Miami Tours and Water Adventures

What is the Ultimate High-Speed Jet Ski Adventure in Miami?

The Ultimate High-Speed Jet Ski Adventure is our signature open-water ride on Biscayne Bay. The $210 rate is per jet ski for one hour, not per person, with fuel, expert instruction, and safety gear included. Jet ski tours are shared with other guests; private jet ski tours are available with a minimum of 4 jet skis.

Who It’s For

Who is the Jet Ski Tour for?

Riders who want open throttle on Biscayne Bay, not a slow harbor cruise. First-timers are welcome, with instruction before you launch.

  • Thrill-seekers: Open-bay routes past Virginia Key, Downtown Miami, and Star Island when conditions allow.
  • Solo or two-up: One jet ski, one hour. Ride the full hour solo or share it with a second rider.
  • First-time riders: A dockside briefing and on-water coaching before you open the throttle.
  • Not the right fit: Prefer a relaxed cruise or a private boat day? See our Private Boat Tour.

The Experience

What does a Miami jet ski tour feel like?

After a quick briefing at the dock, you are off. The route opens on Virginia Key, then pushes toward Downtown Miami, with the Port of Miami cranes framing the channel. Fisher Island and Star Island fly past when conditions allow.

This is not a slow harbor putt. The Ultimate Adventure is built for open throttle and open bay, guided by a crew that knows Biscayne water and adjusts the route for wind, traffic, and USCG safety zones. Curious what you will pass? Our Miami boat tour sights guide covers the islands and landmarks along the way.

What to expect, from booking to dock

  1. Reserve your date: Book online. Your exact marina, arrival time, and captain contact arrive in your confirmation email.

  5. Return to dock: Your crew debriefs the ride and checks the ski back in.

Went for a quick snorkel trip during a work trip to Miami. The crew was super fun and professional and we had everything we needed to have a great time! Super knowledgeable about the local area and where to see wildlife. Also loved that we took the long route back to see all of Miami from the bay. Would recommend!!

The kindness, courtesy, and hospitality Mario and Nico showed my family on our first ever snorkeling adventure was amazing. The explanation of the process and the patience Nico exhibited made the experience enjoyable. Nico was a great captain on our private boat tour. Very personable. I couldn’t swim but he jumped in the water and was the guide for myself and family so we could experience the beautiful sites under the water. The cost was reasonable and definitely worth it (the tour and snorkeling). A must do!

Captain Nico and Javier! Mucho gusto por su hospitalidad. You made our last minute booking comfortable and fun for our family of 4 under 7. From snorkeling to sandbar we saw dolphins, a manatee that swam right under our boat, HUGE conchs and so many cool creatures. For those of us that were hesitant you were patient and encouraging. Thank you for everything. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Captain Erik was so much fun! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the marine life in the area! While snorkeling we saw conch and stingrays, lots of fish including red tailed snapper and yellow tailed snapper! My husband saw a small nurse shark hiding in the reef and on the way back to the dock we saw dolphins!!! 5 stars!

Felipe was personal, friendly, and very patient. You can tell he enjoys this job. I had a 10-year-old son with me snorkeling for the very first time. My son was so comfortable with him that he held on to the float and snorkel while Felipe dragged him in the water. It was a private boat tour and snorkel. Beautiful view of all the high rises and Felipe filled us in the history. Thank you Felipe for making it memorable.

We had an absolute blast! We booked a 3 hour private boat and we could not have asked for a better experience. Booking the experience was easy, we were met as soon as we arrived and escorted to our boat. Captain Erik was excellent and professional and a really nice guy! He was knowledgeable about the area, we felt safe, he took us snorkeling and was always on top of safety and giving us the best experience. We saw Manatees, we saw dolphins. Erik gave us everything and more! We had time to snorkel as well as swim at the sand bar as well as touring around Fisher Island and all along the coast. Erik could not have been better. We were so lucky to have gotten him as our Captain. Highly recommend. Three hours felt more like five. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much!
