Makin Waves at Shepard's Beach Resort has built a genuinely loyal following, and it's easy to see why. The staff, particularly Eli, Josh, Tanner, and Jack, get called out by name constantly in reviews, which says a lot about how personal the experience feels. First-timers and regulars alike consistently mention how thorough and patient the team is with instructions, making nervous newcomers feel at ease before hitting the water. The jet skis themselves are described as new and well-maintained, and the riding area gives you plenty of room to open them up. Guided tours are a real highlight here, with multiple reviewers spotting dolphins and visiting a scenic sandbar. The photo package is worth considering too, as guests who grabbed it came back raving about the shots they got on the water. With a rating hovering around 4.5 stars across hundreds of reviews, this is clearly a well-run operation that delivers consistently. The vibe is fun and relaxed, the staff genuinely seems to love what they do, and repeat visitors are common. If you're planning a Clearwater beach day and want something memorable on the water, this is a solid choice.
Eli, Josh and Luke were amazing. The JetSkis they have are new and very high quality. The area you have to run them in lets you have plenty of fun. Really enjoyed this experience and will be back again. Thanks Guys.
