I did not have a good experience here. I had booked a dolphin tour in jet ski for my son and I (14). The day of, my son decided he didn't want to go so I went solo. I had gone to check in and was told that this other gentleman had a waiver and I needed to sign. Then a bunch of people came and I was pushed aside. I was last to be signed in and then everyone was on a jet ski except me. They gave me a list of rules. I was reading them and was told not to read them just initial bc they were going to go over it. Then they sent me to get my life jacket and they were already going over the rules. They then told me to stand on the doc and listen to the rest of the instructions. Everyone else was on their jet ski. It was hard to follow how to even operate it without being on an actual jet ski. Fortunately it's pretty simple. Then, when we finally got on the water, there was really no tour. The tour guide was so far ahead the whole time. It was like he was practicing tricks and doing his own thing. He took us back in the bay and said he saw a dolphin. Every time I looked he was like "op you just missed it behind you." So we didn't see dolphins with the tour. Then he set us free for 30 minutes. I did have fun riding the jet ski but could have just rented a jet ski. Also I got yelled at aggressively by a tour boat for going to fast in a slow area. She accused me of trying to kill someone and threatened to call the coast guard. I was so embarrassed bc I did not know that I was not supposed to go that fast in that area. Excuse me, I'm from NM where we don't have much water. . So anyway, I didn't feel adequately prepared for this tour. I think it needed to be much more formal of an orientation. When I told them this afterwards, they said, "I'm pretty sure we went over that in the beginning ma'am." Seriously! I had a stack of $20's in my pocket for a tip. I'm an avid tipper. I left no tip. This company really needs to consider customer service. I felt like a second class citizen. Btw, I had an amazing experience experience at Wet n wild right next door for parasailing. *The girls behind the counter were nice. read more

Had a wonderful time today went parasailing with the family and friends and the crew was so helpful they explained what to expect and went very smoothly awesome crew can't thank the guys enough for making us feel safe and comfortable. read more

See all

These guys were amazing! I have wanted to go parasailing for years but never been brave enough to try it. I recently lost 115lbs and have found a new confidence I didn't have before. I'm still overweight so don't let that stop if you've wanted to go! The two guys on our boat were extremely nice and patient with me. I was scared especially since I was going alone, but they took excellent care of me and I had the time of my life! Definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to go! read more

Booked 3 jet skis for today, the address and directions were so confusing. I called the number that was provided on my confirmation ticket. I explained to the lady where I was because I'm not from down here and she says " oh no your far away and said their address is 7 Calhoun Ave, Destin, FL 32541" alright. boom, we drove those extra 10 mins down the road. I get there and the lady explains that we're at the wrong location we're suppose to be at "210 Harbor Blvd". Well why tf would you tell me to come here if you knew it wasn't the right location. So we turned around and went to the second location, we get there the attendant that waited on us was nice, but a smidge rude. She asked if anyone of us was born in 1988. :/ we are all clearly in our 20' and 30's. Then she asked if we had a license. And since we didn't have a license we couldn't go out because she doesn't have time to give us a test because she know we will not be back in time because they are booked up all day. We asked for a refund she stated she doesn't know when we would get it back because tripshock is a horrible place to book anyway and once it's out of this hands it's nothing they can do. Ridiculous!!!! I then get an email saying my refund will process within 7-10 business day then it would be sent out. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! read more

I guess your overall experience will depend on whether you incur in damage charges or not. I spent a great hour riding their jet ski with my friends but unfortunately I had a little accident where my friend's jet ski scratched my rental on the right side, next to a repair patch from I guess a similar incident. I knew I was going to be responsible for the damage as I was not insured for it. They did not offer insurance either. I was expecting something like $150 to $200 in damages but as soon as I pulled in after my ride, they said "this is going to be expensive". The person in charge called the owner and got back to me after a few minutes with a $800 damage repair estimate. I was able to get it down to $600 but really? Is that really the cost to get the jet ski fiberglass body repaired? and that is assuming they actually repair it instead of adding another $5 patch to it. Again, I'm not on that business so I don't know the actual cost to repair a fiberglass piece. Just be warned. Homeowners nor car insurance will pay for it. Credit card purchase coverage won't pay for damage on rentals either. Personal Umbrella policies will typically have jet skis over 50 hp in their exclusion list and won't cover damages on the equipment. Maybe there is a rider on a travel policy that might include coverage but as of this review I am not aware of a good financial back up to cover unexpected charges. Ride at your own risk. At the end, I see it as it costs me $695 for one-hour jet ski rental. read more

