We had a great experience overall. Initially there was an issue with our booking. We rented 1 pontoon and 2 wave runners. 1 of the wave runners was scheduled for pickup in a different location, which had us fretting at first. The staff was able to adjust the reservation to the location we were at and all was well. They even compensated us the additional time on the water that it took to make the correction. The deck crew was polite and knowledgeable. This was our 2nd time at this location and we would be happy to return for future rentals.

Update: the owner responded to my review in a very professional way. Between his response and the 3 gentlemen I now know this company operates professionally and maybe the attendants in the hut were just having an off day. Due to the continued professionalism I have update my review to 5 stars! My wife and I rented Jet Skis from this company on July 4, and overall, we had a great experience. The booking process was easy, and when I accidentally made two reservations, they quickly processed a refund for the duplicate booking without any issues. I wish I knew the names of the three gentlemen who gave the safety briefing and helped everyone on and off the Jet Skis at the end of the bridge. They were friendly, personable, professional, and incredibly helpful. They truly made the experience enjoyable, and they deserve recognition for their outstanding customer service. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because of the attendants at the check-in hut. They seemed overwhelmed and gave the impression that checking customers in was an inconvenience. The check-in process also moved very slowly, which made the wait longer than it needed to be. Despite the slow check-in, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would still recommend this company to anyone looking to rent Jet Skis.

We rented Jet Skis and this place was great. Alexa and Bean were so great for checking in and making sure we were all set, and then the guys getting us on the jet ski and instructing us were so kind and helpful. Excellent service and instructions; we had a great time.

We rented jet skis from Destin Parasailing and had an awesome experience! The staff were super friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy and fun. The jet skis were in great condition, and we had a blast out on the water. Definitely recommend them if you’re in Destin and looking for some fun on the water!

FAQ

How old do you have to be to drive a jet ski in Destin?

You must be at least 18 years of age to operate a jet ski or Waverunner. Passengers of any age are welcome to ride along, but the driver must meet the minimum age requirement per Florida state law.

How much does it cost to rent a jet ski in Destin, FL?

Our jet ski rentals in Destin start at $89. This includes all safety equipment and a full tank of fuel so you can make the most of your time on the water.

What type of jet skis do you have?

We use Yamaha 4-stroke jet skis that are expertly maintained by our in-house mechanics. Each jet ski seats up to 3 riders, not exceeding 400 lbs total weight. We take pride in having the most well-maintained jet skis in all of Destin.

Do I need a boating license to rent a jet ski in Destin?

Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to have a valid boater safety education ID card to operate a jet ski in Florida. You can easily obtain a temporary boating license online before your rental.

Is safety equipment provided with the jet ski rental?

Yes, we provide all the safety equipment you need for your jet ski rental, including life jackets. Our expert mechanics ensure every jet ski is operating in prime condition before each rental.

Can I ride the jet ski to Crab Island?

Yes! Our location offers the shortest distance to Crab Island and the smallest no-wake zone in the area. This means you spend less time idling through the harbor and more time enjoying the ride on open water.

Destin Jet Ski Pick-Up Docks — Parking & Check-In

Skis stage at three harbor-area docks — everything below gets you from the parking lot to open water without a hitch.

Find Your Departure Dock

The dock you ride from follows the rental option you choose at checkout — it’s shown on the booking screen and repeated in your confirmation email.

Destin X on the Harbor: 214 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 898-1204
Skis stage right here at our harbor dock. Get directions

Xtreme H2O of Crab Island: 7 Calhoun Ave, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 978-3060
Ride out from the bridge-side launch — the shortest run to Crab Island. Get directions

Gilligan’s Watersports: 530 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 650-9000
Rentals also go out from the dock at 530 Harbor Blvd. Get directions

Parking

Destin X (214 Harbor Blvd): on-site customer parking covers one vehicle per booking, first come, first served. Extra cars park free at 310 Mountain Drive or for $15 at 285 US-98 W; RVs and trailers use the paid public lot across the street.

Xtreme H2O (7 Calhoun Ave): public parking sits at the Destin Marina right beside the dock — it fills up on peak days, so ride together when you can.

Gilligan’s Watersports (530 Harbor Blvd): free parking on the property, first come, first served, with overflow spaces at 531 Mountain Drive.

Check-In

Driving? Get ahead of the line: take the Florida temporary boater test online before you arrive — every driver born on or after January 1, 1988 needs the certificate, and finishing it early makes check-in easier and faster. The $3 NASBLA test is also offered right at the dock if you’d rather; just budget extra time. Then be dockside 45 minutes before your rental with a photo ID for every driver — the crew handles life jackets and the safety rundown.

Pack smart: reef-safe sunscreen, a hat that stays put, a waterproof pouch for your phone, and a small soft-sided cooler — leave the glass at home.

Very informative and friendly!
Did the jet ski rentals with a bunch of friends and it was amazing! We even saw a few dolphins while riding. Mark and Jeff made the experience very enjoyable.
