Get out and see the world!
Let our local guides show you around the best parts of Wilmington via the intracoastal waterway. We head north from CB passing through Masonboro Island, around Wrightsville Beach, up to Figure 8 around Masons Inlet and back for a total around 40-50 miles round trip! You will get up close to $5-$10 million dollar homes & yachts as we cruise through the Wrightsville beach marina. We can stop on a barrier island for a swim break and explore for native wildlife, shells and sometimes even sharks teeth! Want to bomb some waves in the ocean, we can do that too! Our guides will make sure you make memories to last a lifetime! We do require at least 2 skis and maximum of 5
Tours Available at 2:30 on weekdays & 8:30am on weekends
PLEASE CHECK-IN 30 MINUTES EARLY so we can prepare you for your adventure. The time slot you reserve is your actual riding time. Our instructions & safety briefing are NOT part of your time and will take approx 15 minutes after you have checked in. Arriving less than 30 minutes early will most likely cut into your riding time as we usually have a sold out schedule.
-
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR ENTIRE GROUP ARRIVE 30 MINUTES EARLY FOR YOUR RESERVATION. If you arrive late, it may cut into your actual riding time. We are very busy most days and cannot push back other groups because of your tardiness. Our instructions and safety briefing take about 15 minutes and NOT part of your riding time. Your time doesn’t start until you are leaving our dock the jet ski!

FAST! Our skis are capable of speeds up to 55 mph depending on rider(s) weight and water conditions. We only operate new model YAMAHA VXs. High Output TR1 3 Cylinder 4-stroke engine with 120 HP (not available on older models). Our jet skis do NOT have speed limiting governors as some of the “other guys” in the area. We guarantee our skis are the fastest jet skis available to rent in Wilmington, North Carolina.
-
All of our jet skis will accommodate three riders and have a weight limit of 400 lbs. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend one rider per ski. No more than two adult riders per ski, or two adults and a small child. Each ski rented is for that rider, or couple. No switching or sharing with other parties allowed.
THE MORE WEIGHT ON THE JET SKI THE HARDER IT CAN BE TO DRIVE
-
Rental is for single rider. Additional rider is $10.
-
Absolutely! We make sure you are confident in riding, understanding the area, and safely operating the ski before sending you out. We explain every aspect of operation and safety and answer any and all questions you may have.
