The 2-hour jet ski tour your shore excursion doesn't offer.

Yes. Cruise passengers can book Six Fins jet ski tours as long as the tour time fits the ship's port window. Tell Six Fins your ship name, docking time, and all-aboard time when booking so the team can recommend the safest schedule.

Cruise guests often choose the 1-Hour Freestyle Ride when time is tight or the 2-Hour Flagship Tour when the ship is in port long enough for the full experience.

Choose the 1-Hour Freestyle Ride if you have a tighter port window and want quick, supervised open-water riding. Choose the 2-Hour Flagship Guided Island Tour if you have enough time and want the longest jet ski tour in Key West and the Lower Keys.

The 2-hour tour is the stronger shore-excursion replacement when your schedule allows it. It is designed as an 28-mile island loop, depending on route, weather, and marine conditions.

No. Six Fins does not offer unguided jet ski rentals. All Six Fins jet ski experiences are guided or guide-supervised for safety, route control, and responsible operation in Key West waters.

That matters when you are on a cruise schedule. Our guides know the local waters, safe lines, wind exposure, boat traffic, and return timing. The goal is not just to get you on the water; it is to get you back to the ship with margin.

Hurricane Hole Marina is the closest Six Fins jet ski launch to the cruise port. It is a short Uber, taxi, or rideshare from Pier B and Mallory Square on the west end of Key West to Stock Island.

Travel time depends on traffic, ship crowds, and the exact pier. Six Fins builds in at least a 30-minute return buffer and recommends rideshare or taxi for the most predictable return to the gangway.

Call or text Six Fins as soon as you know. The team may be able to move you to a later time, shift you to a shorter ride, or recommend the safest option inside your remaining port window.

Do not wait until your scheduled check-in time to call. The sooner Six Fins knows, the more likely the team can help.

Call Six Fins before giving up on the day. Hurricane Hole Marina can have a wind-day advantage when north or northeast winds affect other Key West launches.

Six Fins will only run if conditions are safe, but two launch options and local guide judgment can sometimes make a ride possible when a pier-side operator cancels.

Any driver born on or after January 1, 1988 needs approved boating-safety education documentation to operate a jet ski in Florida. Drivers who need it can take the FWC-approved Temporary Boater Safety Course online ahead of time and bring proof — the fee is $9.99.

Drivers must also be at least 16 with valid government-issued photo ID. Bring your ID, cruise card or boarding pass if using a cruise discount, and any completed boating-safety documentation.

Yes, if the timing works. Every Six Fins ride includes a safety briefing and guide support. The 1-Hour Freestyle Ride is often easiest for first-time cruise guests with limited time, while the 2-Hour Flagship Tour is better for guests with a longer port window.

If you are nervous or unsure, call before booking. Six Fins can help match the ride to your ship schedule and comfort level.

Your Six Fins jet ski booking includes the Yamaha WaveRunner VX, fuel, USCG-approved life jacket, safety briefing, and guide or guide-supervised route support. Taxes, gratuity, optional protection products, and third-party booking fees may be separate depending on how you book.

Bring photo ID, any required boating-safety documentation, swimwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a towel.

Direct jet ski bookings require 48-hour notice for cancellation. Bookings made within 48 hours, cancellations inside 48 hours, late arrivals, and no-shows are non-refundable.

If Six Fins determines conditions are unsafe, guests may be rescheduled or refunded according to the applicable booking policy. Third-party shore-excursion or OTA bookings may follow the policy shown on that platform.
