My wife, 17 yr old son and I just returned from the most exhilarating and beautiful ski tour with Brandon. The Beach Jet Ski operation is very smooth and in a great location on Clearwater beach. Brandon took us through the intercostal waterways at 30 mph ( when not in the no wake zones). He stopped and pointed out a baby dolphin that swam by us briefly. We rode past lovely mangrove covered island. He found a safe area for us the ride free for about 10-15 minutes. We zipped around and he took a bunch of photos of us. We finally ended up at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico at Hurricane pass. The waves were big and we jumped a few waves. Overall a complete blast! I highly recommend it. read more

We booked this as the last thing we did before getting on our plane. When you sign up, they are very clear about being on time and cancellation policies so pay attention to those. I was worried about the traffic backup on the Clearwater Memorial Causeway but we booked our appointment first thing in the morning for the two hour tour. This was an excellent decision as by the time we got out onto the water it was starting to get quite warm and you are required to wear a life jacket and so it can get hot. We brought flip flops but we stored them in the compartment in front and rode barefoot. Also, the Bay where you begin was like glass making it a lot of fun for experienced riders and brand new riders. The guide that we had was fantastic. He really wanted the new riders to be comfortable and the experienced riders to have some fun. He explained things very well. He allowed more experienced riders to ride in the back and do figure eights and other tricks while the new riders rode behind him. I am a small person (5'4 and 120 lbs) and didn't have any problem handling the jet ski on my own. I would recommend riding your own ski. If you want to do sight seeing tour, let your guide know. If you want a riding tour, let them know. They adapt it to what the group wants. The person with the most people in their group will decide what you do so keep that in mind. We did a little bit of a tour in the bay but then we headed to Caledesi Island where we saw a dolphin. If you want to see dolphins or wildlife I would recommend the first tour as they are more likely to be active during that time. Then we headed out into the ocean. We spent about 1 hour in the Bay and about 1 hour ocean riding. We stopped at one island and got a drink, took some pictures and collected some cool shells. Then we headed back. We didn't have any problem collecting our deposit. We let them know about getting back for our flight and we had no problems. If you follow their rules, there aren't any problems and everyone has a good time. Also, the Walgreens right next to their docking area has the best price on tourist Clearwater T-shirts if you're wanting to pick up some of those. If you're looking for more of an ocean riding experience, I would contact them and see if that would be available. If you want a nice mix of Bay riding, touring, ocean riding, island seeking then this is the tour for you. read more

Tristan was our tour guide and he did a very good job escorting us around the Gulf! Everyone was very friendly, super kind and overall very good to us! We definitely recommend them for a reasonably priced jetski tour. They even offer to take your picture with an incredible view behind you. Tristan knows his angles with a camera for sure. Worth every penny! read more

This is an excellent jet ski rental service that provides riders an extensive tour at rates that may seem expensive but are well worth the cost. Riding a jet ski is something of a cross between horseback and motorcycle and a superior way to experience the ocean, much better than being pushed or pulled via boat. You're the captain of your craft and the proprietor gives you the leeway to get a full ocean experience using the machine. The tour takes you along the ocean coast and through bay areas. The guide looked for various ocean wildlife but was unable to find any, other than birds in bay areas. The proprietors are friendly and helpful. If you call ahead you may land a discount coupon too. As mentioned in another review, there are "hotdoggers" who run wild when they're on the jetski, despite explicit instructions given by the proprietor before and during the rides. Be aware to steer clear of these fools. Not only do they endanger other tour riders, they also screw up the machines, delay the tour because they inevitably create problems and difficulties, as well as mislead other riders. Again, the tour proprietor attempts to warn people of the dangers if the rules are ignored. Our tour was delayed for over an hour and a half as a couple idiots first ran their jet skis into an off limits area where the machines got tangled in seaweed/seagrass. Then, after the repair they ran the jet skis aground, causing another stall and delay as the machines were again tangled in sea grass. These same morons, because they pulled into the lead spots earlier, had mislead the entire group off course. Follow the lead of the guide, moderate your speed to your experience level, and enjoy the ride. Fools always cause problems. Even though the idiots had delayed the tour we were still given the full tour of sites we wanted to see. After the ride the morons were angry the proprietor wanted to charge them for the over 90 minutes of delays they'd caused. The proprietor relented but would have been fully within his rights to slam them with extra charges. read more

