Six Fins · Small-Group Tours
Choose the 1-Hour Freestyle, the 90-minute, 26-mile island loop, or the only 2-hour guided jet ski tour in Key West — 28 miles around Key West and part of Stock Island. Two Stock Island marinas, local FWC-permitted guides, and never more than six customer skis plus one guide.
Perry Marina departures include a free Perry Hotel & Marina day pass — pool and gym access, about a $35 value. Hurricane Hole departures get 10% off food at the famous local Hurricane Hole Restaurant.
Three guided ways to ride
Same Yamaha WaveRunner VX skis and the same local guides on every tour. What changes is how long you ride, where you go, and which marina you leave from.
Six Fins runs three guided Key West jet ski tours: a 1-hour Freestyle Ride for guests who mainly want throttle time, a 90-minute Premium Tour that covers 26 miles around Key West with fewer stops, and the 2-Hour Flagship — a 28-mile tour around Key West and part of Stock Island, and the only 2-hour guided jet ski tour on the island.
Every standard tour is guided and small-group: a maximum of six customer skis plus one guide. That cap is on purpose. Six skis is what one FWC-permitted local guide can actually keep eyes on, brief properly, and lead at a pace that works for the slowest rider without holding back the fastest.
Pricing is per ski, not per person. Each Yamaha WaveRunner VX may carry up to three riders, subject to the 530-lb total weight limit, rider comfort, sea conditions, and guide approval — so two or three people sharing a ski pay one price.

The tours
All three are guided or guide-supervised. Six Fins does not offer unguided take-away rentals.
Six Fins’ most riding-focused experience. Your guide leads the group out to designated riding areas, then you have room to ride while the guide watches the water and monitors safety. Speed and throttle time, without committing to a longer route.
$160 / ski
A 26-mile guided tour around Key West from The Perry Hotel & Marina. Same island, same guides as the 2-hour — with fewer stops, so you see Key West from the water in 90 minutes.
$189 / ski
A 28-mile guided tour around Key West and part of Stock Island — the longest Six Fins guided experience and the only 2-hour guided jet ski tour in Key West. Runs from Perry or Hurricane Hole depending on the day’s conditions.
$209 / ski
The flagship
Most Key West jet ski tours run 60 to 90 minutes. Two hours is what it takes to cover 28 miles around Key West and part of Stock Island at a pace where riders can actually enjoy it.
The route is never quite the same twice. Your guide reads the wind, tide, and marine traffic at the dock and picks the safest, best line for that day.
See the 2-hour tour →How it works
No surprises at the dock. Here is the whole day, in order.
Pick your tour above. Your confirmation includes the exact dock location, arrival time, waiver instructions, and check-in details.
Florida requires drivers born on or after January 1, 1988 to have approved boating-safety education documentation. Drivers who need it can take the FWC-approved Temporary Boater Safety Course online ahead of time ($9.99) and bring proof.
That covers parking, check-in, ID verification, waiver confirmation, life jacket fitting, and the safety briefing. Free guest parking at both marinas.
Your guide walks the group through the ski, hand signals, and the plan for the day, then eases everyone out at a comfortable pace.
Designated open-water riding areas on the 1-hour, or a guided tour around Key West on the 90-minute and 2-hour — your guide sets the exact route for that day’s wind, tide, and traffic.
Rinse off, dry off, and if you rode from Perry, enjoy your complimentary Perry Hotel pool and gym access.
Before you book
Florida law requires a person to be at least 14 to operate a personal watercraft and at least 18 to rent one. Florida law sets the minimum requirements; Six Fins also applies its own guided-tour safety policies — ID checks, passenger rules, guide approval, and safety decisions before departure.
Why six
Plenty of Key West jet ski tours run large groups. We cap every standard tour at six customer skis plus one guide. Here’s what that changes.
The “freight train” format
A real guided group
Who’s leading the tour
Every Six Fins jet ski tour is led by a Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission-permitted guide who knows these waters, tides, and channels.
The lineup
Led by Head Guide Ignacio “Nacho” Olmedo, our guides read your group at the dock and choose the route, pace, and stops to match the conditions. Key West is not a lake — tides, wind, shallow flats, channels, and boat traffic change the ride, and local knowledge is what keeps it safe and fun. Meet the crew →

"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."

Six questions worth asking any operator before you book — including us.
One guide can see and pace a small group. Ask the maximum. Ours: six customer skis plus one guide.
Ask about credentials and how well the guides know local tides, flats, and traffic. Ours are FWC-permitted and local.
A short harbor loop and a 28-mile island tour are different products. Know which one you are buying.
Ours is per ski, with up to three riders sharing one Yamaha WaveRunner VX.
Two marinas give us more options when conditions change. If conditions are unsafe, guests may be rescheduled or refunded according to the booking policy.
Look for a consistent rating across many reviews. Ours: 5.0 on Google with 318+ reviews.
