Both on Stock Island, ten minutes from downtown. Different feel, same crew, different tour menu. Compare them on our Key West jet ski rental overview.

What to expect

How a jet ski tour runs.

First-time riders, no problem. Experienced riders, even better. Here’s the shape of every tour.

01
Brief check-in
Arrive 30 min early (1 hour if your driver still needs the boating-safety course). ID check, waiver, quick safety brief on dry land before anyone touches a ski.
02
Idle out together
Guide leads the group out of the harbor at no-wake speed. Good time to practice steering before you hit open water.
03
Open up & ride
Once in open water, the throttle’s yours. Guide stops for landmarks, photos, dolphins if we see them.
04
Sandbar stop
Most tours include a sandbar swim. Cool off, hydrate, regroup — then ride home.

The fleet

The Yamaha WaveRunner VX fleet.

Every Six Fins jet ski tour and rental runs on the Yamaha WaveRunner VX Series — a four-stroke, beginner-friendly machine that’s stable enough for a first-timer and quick enough to keep it interesting. When you rent a WaveRunner in Key West with us, you’re on a real Yamaha: a current VX-Series fleet, each ski carrying up to 3 riders (up to a combined 530 lbs), launching from both our Key West marinas with an FWC-permitted guide leading every group.

"We went jet skiing with Six Fins on Thanksgiving Day as part of our honeymoon. JJ gave us what basically turned into a private tour around the entire island, stopping to point out landmarks and even take photos for us. You can tell he cares."

Before you book

Jet ski questions, answered.

Can I rent a jet ski in Key West with Six Fins?

Yes. Six Fins serves guests searching for a Key West jet ski rental with guided and guide-supervised Yamaha WaveRunner experiences. Six Fins does not offer unguided take-away rentals.

Which Six Fins experience is closest to a traditional jet ski rental?

The 1-Hour Freestyle is the closest match. The guide leads the group to designated riding areas, where riders have freedom to ride within the supervised area while the guide primarily observes and monitors safety.

Is the 1-Hour Freestyle an unguided rental?

No. A Six Fins guide remains with and supervises the group. Riders may have room to ride within designated supervised areas, but the WaveRunners are not rented for unguided take-away use.

What other jet ski experiences does Six Fins offer?

Six Fins also offers the 26-mile 90-Minute Premium guided island experience and the 28-mile 2-Hour Flagship guided island tour.

Can a jet ski experience include a sandbar stop?

A sandbar stop may be possible on any of the three Six Fins jet ski experiences when conditions, timing, safety, and the guide’s judgment allow. A sandbar stop is not guaranteed.

More ways on the water

Rather spend the day on a boat?

Jet skis are only half of what we do. Our USCG-licensed captains run private boat charters from the same Stock Island marinas — sandbars, sunsets, snorkeling, and reef fishing. Doing both in one trip? Pair your ride with a private charter and save on the boat.
