45-Minute Sea-Doo Rental in South Padre Island

Open the throttle on the Laguna Madre and feel the spray at speed.

A 45-minute Sea-Doo rental in South Padre Island puts you at the controls of a jet ski on the Laguna Madre, with life jacket and safety briefing included. You choose your departure time from four afternoon slots. A valid photo ID is required. If you were born after September 1, 1993, you must be 21 or older and provide a Texas Boaters Certificate number. One additional passenger can ride along if the combined weight stays under 350 lbs, booked directly with the operator.

The experience

You arrive at your chosen time (1:00 pm, 2:15 pm, 3:30 pm, or 4:45 pm) get fitted with a life jacket, and receive a safety briefing before heading out onto the water. The Sea-Doo handles up to two riders as long as the weight limit holds, so you can bring a passenger along if you arrange it directly with the rental operator. The 45 minutes on the water is yours to control: throttle up across the shallow, open waters of the Laguna Madre and set your own pace.

Texas state law sets the age requirement: if you were born before September 1, 1993, a valid photo ID is all you need. If you were born on or after that date, you must be at least 21, carry a valid photo ID, and have your Texas Boaters Certificate number ready. The operator will not issue a refund if you arrive without the required documentation, so bring everything before you check in.

What’s included

• Life jacket.
• safety briefing before you head out on the water.
