How rentals work in the Keys
Every rental comes with a guide
In the Florida Keys, rental companies cannot simply rent you a jet ski and let you ride wherever you want. Instead, other rental companies escort you to a small confined riding area that you must stay in. Doing circles in the same area gets boring after just a few minutes.
With us, your jet ski comes with a local guide who takes you places: hidden mangrove tunnels, open water, the reef and the world famous Islamorada sandbar when conditions allow. You captain your own jet ski, up to 26+ miles in 1.5 hours: plenty of opportunity for full throttle fun!
Prefer an easier pace? Drive a catboat instead.

The route
Explore up to 26+ miles of the Florida Keys
Take the controls of your own jet ski as our experienced guides lead you through the beautiful waters surrounding Islamorada. Depending on conditions, your adventure may include winding mangrove channels, open-water riding, wildlife viewing, the famous Islamorada sandbar, or destinations near the coral reef and Alligator Reef Lighthouse.
Every tour is different. Our guides select the route based on weather, wind, water conditions, and the experience level of the group, balancing exciting riding with opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the Florida Keys.
Two tours you drive
Pick your ride
You drive, our guide leads the way. Choose the excitement of a jet ski or explore Islamorada aboard our exclusive premium HyperGlider catboats, offering a unique combination of performance, comfort, and stability.

Catboat Tour
Take the wheel of your own premium two-person HyperGlider catboat. Enjoy an exciting, stable ride with side-by-side seating as you follow our guide through the waters of Islamorada. 16+ to drive.

Equipment
Our jet ski fleet
We maintain the newest fleet of premium Yamaha VX model waverunners in the Florida Keys. Our current jet skis are 2027 models.
Unlike most rental outfits that buy the cheapest stripped down rental models, our fleet consists of higher end versions with neutral and reverse, reboarding ladders, and waterproof gloveboxes.
On the tour
Mangroves, open water and the sandbar
Why a guide
See the Florida Keys instead of one small piece of them
Our guides aren’t there to slow you down. They’re there to show you places you’d never find on your own while safely navigating the ever-changing waters of the Florida Keys.
Never been on a jet ski? We’ll teach you everything you need to know before leaving the dock. Experienced riders usually appreciate that they aren’t confined to one riding area.

Me and my now Husband went to the Keys for our Honeymoon, but our other excursions kept getting canceled due to lack of booking. I had one last excursion left that had not been canceled and that was with Spray water sports doing the jet ski guided tour. I called them to see about moving it around time wise to see if the other companies could still get us in to do snorkel or fishing. He offered multiple different times, mentioned they do not have a minimum so even if we are the only booking-we would still get to go out on the water, and then last had the option to just book our snorkel sandbar tour with them. We decided to do both snorkel/sandbar and then jet skis with them. Jet skiing was sooo much fun. We have never done them before so it took about 10 minutes to get comfortable with the throttle but our guide Aaron was a professional so he was very helpful. They even took our pictures so I didn’t risk dropping my phone in the water and then air dropped them to me at the end of the tour. Every so often Aaron would take us through the mangroves and would converse with us which was nice and personable. We saw sharks and jelly fish. 15/10 recommend booking any excursion with Spray!!!!

This tour was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment of checking in the woman going over everything with us was detailed, funny and informative.Our guide on the water was just as amazing and funny. He took pictures and videos of everyone.The tour it’s self is a mix of calm and then full throttle which was more than what was expected.

We had the absolute BEST jet ski tour today with Mary! She was so kind, knowledgeable and fun!! We are visiting for our honeymoon and we were lucky enough to have a private tour since no other guests scheduled at the time. With perfect weather conditions, we were able to hit Alligator Reef and the sand bar. Shoutout to Jack who also gave us a beautiful, fun group tour earlier in the week where we saw dolphins and a manatee! We highly recommend Spray Watersports as they never fail to give you an amazing time out on the water. We’ll see you next time!

This jetski experience was a great time from start to finish.They explained everything clearly before we got on the water, so I felt prepared and not overwhelmed at all. Safety-wise, they made sure everyone knew what they were doing, which I appreciated.Our guide Aaron was amazing—super patient, informative, and made me feel comfortable right away. He didn’t just lead the tour, he actually made it an experience, pointing things out and keeping it fun the whole time.Overall, it was smooth, fun, and well-organized. Definitely a 10/10 experience—I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get out on the water and actually enjoy it.

Jet ski rental questions
No. In the Florida Keys there are no true explore on your own jet ski rentals: rental riders are escorted by a guide to a designated riding area offshore and must stay inside it. We chose to focus exclusively on guided tours because we genuinely believe they’re the better experience.
So every jet ski rental with us comes with a local guide. You drive your own jet ski for 1.5 hours and up to 26+ miles, through mangrove tunnels and open water, with stops like the sandbar when conditions allow. Prefer an easier pace? Drive a catboat instead.
Yes, our tours are suitable for all skill levels! Our knowledgeable guides provide a safety briefing and basic instructions before starting, so even first-timers can feel comfortable and enjoy the ride.
Safety is our top priority. We ensure that all equipment is well-maintained and provide life jackets to all participants. Our guides are experienced locals trained to handle any situation on the water.
Our jet ski tours are 1.5 hours long. Each tour includes a jet ski, life jacket, and an experienced guide who will lead you to the best spots while sharing insights about Islamorada’s unique landscapes and history.
Yes, children aged 6 and above can join as passengers.
Florida law requires all persons born on or after January 1, 1988 to hold a valid boater’s safety license to operate a boat or jet ski. Temporary boater’s safety license tests are not available on site, but can be easily obtained by taking a brief 25 question multiple choice test (typically 10 to 15 minutes) here: Florida Temporary Boater’s Safety License. The test costs $14, allows for free unlimited pass attempts, and is valid for 90 days. Boater’s safety licenses from other states are considered valid in FL if marked “NASBLA approved”, not expired, and in the driver’s physical possession at our office.
If born on or after January 1, 1988, please complete the online course prior to your scheduled check in time and bring proof (either printed, or on your phone) for verification. Passengers do not need boater’s licenses or IDs.