Xtreme H20 - That scratch on the side came with a $800 damage repair estimate. Lowered it to $600 but still, that was expensive! - Boat Charters Near Me - Destin, Florida

We rented jet skis here a couple weeks ago. The staff was easy to work with gave us a helpful overview on how to operate the skis. It was a smooth day on the water and I was able to get up to about 50 mph. I would definitely rent from them again. read more

Had a great time on waverunner tour, the guide said he'd take pics and send them to us so we didn't bother taking any. He even got off the waverunner and pulled several of us together to get pics. I called 4 times requesting them and my sister called once, never received them. Do not trust them to send you your pictures, very disappointing! read more

Will was our guide and I can't remember the captains name but they were both great. We went today 8/3/19 and it was fun. My son loved it, he was a first timer as well as my mom. We felt safe and secure and they even stopped and pointed out marine life in the water for us. read more

Me & my 3 kids went parasailing (was the kids first time) with Will & Chris. Had a great time & pictures they took were nice quality pictures. Will come back. read more

Absolutely horrid experience. We were in a group of 6. All of us were charged between $300 and $950 EXTRA for "damage" during the hour and 10 minutes we were out. The tour was supposed to be 1.5 hours long, we saw no dolphins, and the employees were sooooo rude. DON'T come here!! Look into other options. I will never return. read more

Very Professional. Went Parasailing was up in the air for more then 10mins. Would definitely use them again next year.

Excellent place to rent a jet ski, go on a dolphin tour, or go parasail. We had a great time jet skiing and would use them again for sure. I do prefer Just Chute Me for when I want to parasail, just because of how wonderful the couple operating it are. read more

My family and I had a wonderful time. Craig answered my phone call. We navigated right to location and hopped on our pontoon. We relaxed for 4 hours. Went to crab island, watched parasailing and wind surfing. What a great experience! Will rent from here from now on. Thanks for making our family vacation out of this world. read more

We had a good time with Xtreme H20! From the pleasant girl who took our reservation the night before, to the team that checked us in and the tour guide. All pretty laid back and efficient experience. As a bonus we weren't even passed the bridge before we saw Dolphins, and we saw tons of them. One safety note, it gets pretty crowded with all of the jet ski's and other dolphin tour boats so it makes it hard to take pictures. While trying to get a shot of dolphins, a tour boat started bearing down on me so had to abandon the picture. No real drama just crowded at times and you need to pay attention. The guys in the tour boats might find it hard to see you on the jet skis. After about 45 minutes or so of watching dolphins the tour guide gave us another 45 minutes on our own to ride around on jet skis. Really fun experience! read more

Love this place! Would definitely come back in the future! We did did jet skis, dolphin tour, and parasailing with them. We had such a great experience! I was super scared for the parasailing mainly because I'm afraid of heights but captain lee was awesome & so was jay I had the best time they reassured me & made me feel safe. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have fun for good prices and be out in the water!! read more

Extreme H20 accommodated us with our party of 12 on one of their newly acquired pontoon boats. Their location was easy to get to and the service was top notch. They made our trip to Crab Island a memorable one. We will definitely be back next year!! read more

Has a great time very fun professional they will walk you through eeery step, I can't wait to go back. My only suggestion is to make an appoinment read more

Had never been parasailing until here and it was totally worth it. We had a blast with the staff Amber and Lee! They even stopped and let us view some dolphins and it wasn't even a dolphin cruise. Such sweet people, highly recommend. read more

