Siesta Skis offers a fun, easy way to experience the waters of Siesta Key and Sarasota by jet ski. With new Sea-Doo watercraft, friendly guidance, and a strong focus on safety, they welcome both first-time riders and seasoned adve...
Caleb (also spelled Kaleb in some reviews) is a standout here and gets mentioned repeatedly for good reason. He's knowledgeable, professional, and leads a guided dolphin tour that reviewers consistently rave about. Will and Brandon also come up as great staff members, so the friendly, capable crew seems to be a consistent theme across the board rather than just one person having a good day. The guided tours are clearly the highlight, with multiple guests spotting dolphins and getting an informative look at the surrounding waterways. Rentals without a guide are also available, though a few riders found the navigation a little tricky on their own. If you're not already familiar with the area, booking a guide is something several reviewers specifically recommend. There's one complaint about slow no-wake zones and staff attitude, but it reads as an outlier against an otherwise overwhelmingly positive picture. Flexible rescheduling and responsive customer service before arrival are small details that come up in a few reviews and suggest the operation is well-run from start to finish.
We had a great experience with Siesta Skis! Our family of five rented two jet skis and explored Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. It was lovely! Kaleb was wonderful in explaining everything up front, especially since I had never driven a jet ski before. He also gave great directions to get to the Gulf from the bay. My kids had a blast and we made great memories! We’ll be back next year for sure!
