What if I cannot swim?
US Coast Guard approved Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) are provided to all our customers and must be worn for the entire duration of your ride. These PFD’s are designed for Jet Ski (PWC) activities and to keep your head up above the water. You do not need to know how to swim and it is important to remain calm should you find yourself in the water.
What attire do I wear to ride a Jet Ski, Kayak, or Paddleboard?
Make your experience as comfortable as possible by wearing beach attire (something you would swim in). Don’t forget to bring your sunglasses, a towel, sun lotion and clothing to change into after the water activities.
