Description
Jump on one of our Yamaha Waverunners and cruise around the island on a 28 mile, 90 mins guided jet ski tour. Look out for an array of Florida Keys’ wildlife as you speed your way through our Caribbean waters. Breathe in the excitement as you race from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and back to the Atlantic.
The two-hour jet ski tour begins with safety instructions from friendly, expert guides, who will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to help you get the most out of your island jet ski experience.
Once you are comfortable with riding your jet ski, you will follow your knowledgeable guide on your personal jet ski for 28 miles, completely circumnavigating the island, a task impossible by most watercraft.
During your jet ski tour, you will take in breathtaking views and watch Florida Keys marine life frolicking in the Caribbean waters. While cruising around the island, your guide will make five stops at various points of interest, such as The Southernmost Point, Historic Key West Bight, and Sunset Key.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

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.
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.”

Keywest original island jet ski tour

This was my husband's and my first time the guys were great. We were the last ones through out the tour cause we were slower. I highly recommend this place for your tours
This is the best JetSki Tour in FL

We have rented with other companies in Keywest and this was our absolute best time. From the ease of parking and check in, beach, and amenities, we needed nothing while we waited on the tour. Parking with other tours you either pay $20-$50 or can’t even find parking. Best part of the whole tour was the 20 minute ride on your own in a totally open area. This allowed my daughter to get use to the controls at her own pace. This was also a really fun time to practice turns and going fast for me. Juan was our tour guide and he was awesome! He used his own phone to take pictures, gave us a great tour stopping along the way telling us about the islands. He made the whole tour worth it and was way better than our guides at other companies. We gave double the tip because we were so impressed. It wasn’t just Juan that made it great, it was also the person who checked us in, super friendly. We will be recommending this to everyone we know. You hit it out of the park!! Adam Arnold

Amazing tour, worth every penny. A good tour for a seasoned driver as well as a beginner. Equipment was well maintained and worked properly. Tour guys were very friendly, especially Milo!Tours start out by bringing you to an open area in the Gulf where you can get used to your machine for about 20 minutes. You can drive a slow or as fast as you wish.After that you circumnavigate Key West by 1st visiting Boca Chica Key. After that, you pass under the Route 1 bridge and enter the Atlantic ocean. From there you head South past Smathers Beach, Fort Zachary Taylor, Mallory Square, and Sunset key. After passing the point you turn North and head back into the Gulf towards towards the place you started from. We were told this was a 26 mile trip.Shuttle service easy to Book and convenient. Worth every penny very highly recommended.

We had a group of 10 and couldn't have had a better experience. Dave and Ivan gave us a great tour and really made it an enjoyable and exciting experience. It was a very knowledgeable and humorous tour with a lot of fun and speed in between. We will definitely be doing it again next time we're in town.