Extreme H2O is a top notch water sports rental facility! They will be our "go to" source for future rentals when visiting Destin. My family did parasailing for the first time and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, from answering all our questions to accommodating our requests. They provide competitive prices and outstanding customer service. They made a same day reservation for us and then Andrew did significant amount of coordination by phone to have all three parties in the boat arrive a little earlier in order to get our parasail in before some bad weather arrived. Andrew and their boat Capt then proved they were true professionals on the trip by not only ensuring the parachute and individual harnesses were rigged safely (even correcting a minor issue on the chute very quickly after initial deployment), but also having the procedure on the boat down like clockwork. Andrew performed flawlessly while performing simultaneously the duties of rigger, photographer, and host/tour guide. The boat Cpt proved his 21 yrs of experience by expertly piloting the boat and keeping the riders safe in the air as well as helping Andrew when needed. He ad Andrew both kept the trip engaging as well by keeping the conversation lively and telling us about other local attractions. We will definitely go back the Xtreme H20 in the future - friendly, good prices, and most importantly professionals! read more

My family and I rented a very nice and clean pontoon boat here. It looked brand new. Has to be the closest rental place to Crab Island. And their rates are the best. The guys were great and even helped us load up the boat. We will definitely be back for another boat ride and maybe even some jet skis. Can't wait to go back. read more

Had a fun day parasailing although the service was disappointing. Once we were out on the boat we got told they didn't have a memory card for the camera (we had purchased the photo package for $120 for two people and it was my birthday present). They offered to use my phone however none of the pictures saved which was disappointing. When I brought it up to the people at the desk they apologized saying they had just received the memory card in like it wasn't a big deal. I'm a local and won't be using this company anymore. read more

Horrible experience. Came here to rent jet skis & as my sister was taking her test, Walker, a docking man walked up to the table my family was sitting at and slammed his hand on our table in the middle of my entire my family and told us we were disqualified for cheating. He said she had pictures of the study guide on her phone even though her phone wasn't close to her during the entire time so there's absolutely no way of her cheating. After trying to explain this to him, he then put his hand out for all of our phones to go through and look for pictures. Of course we aren't handing our phones over to an 18 year old that was very rude to us. We walked up to the desk & offered our phones to the sweet ladies that kept apologizing for his behavior but legally, they couldn't do anything because we were already disqualified. Which was understandable. I wrote this for the simple fact that i found this young man was very disrespectful to my family after he slammed his hand on our table and i felt it needed to be known. read more

We rented the jet skis one weekend and I really don't have a complaint. Went back and rented a pontoon boat. Horrible is all I can say. None of the gauges worked. No radio. It had a 50 horse power Mercury motor that felt like it was stuck at 20mph. Broken down and overpriced. They even said the price was more because it was Labor Day weekend. Go elsewhere! read more

The wave runners were a blast with great instructions! Such a great deal!

We were extremely satisfied. We parasailed with our son and we had a wonderful experience! Highly recommend them!

Our family of six chose Xtreme H2O for both wave runners and parasailing while staying in the Destin area. They don't always have someone to answer the phone right away, but they will call you back! They also have two locations, very close to one another, but they only parasail out of one, so be sure you have the address. We ended up getting the wave runners at one location and parasailing at the other location. The wave runners are brand new every year and will sit up to three people, and they go fast! Up to 50mph with two people on one. Parasailing was a cool experience, the crew was safety minded, fun, and informative on the area. I would highly recommend this place for your water fun read more

Parasailing was awesome. The captain and guide were very fun and personable. They work off of tips so please tip em what you can. I was not able to use my jet ski reservation because my fiance got very sick. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a refund. But I do still have the boarding pass saying we paid. Hopefully, since we have those and paid $120 for two jet skis we never took out and this 5* review they will be cool enough to let us make it up if we come back to destin. If you're looking at renting a PWC, allow time to get a boating license (20 min) and choose this place because it's close to the harbor exit so you have the least amount of no wake time and more high speed fun. Thanks guys. read more

