★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 641 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $169

Follow a guide around Key West on a modern Sea-Doo, reaching speeds near 45 mph as you pass the Southernmost Point, Fort Zachary Taylor, mangroves, and sandy coves. The $169.95 price covers one Jet Ski for up to two adults or one adult and two children, within the 460-pound limit. Guides such as Kyle, Wyatt, Stephanie, and D are praised for clear instruction and steady leadership.

“Our tour guide, he said to call him D like the letter. I didn't catch his full name but he was fantastic. It takes an amazing guide to handle 5 newbies on jet skis and keep us from flipping over or getting lost. My husband and I are celebrating our honeymoon and today was his birthday so it made it extra special to do this tour because he has always wanted to go on a jet ski. Even though there were some parts that terrified me out there D did a fantastic job at making sure we had fun.”

5.The Original Key West Island Jet Ski Tour from Barefoot Billy’s

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 350 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $155

Ride a Yamaha personal watercraft on a guided 26-mile loop around Key West. Guides such as Tyler, Juan, Asher, and Cole lead mixed-skill groups with safety stops, full-throttle stretches, island stories, and freeplay at a sandbar. The tour lasts about 90 minutes and suits beginners as well as confident riders.

“It was fast! The swells were pretty big but it was really fun. Hadn’t really ever ridden wave runners much before, and never in the ocean. At first I was a little hesitant but as long as you go at least 25 you get up on a plane and it’s easier to control. Was able to maintain full throttle most of the time. The tour guide Tyler was knowledgeable and very nice. We had 5 people in our group. Perfect size.”

(and 90 photos) We started my boyfriend’s 30th birthday celebration with jet skis and it was the most perfect experience. Highly recommend riding in the morning while the heat is bearable and waves are smooth. It was our first time riding but with Phillips guidance and instruction we didn’t fall while still hitting high speed. If you’re an over thinker and reading every review like I did on “which jet ski company” this is your sign!”

“Our jet ski experience in Miami was absolutely fantastic! Captain Abraham and Lucas made it even more memorable with their professionalism, friendliness, and sense of adventure. From the moment we hit the water, everything was smooth and exciting. The ocean was perfect, and the views of the Miami skyline were breathtaking. Abraham ensured we felt safe and confident, while Lucas added fun, making sure we enjoyed every moment. Whether it was cruising at high speed or taking in the serene waters, it was an exhilarating mix of thrills and relaxation. We had a blast and can't wait to do it again! Highly recommend this duo for a top-tier Miami jet…”
