Locally owned and family-operated since 1996, Myrtle Beach Watersports invites Greetwell guests to discover the Grand Strand the way locals do—by water. Founders Steve and Shawn still welcome riders dockside, supported by guides w...
Staff members like Steve, Zac, Chase, and Sean consistently earn praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and going above and beyond to make first-timers feel comfortable. The location operates on the Intracoastal Waterway near Grande Dunes, offering a calmer environment that's ideal for beginners compared to open ocean riding. Equipment quality gets solid marks, and reviewers appreciate the convenience of free parking and easy access. Early morning bookings seem to provide the best experience with fewer crowds and smoother water conditions. The waterway setting means you're riding in a channel rather than open water, which some find perfectly relaxing while others expect more space to really open up the throttle (jet skis max out around 35 mph). Water conditions can get choppy later in the day when boat traffic picks up, and there's limited room to avoid wakes from other watercraft. A few operational hiccups pop up, like one incident with a fishing line and occasional confusion about age requirements for solo riders. The dolphin tour gets fantastic reviews, though spotting wildlife in the channel isn't guaranteed. Overall, this is a well-run operation with a friendly crew that makes both newbies and experienced riders feel welcome.
If you book for early in the day, you'll have a better experience. We booked 9am and it was just us out there 95% of the time. We had the best time. I would do it again. There's an enclosed space on the jet ski for your shoes or bags and another smaller one more easily accessible for your phone. Everyone who works there was so helpful and kind. I highly recommend this business.
