The reviews online are literally so fake about the "bad experience". Everyone is so friendly and helpful especially Blacky he helped us out and was so polite to use. Also Hector was friendly and helpful guiding us on how to ride the jet ski since it was a very first time. Overall this place is amazing and you should definitely try it out with friends and family!

Jasmine_H, Sep 2023

I had an amazing time on the jet skis.It was an awesome experience. The people were friendly and funny and they made the experience cool.I will do it again.

Shorter time, higher fees!

John_R, Jul 2023

Got surprised with an $80 fee that had to do with booking with viator, even though it wasn’t listed on this website. Also signed up for 11 AM, didn’t get out into water until 1120 but they brought us back at noon.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi John, I'm so sorry for your frustration. However, Viator is a a third party who sales our tours. There is additional fees for fuel/ tax at check in (as advertised on their page, prior to book). Nothing was a surprised. It was listed before. You were charged the remaining balance at check in. From the time that you signed up until you got on the skis, 20 minutes is nothing! Remember that they were a tour right before yours ... Anyways, I am glad you had a great time out on the water !

Jet skis were fun. Extra...

Belinda_D, Jun 2023

Jet skis were fun. Extra fees on arrival were more than expected. Spent almost double original purchase via Viator.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi there, Always best for you to book with the company directly if you want to get the best deal.

Terrible place no...

Alexander_E, Dec 2022

Terrible place no Coustermer service Was sent away after not having boat license When no one told me I need one before And they didn’t offer a refund

Would not recommend

Saquoia_H, Sep 2022

Customer service was awful.. couldn’t ride the jet skis because the boat test don’t accept visas!!! Workers did not care or try to offer help!!! Should have you fill everything out before they take your money!!!

My family contracted...

Derrick_G, Aug 2022

My family contracted Covid while on vacation. I asked for a refund seeing that we are quarantined. I was told I would not be getting a refund.

Wavy ride!

Travis_J, Jul 2022

Good experience, got there early & the team worked to get us started ASAP. Process moves faster if you complete the waivers & license prior to the ride!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for the great review Travis! Hopefully seeing you soon for more water adventures!

We had a great time on...

DeAnthony_H, Jul 2022

We had a great time on the JetSki‘s, I spoke with three viator agents and no one alerted me about the extra taxes that we had to pay once we got to Miami water sports. I will book straight through the company it’s about 40 $50 cheaper

Terrible

Yasmin_C, May 2022

Birthday fun

Joy_M, May 2022

Great experience! Our guide was super cool and great with people. This was the best event I did all week.

For our first time ever jet skiing it was a great experience

Cameron_C, Feb 2022

Being out on the water jet skiing for the very first time it was an all around great experience I would definitely be doing it again I had a great time

Not worth Ur precious vacation time

Bhavini_S, Dec 2021

Overall I felt the experience to jet ski was phenomenal however the process was inefficient. We arrived at 10 am and were able to get on the skis at 1 pm. Last minute we were informed we had to take a test and go through a tedious check in with countless numbers of forms. Too add, extra money was pulled for instance a 10 dollar fee for test. We stood in the heat for four hours and I wouldn't recommend this tour. There was an option to jet ski through our hotel which took a max of 30 minutes for less money. If you have an option to jet ski somewhere else i highly reccommend that. This was a rip off and you can spend those hours doing something much for worthwhile in Miami!

Awesome experience jet ski riding!

Delia_H, Dec 2021

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Thank you for the great feedback Delia! We are happy to see you had a wonderful time during the Jet Ski ride! Hopefully seeing soon for more water adventures.

Hidden fees beware

Jayela_H, Nov 2021

Price changes, deposit, too much time me for a simple ride. Really draining experience overall. I don't recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

We are sorry to not have met your expectation for the Jet Ski ride and check-in experience, we will inform our team in order to improve it. All the important informations you are mentioning are advertised in the description upon booking, nothing is hidden and nothing extra is added at check-in.

Not so good

Stacey_B, Sep 2021

It was a lot of issues with the fees they wouldn’t allow my group to ride together but let others I feel to get the 250 deposits

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Our Jet Ski have a weight limit at 300 lbs (that can vary depending on the weather conditions), we are putting the safety first concerning double riders. The refundable $250 deposit is to cover potential damages caused on the Jet Ski during your ride.

High NOT RECOMMEND

Sks, Aug 2021

Horrible company and worst customer service I’ve ever experience. I didn’t even use the service and couldn’t get a refund just because, ridiculous.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Horrible experience

Cory_G, Jul 2021

Horrible experience! Was not happy with staff I was I also not told about ski 250 deposit before hand

Response from Host, Jul 2021

We are requiring a $250 deposit for each Jet Ski rented, as many other water equipment rental companies. It is stated on our website, all our affiliates web pages, this Viator.com page, our flyers and on your booking email/ticket. This deposit is refundable within a few days and would be used to cover potential damages caused to the equipment rented.
