Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to customers' questions.

Will I get seasick on Key West Original Island Jet Ski Tour?

If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.

Who is allowed to drive a jet ski in Florida?

Under Florida law, participating in any commercial jet ski tour is considered to be renting a personal watercraft (jet ski). Most people who were born on or before January 1, 1988, are allowed to rent and operate a jet ski in Florida waters without any special training or license.

If you were born after January 1, 1988, and need a Florida Boating Safety Identification Card, it is easy to get one with an online course and test at Boat-ed.com. You can take the course and get your temporary Certificate of Completion ahead of time to save time on the day of your tour. Simply bring your Certificate of Completion and a valid photo ID with you on the day of your tour. If you need to take the test before your Key West Original Island Jet Ski Tour, please arrive at the departure point 1 hour early. All drivers must be sure to bring a valid photo ID.

The Personal Watercraft Regulations from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission state that:

A person (over 14 years old) who was born on or after January 1, 1988, must have in their possession a valid photo ID and a boating safety identification card or a temporary certificate issued by the commission in order to operate any vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater. Boating safety cards issued by other states are acceptable.
A person must be at least 18 years of age to rent a personal watercraft in Florida.
It is unlawful for a person to knowingly allow a person under 18 years of age to operate a rented personal watercraft (a second-degree misdemeanor).
A person who was born on or after January 1, 1988, and is at least 18 years old may operate a rented personal watercraft if they are accompanied by a person who was born before January 1, 1988, OR a person who is at least 18 years old and has a Boating Safety Identification Card. The accompanying person must be “attendant to the operation of the vessel and responsible for the safe operation of the vessel and for any violation that occurs during the operation of the vessel.”

How old do I have to be to drive a jet ski by myself?

You must be at least 18 years old to operate a rented jet ski in Florida waters. If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, you must have in your possession a Florida Boating Safety Identification Card (or a Boating Safety Identification Card from another state) along with a valid photo ID to drive a rental jet ski by yourself.

If you need a Florida Boating Safety Identification Card, it is easy to get one with an online course and test. You can take the course and get your temporary Certificate of Completion ahead of time to save time on the day of your tour. Simply bring your Certificate of Completion and a valid photo ID with you on the day of your tour.

How long is the Key West Original Island Jet Ski Tour?

Guests will enjoy a 90-minute action-packed jet ski tour of Key West. As an added bonus you can arrive early at our four-star resort location and relax on one of Key West’s finest private beaches.

Do you provide wetsuits?

Yes, upon request.

Can I save time at check-in by doing the safety test online?

Yes! You can save 30 minutes at check-in by doing the safety test online at Boat-ed.com. Just be sure to bring confirmation that you have passed the test.

This course is for Florida residents and visitors who do not already possess a valid boating education certificate but who wish to operate a jet ski on Florida waters.

Can anyone ride a jet ski on the Key West Original Island Jet Ski Tour?

Almost anyone can go on a jet ski as a driver or passenger. The only exceptions are made out of concern for the health and safety of our guests. Those who CANNOT participate in jet skiing include anyone who is pregnant, under the influence of alcohol or drugs or affected by any medical condition that may put them at risk when operating or riding a motorized craft on the open water.

If all guests on a single jet ski were born on or after January 1, 1988, at least one guest must have a boater safety license. This should be obtained in advance at Boat-ed.com.

We are committed to providing the best Key West jet ski experience and the most fun in the safest way possible and appreciate your respect for our rules as well as for the Florida regulations for boating and water safety.

Are there weight restrictions for jet skis?

Yes, the maximum combined weight on a jet ski is 450 lbs.

The tour was awesome. Jetskiing around Key West was so much fun. Beyond that, Barefoot Billy's was very accommodating by letting my mom (who has some health issues) get a refund when we showed up and she was hesitant to ride on a windy day. Then, my 19-year-old sister started the tour and after two minutes realized it was too intense so she joined me. The tour guide was patient and helpful with this.Overall, amazing experience. Much better jetski experience than what Fury offers in their six-hour water adventure package (we did that too, it was also fun, but Barefoot Billy's was better and had a much nicer team).I highly suggest this if you love jetskiing and want a cool and interesting vantage point of Key West. Don't expect a ton of history/geology/culture from the tour portion, as it was mostly "Here are good places to eat/drink." The experience was more about the ride and the views.

Tyler was our guide, I’ve done JetSki tours on at least a half a dozen islands in the Caribbean and this was by far the greatest experience I’ve ever had a day later I’m still smiling. Many thumbs up. Great job Ty Gracias Muchacho.

What a great time!! We went on our tour with a guide by the name of Matt. He took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable with their jet ski. It was a great day to be on the water and Matt did an excellent job, showing us a good time!!
