The Experience

What if you could take someone with you on a jet ski tour around an entire island and not pay extra for them? That's the setup here. You're looking at a 1.5-hour jet ski tour that circles Key West, and the second rider on your machine costs nothing—no surprise charge at checkout, no fine print. The tour covers 28 miles of water, which means you're not just zipping around the harbor; you're actually seeing the whole island from the water. The fleet is brand-new WaveRunners refreshed every year, and a guide leads the way to stops like the Southernmost Point, a local sandbar, and sections of the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary where the water is clear enough to see why people come here in the first place.

The timing is tight but manageable. You check in an hour before departure, and if you were born after January 1, 1988, you'll need to pass a Florida boaters safety test—but it's only 15 minutes and you can take it online before you arrive. Riders 16 and 17 can drive if a parent or guardian sits on the back; anyone 18 and up can go solo. The guide handles the route and the pace, so you're not navigating or worrying about where to go next. You just ride, switch drivers if you want, and stop when the group stops to take in the view or catch your breath. Complimentary shuttle pickup means you don't need to arrange transport to the dock, and there's a fresh-water shower waiting when you're done.

The jet ski tour around Key West has over 15,000 five-star reviews and twenty years of operation behind it, which matters when you're trusting someone with your safety and your money. No hidden fees, no gas charges, no surprise add-ons—everything is included upfront. Wear a bathing suit, bring sunglasses, slather on sunscreen, and show up ready to move. The water can be rough or smooth depending on the day, and the sun is relentless, so plan accordingly.

What’s included

Your tour includes a brand-new jet ski, gas, a second rider at no extra charge, complimentary shuttle pickup from your hotel, instruction before departure, a guide-led 28-mile route around Key West with stops at the Southernmost Point, Boca Chica Sandbar, and the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary, and a fresh-water shower to rinse off afterward.
