What to expect
First-time riders, no problem. Experienced riders, even better. Here’s the shape of every tour.
The 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.
From recent riders · From Google
"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."
"Carter was outstanding — super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly experienced. He knew all the best routes around Key West and made my very first time on a jet ski feel effortless, like I’d been riding for years."
"We did a jet ski tour with Six Fins, and it was our first time. Manny did a fantastic job — he guided us so well, made us feel safe, and ensured we had a great time. Strongly recommend Manny for anyone looking for a fun, smooth experience."
Before you book
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.
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.
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.
Six Fins also offers the 26-mile 90-Minute Premium guided island experience and the 28-mile 2-Hour Flagship guided island tour.
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
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.
