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
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.
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.”

Amel B, Jul 2021 Verified
From start to finsh the reservation process is straight forward, quick, and easy. Upon arrival you'll be greeted by the staff who will walk you through the whole process before juping onto your jet ski. The tour guide is extremely knowledable with the keys and local attracions, shops, etc. He will lead you out through your tour stopping at ceertain points of interest. We absolutlely loved the fact that they give you serval minutes to free ride before continuing the tour. The water was beautiful, warm, and clear. I would highly recommend this tour.

They did a great job letting the faster riders go in front and slower in the back. Had a great time!!!
For the strong and adventurous
Joy T, Jul 2021 Verified
Manatees, dolphins, small reef shark, Pablo Escobar’s old house- we weren’t expecting these! The guides were extremely helpful and attentive for these jetskiing first timers and it was challenging to keep up. Driving a jet ski for the first time at 40+ kph on open, choppy ocean was exhilarating and challenging! Not for the weak or too young
Great time!

Barrett and Ivan did a great job as guides! They gave us a lot of interesting information about Key West and made the tour fun. Lots of good energy. We all had a great time!
