If it’s not Jeff and Jay, I’m not coming back! They are the WORST …no, just kidding!! The BEST jet ski tour guides I have ever worked with. If you’re looking for a Jet Ski experience that’s FUN…just stop scrolling searching, trust this review and call these guys.
First I’d like to highlight and shoutout Captain Anthony from Got ‘Em On Sport fishing for recommending us to come here for the tour.
I’ll try to keep it short but WOW!!!! My expectations were exceeded by 100 miles. The check in was smooth and butter. The gentleman gave us clear instructions and what to expect prior to the tour. We were given wet suits to keep us from getting too cold and a clear demonstration of the PWC before we walked to the other side of the beach to our jet skis. Jeff, accompanied by Jay, both clearly demonstrated what the expectations were. Especially since we had some extra wind that morning, for our safety the modified plan was to stay on one side of the island. The guides then made sure all of us got settled on our crafts before our tour began.
We made several stops where Jeff gave us some interesting insights about the islands and other surrounding bits of land. Between these stops, Jeff made our ride enjoyable by creating fun bubble paths to follow, with some figure 8’s and sharper turns to really turn up the experience for those in the front following him who love adrenaline.
About halfway during our tour we stopped by some shallower open water where the guides let us rip around and drive these jets like we stole them….none of us held back on that at all.
The thing I appreciated most though about this experience was the attentiveness to different skill levels and comfort. The guides urged more experienced riders to stay toward the front…this way we could break some of the waves for people who were not as experienced and maybe didn’t wish to ride full throttle. During our second stop and after a rough bit of water, a young lady, who by the way came by herself and we all thought she did well, got a little freaked out and wanted to end her ride early. Jay was so kind to guide her back to the beach.
Originally the tour was going to be modified due to wind but our guides felt like our team could handle some waves (and they were right) so we did the entire tour as advertised. It was worth every penny and if we hadn’t been flying back home the following day, the plan was to come back for one more ride.
Jeff and Jay…thank you guys so much for creating an experience we will never forget. You elevated our vacation so much and this is something my spouse and I will talk about for a long time. We will see you again…and until then, keep being the (worst) best guides ever!
We also were given great tips on how to photograph the sunset with our cell phones.
We also thought that the food that was provided was delicious!
I highly recommend this sunset cruise!
