EVER!!! I have been in many jet ski tours and this by far was the absolute best. Wether was bad so we didn’t get to tour around the complete island but he more than made up for that!!! We saw sunken ships and exotic animals….. it was just really great! I took this tour with my family and we all enjoyed. What a great treat for Christmas. Thanks 9.5 finger Dan for making sure we had a great time!

Worth every dollar

Stephanie_W, Sep 2022
This was the highlight of our vacation. Our guide JC was awesome! Highly recommend booking this adventure

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks Stephanie!

Cow Key

Marylynn_O, Aug 2022
JC the guide was very personable and accommodating. However, our reservation was for Monday got pushed to Wednesday because they fired the other guy. JC was just back from vacation and did not check the jet skis until we were ready to go out. Out of gas. Then, I got out and was idling but husband tried coming out and his jet ski failed. JC had started off so I yelled out and he came back and tried to fix the unit. We are now 30 minutes into the would be tour. After trying somethings shifted to another jet ski. It also was out of gas. Now what really got me is I wanted to go to submarine bays. I was there before. Where we went was not anywhere close. We stayed real close to Cow Key. Good part was it was calm water. Bad part was we did not see Key West at all.

Inexperienced JetSki company

Karina_E, Jul 2022
They called us the day of two hours before we were supposed to leave to tell us that they didn’t have enough JetSki‘s. They told us that they maybe would have some the following day. We also booked these jet skis two months in advance. Don’t waste your time on this company

Austin was the best tour...

Chayala_A, May 2022
Austin was the best tour guide he gave a clear tour took us to a lot of places and taught us lots of interesting things

Awesome tour

Gina_F, May 2022
Such an amazing experience!! Felt so comfortable and had a blast!! Our guides were absolutely fantastic and knowledgable and took us to some beautiful waters & sandbar 💙💙💙 will def do again!!!

Give the kid a raise

DianneWoolard, Jan 2022
We had one problem. When booking this trip the booking agent at the street kiosk she conveniently forgot to mention that we had to have our boating license. This was wildly irritating. Our red headed tour guide was cery helpful and friendly. He said he works alone so he should probably get a raise. Over all very fun trip with great stopping points.

Water and sun great combination

Tony_C, Dec 2021
