Miami Jet Ski Rental Tickets: 1 Hour with Pontoon Boat Ride

About this experience

Miami Jet Ski Rental Tickets: One Hour on Biscayne Bay Book a Miami jet ski rental and spend a full hour on the open water of Biscayne Bay, with the downtown Miami skyline on one side and Miami Beach on the other. The experience lasts two hours in total. It starts with a 20-minute pontoon boat ride from downtown Miami to the spot where you pick up your jet ski, passing Miami Beach and the Venetian Islands on the way, and you return by boat at the end. A professional instructor and a life jacket are included, and the guide speaks English or Spanish. It is an easy way to get out on the water without renting a boat or finding a place to launch a jet ski yourself. Each booking covers one jet ski for one hour. A second person can ride with you for an extra $30 if you arrange it by phone 24 hours in advance. What You See from the Water The activity starts in the Bayside Marketplace area at 401 Biscayne Blvd, next to Bayfront Park and the Miami Wheel. On the boat ride out you pass the Miami cruise terminal and the Venetian Islands, the chain of small islands along the causeway between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Once you are on your jet ski, you explore the bay with views of the South Beach and downtown Miami skylines and the celebrity homes along the shore. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, manatees and manta rays, which all live in Biscayne Bay. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, so treat them as a bonus. Who Can Drive and What to Bring Children aged 10 and over can join as passengers. Young people aged 16 or 17 can drive with a guardian, and you must be 18 or over to drive alone. Bring a valid ID that shows your date of birth. Under Florida law, anyone born after 1 January 1988 needs a temporary boating certificate to drive a jet ski. You can buy it online before your trip, and its exam fee is not included in the price. Wear clothing that suits the weather, and bring sunscreen, a towel and sunglasses with a safety strap. Wheelchairs, strollers, luggage, smoking and pets are not allowed on this activity. It is not recommended for pregnant women or for people with heart or back problems, seasickness or other medical conditions. How Your Booking Works Call the operator 24 hours before your activity, using the phone number in your booking instructions, to reconfirm your booking, pay the fuel fee of $60 per jet ski and find out exactly where to meet at Bayside Marketplace. On the day, check in 45 minutes before your start time. If you arrive late or miss the activity, you will not get a refund. The jet skis go out in any weather conditions that the operator considers safe. Cancel for free until 24 hours before your visit date and get a full refund. Rescheduling is possible until 24 hours before your visit. More Ways to Enjoy Miami from the Water If you want more time on the bay, the Miami boat tour with jet skis, tubing and open bar turns it into a half day out with friends. For a calmer trip past the same waterfront homes, take the Biscayne Bay celebrity homes cruise or the Miami Beach sunset cruise. To see wildlife further inland, the Everglades airboat tour with alligator show is a popular half-day trip. For more ideas, see our guide to things to do in Miami.
