Great Jet Skis, But Watch Your Credit Card Statement! The…read morerental experience was actually perfect--the jet skis were fast, comfortable, and 30 minutes was plenty of time. However, I'm rating this 3 stars because of highly questionable deposit practices. They held a $500 incidental deposit for both me and my friend and never refunded it. Luckily, my buddy caught the missing refunds on his statement. While they fixed the issue quickly once confronted, it's alarming that they just kept the money until we said something. $500 would have slipped through the cracks if we hadn't been vigilant.

Just got back from Chicago stand up paddle boarding and honestly had a really fun time. I went to…read morethe diversity harbor location as most of the beaches continue to be closed due to COVID. The view and paddle boarding towards the city is quite scenic and it is cool to be able to merge the thundering city with being on the water. It is right next to a public park so there are many people walking, biking, and having picnics which is also a nice sight, however, on the other side of the park is a highway so that takes away from some of the scenery. There are not great parking instructions on the website but we managed to find a spot hero nearby which was pretty easy. Booking a same-day reservation was not a hassle and you simply fill out a liability waiver on the phone once you get there. I was not super sure about how clean the rented equipment was which could be a concern for some people right now, otherwise the rental process was easy. Some other concerns I had were that they give you a box to store your belongings in, but the box is just sitting out in the back of a trailer and I am not sure how well guarded they were. There is also a very low bridge that I had to lay down to go under, and while I thought it was a fun little challenge others may think of it as a nuisance. Overall, good way to paddle board near the city.

I took advantage of the awesome weather this past weekend to try paddle boarding out on Lake…read moreMichigan. Gotta love that view of city while you're out on the lake! The Good: We scored a Groupon for two hours for two people for $60 bucks. Plus the 20% off Groupon special and that put us right at $48 for two! Not bad and comparable to rates that I'm use to paying back in California. AND.. spectacular view of the city! The Bad: If it's your first time paddle boarding the conditions will have you loving it or hating it. Lake Michigan is comparable to trying to paddle around in an open ocean. Currents can pull you easily one way or another, and you can get some gnarly wakes coming off passing by boats/jet skis. If it's your first time, I'd recommend staying closer to shore until you feel comfortable maneuvering around before adventuring out. Other than that, aside from the choppy conditions, we had an excellent time. The shop is located on North Ave Beach. Look for the Jet Ski and boat rental signs. 'Til next time, cheers!

BEST PLACE FOR MODERATE AND EXPERIENCED BOATERS!!!…read more If you need you adrenaline levels boosted or feel like just cruising the shores of Lake Michigan on a jet ski, but you don't own one, call these guys. Next Wave Watersports rented us (almost brand new) 2 Yamaha Jet skis, for the entire day, so It was our decision where to take them for a splash. After doing the paperwork and inspection of the watercraft, we picked them up (early morning in Alsip, IL) on their trailer, and towed with our vehicle to Diversey Harbor (Chicago), on the lake Michigan. Launched them (dropped them in water - $27 fee, parking included), parked the SUV and trailer, and spent the rest of the day riding on the lake, enjoying magnificent views of Chicago skyline. Returned them safe later that day. We had a blast! IF YOU RENT FROM NWW: - You will lose several hours of your day for operations (pick-up, launching, retrieving, drive back). You pay for rental ($$$depends on PWC you take), deposit ($500 per ski), fuel you burned driving and for ski launch fee($27), if you decide to take them to Chicago Harbors. You need to take extra caution when towing, launching and retrieving skis, as well as when being out on the water! Every rental place(including NWW) will charge you for damages caused to the skis ($$$ per inch), so you need to take extra caution. Note: IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER OR RIDER WITH LOW OR NO HOURS ON A JET SKI, GO RENT @ OTHER (PER MINUTE) PLACES. Why? -Because you will most likely feel dead after 30 min - 1 hr of riding the jet ski. Not many people are physically fit to ride these water monsters, you need strong muscles! RENTING FROM OTHER PLACES: There are other places offering "per minute" Jet Ski rental, conveniently located on beaches, nice and easy! Well yes, but with rental fees much steeper ($100-$150) per hour. None of them offer entire day rental, and you have limited area (imaginary boxes) where you can ride. You don't pay for fuel, launch fee! July 2019, Experienced boater

Don't go here unless you want to have a $500 charge on your credit card just to ride a jet skiread more