Review of Clearwater Beach Jet Ski Rentals and Guided Tours So fun! Hands down, my favorite part of my jet ski tour was Jamons knowledge and expertise about the area and the wildlife. The jet ski i rode was quick and responsive. Jamon took many action shots of me jetting around and stopped to show me wildlife: various birds, sharks, manatees, etc. I meet the owner and his wife as well. Great people and a well run business! read more

We did a last minute booking and it was awesome! Ron was so informative about the area. The Jet Ski's are new and had some get up and go! We got the picture package rather than risking taking our cell phone. We received 2 pictures with frame and a keychain with another pic as soon as we were done and will receive the rest via email. Highly recommend! read more

We had a great time! Jesse brought us out as our tour guide and gave us a great experience

Excellent ! Jamin was a great tour guide. Very down to earth people, really enjoyed our day on the water

We had so much fun! Our family of 6 went for 2 hours. We saw numerous dolphins, saw celebrity houses and had a great time exploring.

Was really nice riding around Clearwater with Art and the rest of our group. Jet skis were in good condition and the views were great. Dolphins! read more

We did a 2 hour tour and our guide was fun and kept us on our toes. He was so familiar with the water and the route we were taking. I had a amazing time. These guys are wonderful! read more

In early December, I booked the 2 hour Dolphin Jet Ski tour for my son and I for 11am Monday, December 26. Well, it was 45 degrees out, and my son and I decided we would brave the cold and go anyway since we were so looking forward to the tour. SO GLAD WE DID!! This company demonstrated great customer service from the start, hooking us up with an extended parking code. Our tour-guide Brandon was fabulous...we were the only ones on the tour that morning, and he made sure we were thoroughly familiar with the jet skis and the flow of the tour. He took photos and video of my son and I which was awesome because my hands were too frozen to work a phone! He checked in on us often and left it up to us to cut the tour short when he noticed we were both starting to shiver. He found a pod of dolphins despite the cold water and even got video of them jumping out of the water and playing! So magical! I will recommend this place to EVERYONE and I am already looking forward to doing this tour again in April for my birthday! Thank you Brandon and everyone at BJSR!!!!!! read more

Great experience and tour. Great tour guide. Really enjoyed it. Loved the hello kitty jet ski :)

They were so informative with locations. No pressure to rush in the two hour tour. Excellent photo package for an additional very resonable fee. Ron and Stefan were our guides and did more then excellent job at keeping us safe while having fun. read more

Although I'm leaving a review in December, our rental was back on May 11, 2021. We had a fairly large group so it was split in two. Reason I mention that is because that meant each group only got one guide that rode out in front. For safety reasons it would make a big difference imo for a guide to be in front and in back of the group. We also noticed that the machine my wife had her accident on actually had an expired registration from the previous month (04/21). The reason I mention that is as I'm not sure if keeping the registrations current involve any safety checks but the jet-ski that hit my wife had a driver jump off and the safety shut off cord tied to his vest actually broke when he jumped leaving the key in the machine and it kept running. As the group approached a low tide area, Mark asked the group to get in a single file and sped off into the distance as the lead. As the group got in a single file, a member with our group hit into the back of the jet-ski in front of him striking my wife as a passenger on the rear. Mark was about 300 yards in front and did circle back after the accident. My wife was unconscious in the water face down. Members of the group were able to get her to a sand bar as she regained consciousness. She was bleeding from the mouth and later determined it was from her teeth biting her cheek but at the time nobody knew the extend of her injury. Mark claimed he was a nurse (he wasn't at the time although he was studying to be one) and proceeded to medically evaluate the extent of her injuries. She complained of rib and back pain. Mark estimated it was a bruised back and recommended she get on the back of his jet-ski where he could meet a friend at shore and they could take her to the hospital. Luckily, members of the group had more sense and one had his cell phone and contacted the Florida Water Police where she was mobilized and taken by water ambulance. She had multiple breaks in her back, ribs and a partially collapsed lung. Thank God she wasn't transported back on the tour guides jet-ski. She may have never walked again if she had. Please understand the operator risks and in renting jet-ski's and plan for an emergency with protocol ahead of time. We were shocked at the poor decision making and lack of protocol during her emergency. The caller to 911 (member of our group) had to physically explain the location by describing the shoreline in the background. A simple GPS coordinate system seems like that would be easy enough to have in place by the guide. As they went later towards the evening, after the accident the group was stuck riding back in the dark for about 25 minutes using cell phone lighting while riding uncomfortably close to large boats. Why not have a few strong emergency lights or park the jet-ski's at the closest shoreline and get the other members to safety? The bottom line is that there is heightened risk in these types of activities you may choose to do on vacation. They can be fun but just remember things can go wrong and make sure a good plan is in place by the operators. My wife is out of danger and mostly normal but still has aches and pains and limitations from her jet-ski tour. If we hadn't experienced this accident I believe it would have been a good tour otherwise and I'm truly not leaving this bad review to hurt or revenge Clearwater Beach Jet-Ski Rentals business but rather to have the tours be more safe by having better emergency planning in place. read more

