Gives you great freedom and a good range to ride jet ski in. Reasonable price as well. Parking, directions, venue, etc. were all easy + convenient to follow. Highly recommend this excursion for beginners! Seeing the yachts and millionaire homes was amazing!

Fun!

The company technically accepts no liability whatsoever. There is a $300 deposit per Jet-ski, but if the watercraft is damaged, the operator is responsible for all damages and lose the deposit. Other than that, the service is fine. Fun experience!

Best experience ever

Danyt, Feb 2022

Was a blast riding the jet skis. Great views and sea life all around you. Would recommend to anyone visiting.

Amazing

Bikash_T, Jan 2022

Fun

Omar_S, Aug 2021

Very fun, please read details when booking.. there is an expensive fee for insurance that’s charged to your card. It get reimbursed but it’s a hugh charge to hold in my opinion! The instructor was great.

Fun Experience

Coy_C, Aug 2021

It was really cool to see the fancy houses and yatchs! My husband and I really enjoyed the experience!

Very good experience

Michael, Jul 2021

Very friendly and everything was explained good by the employees. I liked the open 2-3 miles that we could fly freely. And the view of the homes were beautiful.

good but not good

Alison_S, Jun 2021

the two gentlemen that was assisting with the jetski were very nonchalant with their customer service..maybe they didn't have breakfast yet, I don't know..when I booked reservation, I booked for 4 people. only allowed me 2 jetski..don't understand why when I was willing to pay for the 4 jetski..then when I arrived for my services, no one informed me that I could switch amongst each other so that everyone could get a ride on the jetski..but another family that was there that had the same issue as my party was informed that they could switch up on the jetski so everyone could get a ride..I guess only some people get special privileges..then in my email it stated 300 dollar deposit was to paid but when I arrived I had to pay a 600 dollar deposited. if the 300 dollar deposit was per each jetski, then it should have stated that in the email. what if I didn't have the 600 dollars on me..the jetski ride was great but process was horrible..they need better customer service and better communication...

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Hello Alison, With all due respect, you paid and reserved for 2 jetskis, not 4. Also, you were informed of the policies before making a reservation and after making a reservation. It specifically states it’s $300 deposit per jetski, and also the max weight limit to share is 350 lbs. This is for safety purposes. The other group that you saw did not exceed the limit to share. You were made fully aware of all this beforehand so there should be no discrepancies at the dock. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us directly. -Jon R. Manager (954)383-8724

THE BOMB.COM

Candice_B, Jun 2021

I loved every bit of this experience!!! The staff were friendly, they provided clear explicit instructions, and were very attentive to any questions/concerns I had. This was my second time JetSkiing, and it won't be my last!!! I plan to come next year when I visit!!

Not what advertised and rude

Madison_R, Jun 2021

It was suppose to be a tour and it wasn’t. The guy was rude when the Jet ski was clearly not working right nobody answered the phone we took it back to dock the other kid couldn’t even get it on the dock and pulled a balloon out from under it and the other guy acted like the Jet ski was fine the whole time.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Hello Madison, We are surprised that you have left this review. Not only did we waive your gas charge, but when you had ran over debris in the water which got your ski clogged, we unclogged it for you, test drove it in front of you which is also on surveillance camera, and also gave you an extra 30 minutes. You guys returned happy. Also this is a self guided rental, if you purchased a tour it would have been much more expensive. I hope you reconsider your review.

Great jet ski

Ronald_R, Jun 2021

First time ever jet skiing. Awesome! Instructor was great. Also, had a dolphin swim next to my jet ski.

Stay Far Away!!

Colleen_S, May 2021

We were unable to even partake in jet skiing due to the tour company not proving proper details on what was needed. The instructor was lively and promised us a refund but the tour operator is denying it. Stay far away from this company. They lie and scam folks just trying to take a nice vacation.

Response from Host, May 2021

Colleen, before you even purchased the product and reserved your spot, it very clearly states in the detail there is a $300 security deposit due at check-in. You didn’t bring the deposit so obviously we can’t give you a $10,000 jetski. All sales are final within 24 hours of your reservation time which is also clearly stated before purchase. We could have rescheduled you but you just walked away. We cannot break company policy just because you didn’t bring the security deposit. Let us know if you’d like to reschedule for next time as we have a credit for you. We hope to see you then!

Worth it!

Thanks for your feedback Jaspreet, we look forward to seeing you next time!!

Don’t Bother!

Pail_S, Apr 2021

Wasn’t happy about third party experience but nonetheless, finally got it going and after being told at which point we can ride freely, was stopped by the police twice for going 7mph. Ridiculous. Never again.

Response from Host, Apr 2021

Hello there, I am sorry you had a bad experience but when you break the no wake law it is taken very seriously. It takes 5 minutes going slow to get to the fast zone. You need to travel no wake only for 5 minutes but you were moving too quick before the fast zone. This review does not accurately reflect who we are as a company.

Fun fun fun
