Your adventure begins at Pier 5, where the team will welcome you for check-in and provide your safety equipment. Before getting on the water, your professional guide will explain how to operate the jet ski, review essential safety rules, and introduce the route so you can feel comfortable before departure.
Once you're ready, follow your guide onto Biscayne Bay and experience Miami's waterways from the water. Along the way, enjoy views of Downtown Miami, the waterfront, surrounding islands, and some of the area's most recognizable scenery.
Depending on water and operating conditions, the route may include views around Fisher Island, Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, and other scenic areas of Biscayne Bay.
A Guided Miami Jet Ski Tour, Not Just a Rental

The experience is suitable for both first-time riders and guests who already have experience operating jet skis. You'll still enjoy the excitement of riding while having professional guidance throughout the tour.
