Had a blast, jets skis go... - Had a blast, jets skis go fast and instructor stays in distance but you still get to roam around freely

Fun - Was a nice way to burn a couple of hours. 45 minutes on the jet skis followed by a beer and a snack at the adjacent bar/restaurant. Just know if you take the kids, they have to be atleast 18 and take an on-line course to drive the jet ski. Tour guide guided us out to jet ski sight and let us loose. It was comforting the family to know he was keeping an eye on us just in case we had issues. And he even took some pics of us and texted to us after the ride which was an unexpected nice surprise. Worth the time and money.

First time jet skiing - It was absolutely amazing, I’m someone who typically doesn’t like to be that deep in the ocean but whilst on the jet ski I felt no danger at all and after watching how the instructor rode his jet ski I just tried copying what he’d do and it all came naturally for me I was standing, laying down, making hard turns and everything at full speed having the time of my life, the instructor also went out of his way to get video recordings and photos of me and my partner while we were jet skiing which was really cool of him as well as him just being a really cool dude, the only negative part of the experience I could say which was more so my fault and I didn’t even notice till later on is be careful not the let the handlebars chafe on your skin while driving, had been aware of it though and readjusted how I was holding the handles it likely wouldn’t have happened, but the whole experience itself was AMAZING!

The best experience i’ve ever had! - This was my first time on a jet ski and when I say i’ve never had that much fun a day in my life. The workers were super friendly and very helpful. My safety was their number one priority and it shows! I will definitely return!

Loads of fun - Really enjoyed learning to ride. I wish I could mention the young Hispanic man that assisted us by name but completely forgot it😭 My 9 year old was terrified of the jet ski ride and had to go back to docks and he was nice enough to ride her around a little to try and get her used to riding. She was still too scared to continue but it was very nice of him to try. I was very grateful. Was very fun and enjoyable over all.

Go Somewhere Else. Rude Owner and Tacky Property with Several broken Jet Ski's - This experience was not as good as we had at a different water sports business there in South Padre Island. Our appointment was set for 1pm. We arrived at 1:05pm. They MADE us wait until 2:20 to go out. They keep several broken jet ski's out in the premises where we would get on the skis. The other customers and us were discussing that we did not want the one with a torn seat. It looked tacky and shows how they care/dont care about their business, let alone their customers. The owner, who is on the premises, a very tan, middle aged woman, is not welcoming or friendly. They taught us that when we want to sit still without moving straight, we are to not give it gas, and to turn our Stiring wheel to the left or right so that we can idle in a circle. This poor young man decides to do this, but he didnt realize that he was too close to a building. The jet ski barely touched the building and the owner screamed at him from the top of her lungs...HEY, WATCH OUT!! Then her male employee yelled at him too. Rather than asking, are you OK? They decided to yell at their paying customer. The jet ski did not have any damage and they knew this. The poor guy barely touched the building bc he quickly stopped it by quickly turning his steering wheel. There are other options for water activities. We've tried others there, but my husband made this appointment and I was OK with it bc we do like to give others a chance....never again. Bad customer service and tacky property.
