Everything you need to know before your adventure

Booking & Reservations

Do I need to make a reservation?
We highly recommend booking online in advance to guarantee your preferred date and time. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability, but weekends and peak season fill up fast.
How do I book?
You can book directly through our website by clicking any 'Book Now' button — it takes you to our secure booking system where you can choose your activity, date, and time. You can also call us at (443) 664-6180.
What is your cancellation policy?
We recommend canceling at least 24 hours before your scheduled rental for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a fee. If weather forces a cancellation, we will work with you to reschedule.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome! However, availability is not guaranteed — especially during peak summer weekends. Booking ahead is always your best bet.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards. Payment is processed at the time of booking through our secure online system.
Can I book for a large group?
Absolutely! For groups needing multiple jet skis or pontoon boats, contact us directly and we'll help coordinate your adventure.

Jet Ski Rentals

How old do you have to be to ride a jet ski?
Passengers must be at least 5 years old. Drivers must be at least 16 with a valid photo ID. Drivers under 18 need a parent or guardian signature.
How many people fit on a jet ski?
Up to 3 people per jet ski — two adults and one child is the recommended maximum. Weight capacity is approximately 450 lbs.
Do I need experience?
No experience needed! Our guides provide a complete safety and instructional briefing before every ride. They accompany you on the water the entire time.
Do I need a boater's license?
No boater's license is required. Maryland regulations require a certified guide to accompany all jet ski rentals, which we provide.
Are life vests provided?
Yes — life vests are mandatory for all riders and are provided free of charge in all sizes.
How long is the ride?
Each jet ski rental is 1 hour of ride time. You should arrive 15-20 minutes early for check-in and your safety briefing.
How fast do the jet skis go?
Our brand new jet skis can reach speeds of 40+ mph depending on conditions and rider weight.

Pontoon Boat Rentals

How old do you have to be to drive a pontoon?
The driver must be at least 21 years old with a valid driver's license. No boating experience is required — we provide a full orientation before departure.
How many people fit on a pontoon boat?
Up to 10 people per pontoon boat. All ages are welcome.
Are pontoon boats self-guided?
Yes! Unlike jet skis, pontoon boats are self-guided. You're the captain — explore the bay at your own pace.
Can we bring alcohol?
Yes, alcohol is permitted on pontoon boats. The driver must remain sober at all times — no exceptions.
Can we anchor at Assateague Island?
Yes! You can anchor near Assateague Island to watch wild horses, swim at sandbars, or just relax. This is one of the highlights of a pontoon rental.
What's included in the rental?
Each rental includes the pontoon boat with canopy for shade, life vests in all sizes, a full safety orientation, and free parking at our location.

Safety & Weather

What safety measures do you have?
Safety is our top priority. All jet ski rides include a certified guide. Life vests are mandatory for jet ski riders and available for all pontoon passengers. Our equipment is inspected daily.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We monitor weather conditions closely. If conditions are unsafe, we will contact you to reschedule your rental at no additional cost. Light rain typically doesn't affect operations — we're open rain or shine unless there are dangerous conditions.
Can I ride a jet ski if I've been drinking?
Absolutely not. You may not operate a jet ski or pontoon boat under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. This is strictly enforced for everyone's safety.
