    The staff here are genuinely the highlight of this place. Richie and the team consistently get called out for being friendly, patient, and professional, and the safety briefings are thorough enough that beginners feel comfortable getting on the water. Multiple reviewers mention the check-in process being quick and smooth, which makes a difference when you're trying to maximize your time on the bay. The rental options are solid, covering jet skis, paddleboards, pontoon boats, electric Duffy boats, and speedboats. One reviewer did note the boats are getting a bit older, though they still found the experience well worth it at this price point. Equipment is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, and staff are on hand to help with docking when you return. Long-term repeat customers are a recurring theme here, with several reviewers mentioning they come back trip after trip. The flexibility also stands out, including accommodating early arrivals when equipment is available and working with guests who need to cancel. If you're looking for a low-stress way to get out on the water in San Diego, this spot delivers reliably.

    Blown away and completely satisfied with the service at Action Sports. Good prices, friendly staff, great vibe; but more than anything they handled a moment that could have been a vacation bummer with such expertise, grace, and professionalism that I would absolutely recommend them. Shout out to Richie and Ace at rental and Kimball who saved the day.
