So much fun. my first time jet skiing, Josh was a great guide made me feel comfortable, my partner who is experienced got to ride to his level. Definately would go again.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We love hearing this! Josh does a great job making first-time riders feel comfortable while still giving experienced riders the freedom to enjoy the ride. It sounds like the perfect combination. Thanks for joining us, and we can't wait to get you back out on the water for round two.

Great time

Thank you! We’re thrilled you had an incredibly fun experience and enjoyed the attentive guide and photos. Sounds like a memorable time!

No jet skis

Mike_A, Oct 2025
Double check to make sure the end provider has jet skis and is ready for your trip. The end provider Cruz Bay Rentals was not doing any jet ski trips on the day or week of our reservation. What a complete break down in communication between Viator.com and the end provider. I’ll never use either going forward. We wasted all our time getting prepared and getting to the site only to be turned away. NOT a good experience and nothing provided to us for all our time. Viator or Cruz Bay Rentals should have recognized that and given us something for troubles. If we did not show up (like they did not show up, they would have kept our trip fee. Very, very disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. While we partner with third-party booking platforms like Viator, we understand that it’s our guests who are ultimately affected when communication breaks down. Your time and expectations matter, and it’s disappointing to hear that this situation was not handled better. We’ve shared your feedback with the appropriate team and will be reviewing our coordination process with all partners to help prevent this in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Just do it!!

Awesome

Jonathan_S, Dec 2024
Amazing experience. From the beginning, the people in the office couldn't have been nicer. They took my valuables (phone, iPad, cc cards) and placed them in a safe. The instructor, DeMoyne, was awesome. By the end of the one hour excursion, I was flying, making S turns, making donuts, etc. DeMoyne was supercool and a great instructor. At the end of the lesson, I told him that if I were staying there, I would jetski every day. Absolutely do this!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for choosing Cruz Bay Watersports, Jonathan! I'm happy to hear that our team was able to make it a great experience on land and out on the water!

Amazing Experience!

Virginia_I, Nov 2024
Amazing experience. It’s not so much guided as they just take you around the island. Josh, our guide, was amazing!! Request him if possible. They even give you tons of “free time” to ride around going as fast as you want!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for the 5 stars and crew shout out, Virginia! I'm thrilled to hear that Josh was able to make it a great day out on the water and we hope to see you again soon!

Best tour ever

Mayra_G, Oct 2024
This was our second time riding jet skis and this has to be the best tour ever!!! Our guide was extremely awesome, he allowed us to have some fun and mess around a bit with the jet skis. Totally worth the price, 100% recommended!! We had a blast to say the least!!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for the stellar review, Mayra! I'm thrilled to hear that our Cruz Bay crew was able to make it an unforgettable experience!

Enjoying Life

Staff was great. The group we went out was awesome and the water was beautiful. I will book again with Viator

Highly recommend

MaryEllen_G, Apr 2024
Guides were great and we had a blast! Highly recommend. (2 adults 2 teens…2 people on each jet ski). Guides were informative and let us play around on the jet skis.

Great time

Erin_M, Apr 2024
We had a great time. Josh was very good giving us time and space to learn how to handle the jet ski and keeping us safe from the boats. Would highly recommend if you want to try out a jet ski while in St John’s.
