Highlights
  • 700 Waddell Ave - Begin your tour on the pristine, uncrowded south end of Key West. Your expert guide provides safety instructions on your Yamaha personal watercraft (PWC), providing you with the confidence to get the most out of your guided tour.

Billy only goes with the best which is why he rides on a Yamaha. Your new Yamaha PWC provides an unbelievably comfortable ride, even at 45 mph, while providing top-of-the-market handling and maneuverability.

Get ready for the ride of your life as we set off for an exhilarating ride around the island. Your 26-mile guided tour completely circles the island of Key West, a task that’s impossible for most watercraft.

During your jet ski tour, you take in breathtaking views of Key West’s backcountry, see the famous Mallory Square from the water, and watch for marine life like sea turtles and dolphins frolicking in the Caribbean waters.

Learn about the history of Key West during stops along the way, including the Southernmost Point, historic Key West Bight, and Sunset Key. Relax or play in the water while we stop at a deserted sandbar. Bring your waterproof camera for great photos!

Great tour and good fun! - Great fun during the entire tour. Having 15 minutes to free wheel around the bay area was awesome. Our tour guide engaged everyone and made sure were safe and hiving a great time. The benefit about using Barefoot Billy's is being able to load from the beach and get acclimated to the jet ski in the beach area.

Excellent Jet Ski Experience - Excellent jet ski experience. I was concern the “tour” component would limit us, but not at all. Our guide Tyler made sure to give only the essential instructions and didn’t spend a lot of time talking which gave more time for riding. Ample opportunity to go as fast as the jet skis would allow (75 km / 45 mph) and length of tour was just under two hours which was perfect. Highly recommend this tour group for all ages. Showers and towels afterward a thoughtful touch.

Fun and thrilling - Great tour. Our guides Jeff and Gio were great- funny and informative. Combination of choppy (sporty) seas on Atlantic side and flat water on Gulf side provided mix of fun and challenge. Probably better to rent two jet skis instead of having passenger on back.

Barefoot Billy’s is an excellent choice - We lucked out and were the only people to have booked the morning tour. We got a private guided tour for regular price. Our guide Jeff was excellent, and was very respectful of our never having been in a jet ski before (respected our wishes in choppy waters). The experience was fun, although slightly scary at times, and they do a great job of making you comfortable on the jet ski. Thumbs up
