Description
Jump on one of our Yamaha Waverunners and cruise around the island on a 28 mile, 90 mins guided jet ski tour. Look out for an array of Florida Keys’ wildlife as you speed your way through our Caribbean waters. Breathe in the excitement as you race from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and back to the Atlantic.
The two-hour jet ski tour begins with safety instructions from friendly, expert guides, who will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to help you get the most out of your island jet ski experience.
Once you are comfortable with riding your jet ski, you will follow your knowledgeable guide on your personal jet ski for 28 miles, completely circumnavigating the island, a task impossible by most watercraft.
During your jet ski tour, you will take in breathtaking views and watch Florida Keys marine life frolicking in the Caribbean waters. While cruising around the island, your guide will make five stops at various points of interest, such as The Southernmost Point, Historic Key West Bight, and Sunset Key.

Exceptional Experience
Todd T, Jul 2021 Verified
Dave and Brett are extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and fun tour guides. They provided a great experience with plenty of “local knowledge” and free time to open the throttle to explore what these machines can do. The water was warm, the weather great and all around good time. It would be a value at twice the cost. Tip these guys accordingly, they love what they do and is shows in their work.
Amazing experience -- even if you don't like doing group tour stuff !!!

When traveling on vacation my wife and I are not into the group tour thing. We were in Key West for a full month and this was the single tour that we did and it was absolutely fantastic! First, understand this is not an eco-tour. We did see a couple of dolphins, but this is really about having 30 miles of fun on your own jet ski with amazing views of Key West and the area from the water.Our tour guides were both great. Easy instructions to follow and they kept us moving 95% of the time so we could enjoy the jet ski experience. Stops included the naval air station where we got up and close to the the Cold War submarine bays while F22's were landing right over our heads. Incredible.My recommendation: do the 9:00 a.m. tour. Less expensive, not as hot, great hangover cure, and there aren't as many other groups or boats out on the water yet. We launched from the Marriott which was really convenient with an easy beach launch and fresh water showers upon our return.About that group tour thing, don't sweat it. You are 150 feet apart going 45 mph the entire time, including the freestyle time where they let you play around on your own in a big open area. Also, leave the phone in the car. Less to worry about and just enjoy the experience!!!FYI these folks work on tips so factor that in to your plan and give them 20-25% per jet ski, especially if you are using a darned coupon. Have fun!
Great time!
