We offer a 5 Mile riding area for “Freestyle” riding. You are free to ride & explore that riding area as fast or as slow as you want to go!

This being our 10th season, we have it figured for you the best & safest experience possible, bring your family to make memories that will last a lifetime!
Please remember to arrive 45 minutes early so we can prepare you for your adventure – if you arrive late, it may cut into your rental/riding time. Safety instruction for your time slot will begin 25minutes prior with or without you. If you are late, you will have to wait until the group briefing it is over to start your safety instruction and will most likely cut into your riding time…
A credit card, in your name, is required for a damage deposit. Additional renters within your group will be required to provide their own credit card for their damage deposit for their jet ski (except spouses & kids) Without the credit card deposit, you cannot rent a jet ski.

Please reserve enough jet skis for your group. Each additional rider is $10.00. Each jet ski rented is for that customer or couple, NO trading or switching with other friends or family will NOT be allowed unless there are multiple children with limited adults.

FAST! Our skis are capable of speeds up to 55 mph depending on rider(s) weight and water conditions. We only operate new 2019 YAMAHA VXs. New for this year, the 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.
-
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.
