Overview

This is a fully private, extended guided jet ski experience designed for travelers seeking a relaxed yet immersive adventure on the water. Unlike crowded group tours or standard rentals, your experience is tailored to your pace and comfort, with a professional, licensed guide dedicated exclusively to your private party. Each booking is reserved for one group only, with the option to ride on one or two jet skis for your party.

Ride through the calm Intracoastal Waterway before heading into the open waters of the Gulf of America for scenic coastal cruising and marine wildlife sightings. With additional time built in, guests enjoy a stop at Shell Key Preserve for snorkeling in clear, shallow waters, followed by a relaxed beach picnic.

The tour also includes a visit to the iconic John’s Pass Sandbar and dedicated freestyle riding time, allowing guests to explore at their own pace. Secure storage, snorkeling equipment, light refreshments, and personalized guidance are included.
