The company
Smaller groups on newer skis
The pitch is in the name of their About page: smaller groups, better experience. Guided jet ski tours go out with a maximum of eight skis where the big operators run fifteen to twenty, on Sea-Doo GTX 130 Pros that are turned over every year through a BRP partnership. Two riders per ski, 400-pound limit, ages 4 and up as a passenger.
The boat side runs from the same Stock Island base on Cow Key Channel: a captained Manitou tri-toon for up to ten with a bimini, a lily mat, snorkel gear, a cooler with water and ice, speakers, and your own food and drinks welcome. The clear-kayak night paddle, LED-lit, is the one nobody else runs on this side of the island.
“Smaller groups = better experience.”

The one to book
The 90-minute jet ski tour
Ninety minutes around the island on a Sea-Doo with a guide and at most seven other skis. Life jacket, whistle and dry bag included, wetsuits on request. The loop depends on the weather and the group; reviews note it gets shortened when conditions or skill levels call for it.
The price is per ski, up to two riders. Drivers 18 and up rent; 16 and 17 can drive with an adult signing, 14 and 15 with an adult aboard. Florida boater card needed if born in 1988 or later.

Reviewers write about small groups and new equipment compared with the big jet ski outfits, guides patient with first-timers, and wildlife along the way. The recurring complaint is that the full loop gets shortened by weather or a mixed group.
