Jetski Rentals Fort Lauderdale: 2022 Yamaha Wave-Runners

Glide past mega yachts with a guide capturing every moment on camera

Rent a 2022 Yamaha wave-runner in Fort Lauderdale with a licensed guide who takes you through the Venice of America, past waterfront mansions and mega yachts. You operate the jet ski in designated fast zones while the guide photographs and videos the ride. Life vest, gas, insurance, bottled water and safety instruction are included. Riders must be at least 16 with a photo ID, and Florida boater certification is required if you were born after January 1, 1988.

The experience

You book a guided jetski rental, not a solo outing: a licensed guide takes you on the water in a 2022 Yamaha wave-runner through the intercoastal or ocean (weather permitting) to see the famous mansions and mega yachts up close. The guide handles the route and safety while you operate the jet ski in the fast zones, so you get the speed and control without navigating unfamiliar water. Every wave-runner comes fully equipped with waterproof compartments, and the company maintains them on a regular schedule to keep them in optimal condition.

The rental includes gas, insurance, a life vest, bottled water and safety instruction before you head out. The guide takes pictures and videos throughout the ride so you have footage without stopping to manage a camera. There's no security deposit, and the company uses tracking device technology on each jet ski. Reservations are required, and you'll need to complete a waiver form and bring a photo ID. If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, you must pass Florida's boater safety exam (a $9.99 state fee) or ride with someone who is exempt from the requirement.

Weight limits apply: single riders up to 300 pounds, double riders combined 350–400 pounds, with a maximum of two adults or one adult and two small children per jet ski. Children as young as 4 can ride as passengers. The rental lasts about an hour.

Is this one for you?Book a guided rental if you want someone experienced navigating the water while you focus on riding. Book a solo rental if you're already Florida-certified and want to explore at your own pace. Either way, the guide or your own boater certification keeps you legal on the water, and the tracking device on each jet ski means the company knows where you are.
