Anytime of day is a great time to ride a jet ski… However, here some suggestions to describe how to choose the time of day that is best for you…

  • Afternoon (11am -4pm) – This is the height of the “action”.  If you want to be out riding Midday is the time to do it.

Late Afternoon (4pm-8pm) takes the cake. The water generally starts to calm, boat traffic diminishes and the sun starts going down on yet another beautiful day in the city surrounded by lakes.  Absolutely breathtaking!

Yes.  As long as the riders are both 18, and have filled out a waiver and taken the temporary boaters safety course, you can take turns driving … switching at a designated point with the help of our friendly customer service guides.
