Worth Every Penny

Was a great experience for me and my wife only thing we didn't get to jump off the shipwreck as it is banned recently from the government

Open Sea

Ebony_A, Apr 2024

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the islands and shipwreck we visited, he even drove my Jetski for me because I wasn’t feeling well. By the end of the tour I was energized and so glad I miss out on the fun. I even jumped off the ship😊

Excellent instructor

tbaby651, Apr 2024

Omg i was so scared to go that far out to the shipwreck, but the instructor insisted that it wasn’t deep and that i would definitely get used to driving. He said i shouldn’t miss out on the experience and he was right! Im so glad i went. The water and views were breathtaking! The instructor knew exactly where everything was and the history. Im so glad i decided to go. I caught on pretty fast as well and got comfortable quick!

👌 Awesome Time

PHENOMENAL TOUR

Damon_S, Mar 2024

CJ was the best guide we had on the island. Perfect safety explanation. He made us feel right at home on the island. His story about the ship itself was informative and captivating. We even had a enough time to hit up iguana island and take some amazing pictures. Book Now you don’t wanna regret missing out on this one of a kind experience!

Fun and educational!

Erin_H, Mar 2024

Our tour guide was fantastic and very informative of the ship. In addition to an awesome jet ski ride, we learned about the ship, what is was used for, and how it got there.

5 Star Jet Ski

Such a fun experience! The tour guide was great and took amazing pics of each person in the group and let us go as fast as we wanted. We also had leisure time on iguana island!

Lots of fun!

Kathleen_K, Feb 2024

We drove out to the shipwreck (so awesome up close) and to Pine Island which only has a few full time occupants and one resort-so almost no one around. Beautiful water-too choppy due to wind for us to swim when we went. CJ was a good guide and sent us lots of photos and videos so that we wouldn’t have to worry about using our phones while riding. It was definitely a lot of fun. I went with my husband and my adult kids (23 & 26). It is 2 people per jet ski and I will say that the person on the back does have a harder time holding on. You can hang onto your driver or hang onto handles like I did.

What a fun experience!...

Tracy_G, Feb 2024

What a fun experience! Our tour was great. Very knowledgeable of the area and explained everything well and i felt completely safe.I highly recommend this excursion

Very fun experience

Nicholas_L, Jan 2024

CJ was great. It was a bit windy and the water was choppy but it was just manageable. This was 5 stars on a windy day, I can't imagine how many stars it would be if the weather was perfect.

Wonderful experience..

ardt65, Jan 2024

Great people.. We had to reschedule and they accommodated us with a smile. The trip was worth it and they let us spend more than enough time on the wreck. To make it more better they even dropped us off at our resort which was close by. Thanks to the whole team.

Great adventure, fabulous...

Erica_K, Jan 2024

Great adventure, fabulous guide and he even took photos and video for us!!!!! If you have never jet skied before, do it with these guys.

Fun Experience! Must love adventure

Shronda_R, Dec 2023

We had a fun experience going to shipwreck overall! Keke was a great coach and took good footage and videos. We unfortunately forgot our (water shoes so we couldn’t jump the ship. We will definitely do this again and be prepared with our water shoes to enjoy the full experience! Don’t hesitate to book!

Nice experience

gevannied, Dec 2023

Friendly host! Took plenty of photos and videos for us. Even brought us to see iguana island since we had a little bit of time left at the end.

Bucketlist Activity!

Anottage1289, Dec 2023

We were a bit late but they were patiently waiting on us. Jetski has a dry box to hold your phone and sandals. Wear sunglasses or goggles for the ride it’s A LOT of water spraying at your face and eyes. It is a good distance for a ride, NOT close but not unbearably far. Make sure you’re up to date on your tetanus shot if getting on the shipwreck it’s very rusty, holes, sketch lol. We wore our sandals to climb aboard and jump off. The water is not super deep but deep enough. The life vest will keep your near the top. Our guide took video and photos for me so kind!

Fun excursion

Sheryllyn_B, Dec 2023

Had a great time! Only area of opportunity is to give a brief introduction, instruction, what to expect. Would suggest wearing sunglasses or goggles. Otherwise extremely fun with great tour guides

CJ is the best!

Kamari_W, Dec 2023

CJ was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our experience amazing. We ran a few minutes late and did not feel rushed as CJ was very understanding and accommodating. He took great pictures and videos of us and offered some fantastic dining recommendations (including Crack Pot Kitchen).

Fun adventures!!

Holly_S, Nov 2023

The JetSki’s were in very good condition, our guide was very good. Let us ride around for a bit and helped us out with the ship champ. The pictures were excellent really did an excellent job and had them sent that evening. We rent a JetSki‘s the next day from someone else, and I will say this crew and company was much better.
