Super Fun

Zipping around on a jet ski was the highlight of our trip! We had an amazing time exploring Biscayne Bay, getting up close to the massive ships at the Port of Miami, and cruising past the stunning mansions of the rich and famous on Star Island. The staff was professional and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Can't wait to come back and do it again!

Had an absolute blast with Miami Jet Ski Rental! The jet skis were in great condition, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the bay. We felt safe and had plenty of space to ride around and enjoy the views. It was the perfect way to experience Miami's beautiful star island waterways, and create some unforgettable memories! Highly recommend!

Great Time!

During our recent Miami vacation, we embarked on an unforgettable kayaking experience in Key Biscayne Crandon Park, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Exploring the intricate mangrove forests and winding waterways on our kayaks was an absolute delight. The calm and serene environment made us feel like we had discovered a secret haven.

Kayak Rental Mercy R. Dolcen

We booked this experience while on vacation and it was lots of fun. The double kayak and paddle boards provided are in very good condition.

Celebrity Homes Tour Sarah

We decided to join this cruise last minute after taking a hop on hop off bus tour. The cruise departure point was near me at the time of being drop off the bus, so it was a quick walk. The vessel is well maintained, and the tour around the mansions is fantastic. The Miami sightseeing cruise lasted about 90 minutes, which is just the perfect amount of time to see everything.

Coolest Adventure

One of the coolest adventures Iā€™ve taken during my stay in Miami. The tour guide is amazing and extremely funny. The driver cared about the passengers and did a great job as well. I had no idea the same vehicle would be going into the water so it was a real adventure just like a duck! My family enjoyed the trip as well and I highly recommend this trip to everyone in town.

– Spencer Lemmon

So Much Fun For Double or Single Flyers

My group and I were in Miami for a bachelorette party, and going parasailing was on our bucket list. We all had such a great time. The views while up on the air are breathtaking. Best Key Biscayne water excursion. Make sure to get their photo package!

Nice

The boat ride out to the Atlantic Ocean was great. We got to see dolphins on our way to our launch site. This was a big plus as we were not expecting this. My sons had a great time. We will be doing their jet ski rentals next week with them. Highly recommend parasail in Miami.

– Mike Bergmans-Smith

This was the best thing we did while in town. The departure location was super easy to find. Unfortunately, there's not free parking but there are many paid parking lots in the area. Jet Ski Rental Miami was amazing. My entire family had a great time! Great Service! We will be doing this trip again when we return back from Key West next month!

Memorable Private Boat Rental

Our recent private boat rental in Miami was an unforgettable experience that elevated our vacation to a whole new level. Having a boat all to ourselves allowed us to set our own course, exploring the stunning coastline and hidden coves at our own pace. The boat was immaculate, well-equipped, and the crew provided us with excellent guidance, ensuring a safe and enjoyable voyage. If you're looking for an exclusive and personalized way to experience Miami's coastal beauty, a private boat rental is the way to go, and we can't recommend it highly enough for a truly special and intimate adventure.

I recently had an exhilarating water tubing adventure, and I can't stop raving about the sheer excitement of it. Being pulled behind a powerful boat as I held on for dear life was an adrenaline rush like no other.

Great Experience

My recent Miami water activity was an absolute game-changer. From the moment I stepped aboard, the friendly and knowledgeable crew set the tone for an exceptional experience. The breathtaking views of Miami's iconic skyline, up-close encounters with celebrity homes on Star Island, and the unexpected wildlife sightings made it an adventure like no other. The guides' captivating narratives added depth, and watching the Miami sunset over Biscayne Bay was truly mesmerizing. The onboard amenities and hospitality were impeccable, making this a must-do for anyone visiting Miami. I can't recommend this water activity enough; it's a memory I'll cherish forever.
