The only one of its kind in Key West
The only 2-hour jet ski tour in Key West — a full 28-mile lap of the island.
The 2-Hour Flagship is Six Fins’ 28-mile guided Key West island tour. A sandbar stop may be possible when conditions, timing, safety, and the guide’s judgment allow, but it is not guaranteed.
Every other Key West operator runs 60 to 90 minutes. We run two hours because that’s how long it actually takes to circle the island, stop at the sandbar, hit the Atlantic side, and still have room to breathe.

Two full hours, the complete 28-mile circumnavigation, a sandbar swim stop, and the Atlantic side — the trip no other Key West operator runs. Brand-new Yamaha WaveRunners, FWC-permitted guides, max six skis per group.
$209 per ski · up to 3 riders · fuel & guide included

What 30 extra minutes buys you
Two hours isn’t just “90 minutes plus a little.”
If you’ve already decided you want a real tour and not a quick rip around the harbor, here’s the actual difference between the two formats.
Loop & return
~14 to 18 miles
- One side of the island, then back the way you came
- One brief photo stop, usually rushed because the next group is staging
- No real sandbar time — the guide can’t spare it
- Atlantic side either skipped or sampled from a distance
- Mangrove channels seen from the entrance, not ridden through
The full circumnavigation
28 miles, all the way around
- A complete lap of the island — gulf side, Atlantic side, harbor, and back
- Real time at the sandbar to jump off and get in the water
- Multiple photo stops including the southernmost-point line from the water
- The Atlantic side ridden, not glanced at
- Mangrove channels actually ridden through, not just past
- Time to swap drivers and passengers if two of you are on one ski
The 28-mile route
What two hours on the water with us actually looks like
Conditions and wind direction can shift the order, but every full lap covers all seven of these. Your FWC-permitted lead guide calls the line based on the day. Wildlife you may spot along the route: dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, nurse sharks, tarpon, pelicans, and frigate birds — the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary teems with life on this run.
Mile 0 · The launch
Hurricane Hole Marina
Quick gear check, route brief, and we idle out through the no-wake zone into the channel. Engines open up the second we clear it.
Miles 1–6 · Backcountry
The mangrove channels
Protected flats and narrow cuts through the mangroves north of Stock Island. Calmer water, shallower color shifts, and the only part of the lap you won’t find on a tourist map.
Miles 7–14 · Atlantic side
Out to the open water
The east-to-south stretch along the Atlantic side of Key West, running through the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Boca Chica and the Naval Air Station Key West coastline pass on your port side. Long, fast lanes with plenty of room to actually open the ski up — the part of the lap riders remember most.
Atlantic side · Look down
Wrecks & reefs
The Atlantic water out here runs clear over patch reefs, ledges, and the occasional wreck. On calm days the guide slows the group so you can look straight down at it from the ski.
Mile ~15 · The photo stop
The southernmost point
The marker buoy line off the southernmost point of the continental U.S. We pause the group here so you can get the shot from the water that the people in line on land don’t get.
Miles 16–22 · Harbor pass
Old Town & the cruise piers
Past Sunset Key, Wisteria Island (Christmas Tree Island), Mallory Square, the cruise ship piers, Fort Zachary Taylor on the harbor approach, and the historic seaport. The view of Key West most visitors never see — from the water, looking in.
Miles 23–28 · Sandbar & return
Sandbar stop and home
A real stop on a working sandbar. Jump off, get in the water, swap drivers if you’re doubled up, then we run the last stretch back to Hurricane Hole.
What’s included
$209 per ski covers everything except gratuity
No fuel surcharge, no equipment rental fee, no “guide tip jar” built into the booking page. Here’s the actual list.
Fuel
All gas burned across the 28 miles is on us.
FWC-permitted lead guide
Every tour led by a Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission-permitted guide who lives and rides these waters.
Life vests for every rider
Approved Type III PFDs sized for every passenger, including kids.
Group cap of 6 skis
Hard cap so the guide can actually flex pace for the whole group — adrenaline seekers riding up front near the guide, leisurely riders cruising back in the pack. Not the 20-ski conga line every other Key West operator runs.
Pricing
One flat price per ski
A Yamaha WaveRunner VX Series carries up to three people. One person or a couple pays the same flat rate — split it however you like.