So I have used this company twice and both times I had an awesome experience!! The first time I went on the tour by myself and got to see so much of the area. We explored the groves in Caladesi Island and stopped off opposite Honeymoon Island where I found some awesome shells. The second time, my husband came with me. He is usually the type of guy who just wants to race up and down the ocean, but he really enjoyed the fact that this was more of a tour and you got to see so much. We also had dolphins swimming around us three times!! It was fantastic! We stopped on Honeymoon Island, but didn't get to go into Caladesi because of the low tide and so we came back on the beach side. Art the owner is awesome! He makes sure everything is super safe and that you have a fun riding experience. This is the perfect company for families! Highly recommend!! read more

We did 2-hour jet ski tour with John. We are very active family doing various excursions and activities everywhere we travel. By far, this was Best customer service we ever received - provided by our guide John today. We were shown everything and more that was promised; John was super nice and knowledgeable. I felt safe sending my 16 year old kid to drive the jet ski on his own for the first time. This business was selected based on extensive research I put into checking out the many places that offer water sports. They've been around for long time and very customer oriented. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Good times! we had a blast with the jet ski rentals. Our tour guide was excellent! he was highly knowledgeable of the marine aquarium and estates around the area we visited. stopped on a shell island for the kids to pick up some cool shells for souvenirs. read more

My husband and I took a 2 hour private tour with Art, and we had a great time! The tour was fun and Art let us pick our pace (this was my first time on a jet ski and I was initially a little nervous). Booking was easy and available online, and a confirmation was sent right away. Would absolutely recommend! read more

We were there in late July and my fiancé and I were the only ones that showed up that day so Logan was our tour guide for just the two of us. He did an awesome job. He gave us a great tour with a lot of great pictures and although he did not find a dolphin for us he did find a shark!!! Will definitely go again when we are back in Florida. Thanks Logan! read more

I can't stress enough what a bunch of scammers this place is. Not only was I lied to about the price on the phone and they refused to take my reservation, then found out the prices were double after getting there. After a brief argument about being lied to on the phone agreed to pay the extra charges. I then got my receipt before stepping on a jet ski realized they had actually charged me triple the amount not double. This is by far the worst business around and should be shut down before other people get scammed. Also was told that it is a 1mph tour with a tour guide. Waste of time!! Oh if you're under 27 you must take a 25 question test before getting on a jet ski. Was told it can take about half hour to complete even though you will be following a tour guide the whole time not going faster than 1 mph. Again I stress what a waste of time this has been after driving almost an hour to get there. Everyone including the owner on the phone was very unprofessional and didn't understand why I was upset about all these extra charges. We went there because it was the only place that said they had some jet skis available but now realize why none of their jet skis were not rented. I highly suggest no one ever go there. read more
