What To Expect
Our 4-stroke Yamaha waverunners offer uncompromising power on the water in Destin. They seat up to 2 adults (up to 485 lbs) or 1 adult and 2 small children. If you want fast acceleration, superior handling & stability, or even the sheer thrill of experience of fun in the sun. Come experience it first-hand by renting from us. With flexible rental options and safety as a top priority, we ensure every rider feels confident and ready for a memorable time on the water. Whether you're a first-time rider or an experienced adventurer, we deliver an exhilarating experience you won’t forget.
Note: Driver must be at least 21 years old, with a VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. If they are born after January 1, 1988, they must also have a NASBLA Boater's License. Each "Traveler" Ticket is the rental of a waverunner, not per passenger.
Those who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 can operate the boat but are required to take a Florida Boaters Test. If you were born before Jan 1, 1988 you do not need this license. We recommend you taking this ahead of time, otherwise you could miss your departure time.
