This family-run operation on the sound earns consistent praise for its welcoming, professional approach to water sports rentals. The owners and staff get special mentions for being friendly and helpful, with clear safety instructions that make first-timers feel comfortable while keeping things relaxed and fun. Several reviewers appreciated that rental time starts when you actually hit the water, not during the safety briefing, which is a nice touch. Jet skis are the most popular rental here, though paddleboards and kayaks are available too. The riding area is in the sound where the water stays waist-deep and warm, perfect for families and beginners, though experienced jet skiers might find the restricted area a bit limiting. The location offers beautiful waterfront exploring, and there are shaded picnic tables for anyone waiting on shore. Walk-ins sometimes work out, but booking a few days ahead is smart. The resident dogs, Ginger and Daisy, apparently add some extra charm to the whole experience.
We had a fun time! They were flexible with us adding two more jet skis at the last minute.
