The full island, in a single ride.
Twenty-eight miles. The whole circumference of Key West. The backcountry side, the ocean side, the channel under the Cow Key Bridge, and every piece of coastline in between. Two hours, six skis max, one certified guide setting the pace.
This is the tour no one else in Key West runs. The mega-fleet operators top out at 90 minutes because they can’t keep groups together over the distance. We cap groups at six skis — that’s how we keep it together and how every rider gets a real experience.
First-timers welcome. Your guide will get you comfortable in the harbor before you open up in the channel. By mile five you’ll be riding like you’ve done it for years.

What people who took this tour say.
"Manny gave us what basically turned into a private tour around the entire island, stopping to point out landmarks and even take photos for us. Made it a memorable part of our honeymoon."
"JJ was outstanding — professional, focused on safety while keeping things fun. When weather delays forced us to shift our start time, he went above and beyond. Two hours around the island — spectacular."
Before you book.
I’ve never ridden a jet ski. Is this okay for me?
Yes — about 60% of our riders are first-timers. Your guide gives a full safety brief and dock-side coaching before you leave the harbor. The first 15 minutes are at no-wake speed. By the time you open up in the channel, you’ll be fine.
Can I ride double with my partner?
Yes — every Yamaha VX seats 2. Combined weight max 400 lb. No extra charge to ride double; you book one ski for the pair. Driver must be 16+ with photo ID.
Do I need a Florida boating license?
If born after January 1, 1988, yes. 30-minute online course on-site (we have iPads), $9.99 fee, temporary certificate lasts 12 months. We handle it at check-in.
What if the weather’s bad?
We call by 8 AM. If we cancel for safety, you get a full refund or free reschedule. If you cancel less than 24 hours out, our standard policy applies.
