FreeStyle Riding Area

One of the best things to do in Carolina Beach is a “Freestyle” jet ski adventure along our five-mile stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway, including Snows’ Cut. This calm “Bay” or sound area is perfect for exploring, and offers plenty of space for safe riding. At Nearly 200 feet wide or more in most locations, the intracoastal water way is not subject to strong wave action like the open ocean. On busy days, you can expect small chop from other boaters and jet-skiers. Your instructor will explain the designated boundaries to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride. Staying within these boundaries protects you from hazards like sandbars and sharp oyster shells, which pose massive safety risks to both the watercraft and the operator and passengers!
You’ll still have more than plenty freedom to explore, enjoy the scenery, and experience the thrill of riding your jet ski, all while staying within a safe, monitored area. Adventure awaits — safely!

Ocean Riding

With proper permitting conditions and an approved guide, you may have the opportunity to take your jet ski into the Atlantic Ocean for an incredible riding experience!

Ocean riding offers breathtaking coastal views and the chance to see dolphins, sea turtles, and other local marine life. It’s an exhilarating way to experience the Carolina Beach coastline from a whole new perspective. However, ocean conditions can vary and this ride can be physically demanding.

For your safety:

  • Ocean access is available only with a CBJSR guide and staff approval
  • Additional guidance and safety instruction will be provided
  • Participation is always at staff discretion based on conditions and rider ability

If this experience is something you're interested in, please select the proper add-on option when making your reservation.

Important: Ocean riding is strictly prohibited without a guide. Entering the ocean without permission will result in immediate termination of your rental without refund. If conditions at the time of your reservation are not permitting for operating in the ocean, you will receive a refund of additional charges and revert back to a normal free style rental.

When conditions allow, this ocean experience is one of the most exciting water activities in Carolina Beach, NC — and an adventure you’ll never forget.
