Are there any extra charges besides the rental time?

Fuel used during your jet ski rental is charged when you return at the current on-water price. Weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and holiday rentals also have an additional per-hour charge.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Plan for changing weather when you book. You won’t receive a rental credit for bad weather unless the on-site manager deems conditions too dangerous for equipment use; if so, you’ll receive a rental credit to use another day.

Review summary

Very Good

489 reviewsGoogle Maps

Waterfront Adventures has built a loyal following with repeat customers returning summer after summer for boat and jet ski rentals. The staff consistently earns praise for being friendly, helpful, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. Greg and his team, including instructors like Justin, go out of their way to make sure customers feel comfortable and informed. The equipment gets good marks too, with boats featuring swim platforms and plenty of storage, while jet skis are generally well-maintained. A few visitors mention timing issues where their actual water time felt shortened by instruction periods or mechanical delays. Some first-timers found the pre-ride briefing a bit overwhelming without written materials to reference. The location in downtown Kirkland is scenic and convenient, with nearby restaurants making it easy to round out your day. Most customers leave thrilled with their experience and eager to return.