We are extremely pleased with the service and equipment the guys and galls there were awesome we had a blast drove from Ohio for our vaca. And we couldn't have asked for anything better. Cody Clark a local turned us on to this place and they are definitely great. read more

We had such a great time here. They are so nice and informative and will help you get set up quickly. Location is also great, can get out of no-wake zones faster than most places. read more

These guys are pros. They did everything they said they would do and they were friendly and professional on our parasailing excursion. My family of five had a terrific time, would go back and do it again with H20 in a second. read more

Awesome! We called up, got 7 ski's quickly for an hour each. Very reasonable price,good instruction and the location is awesome. Able to open it up in the harbor with very to little waves and the waves were a little higher in the gulf so it allowed us to get some extreme air. Ski's went between 45-51 mph top speed... read more

False advertising! They are one of the most pricey jet ski rentals in the area because their website claims they have ungoverned jet skis that can go 50+ mph, which is the reason we rented with them. Our party rented 3 jet skis, none of which went over 45 mph. Other rental places advertise a cheaper prices for the same speed. They were friendly until we returned the jet skis and they were upset because we sucked up sea grass (which is everywhere!) there was no way around going through the grass! read more

Fantastic staff and well maintained waverunners. On a crowded and busy holiday weekend they were patient and very friendly. Had a great ride

nice ride,they really nice and helpful for us the first time on a jet ski ,we.really had a good time on the water,got wet and fun.we will tell more friend about this place,hope they have more business.thanks. read more

rented jet skis on July 3 for 4 - great service and equipment. friendly. would definitely recommend.

We had a group of 8 people rent 5 jet skis for the dolphin tour. The young women that work in the office there are so rude. You would think after paying that much money those women would be a little more friendlier. They have no respect at all. On the other hand, the men that took us on the tour was really nice and respectful. I wish the men could rub off some of their friendliness on those women. read more

Went parasailing for the first time and it was a great experience. The crew was nice and funny and the boat was clean and in very good shape. The location was a little hard to find and looks kind of sketchy when you pull in but it was great and they were very professional. Parasailing itself was amazing, the harness isn't too uncomfortable and the views were spectacular. As soon as I was done I was ready to go again. read more

I will NEVER return to this place. First of all, they tell you that they allow one wave runner for 2 adults and 1 child as long as they are all under 400 lbs total. Our dolphin tour had one wave runner that easily topped 500 lbs with 2 adults and a kid, while we paid for 2 wave runners because the 3 of us together would've been about 470 lbs. So right there is an extra $100 that we didn't need to pay. Speaking of dolphin tours, you're supposed to see dolphins, right? Well, we didn't. Plus, afterwards when you're just playing around, we killed our engines to chat for a few and the runners bumped into each other causing a little scuff about 6 inches long. There were dings and scrapes all over the wave runner already, but we were charged $100 per inch when the scuff could've been buffed out pretty easily. So we got an extra $600 charged on the card we provided BEFORE I signed anything saying I agreed to pay. I don't know how all the other reviewers had a great time, because this was easily the worst experience I had while on my honeymoon. If I could rate zero stars, I would! read more

Xtreme H2o gave us a fabulous ending to our vacation. Our family did the Dolphin Excursion with Wes and it was an incredible experience! We called the day before and made reservations for 6, two to each wave runner. The instructions were clear and concise and they got us on the water very quickly. Wes very kindly helped us feel comfortable and safe and we saw an entire pod of dolphins within a couple of minutes, just as they advertised! For an hour, we he led us on the water, looking for more sea life and letting us go as fast as we wanted. Then we were left to our own devices for another 40 minutes, talk about a rush! This was the best family experience, we would recommend it to anyone. read more

I had a great experience renting a jet ski here. Bobby was friendly and helpful throughout the process of renting the jet ski and showing me how to operate it. They go through the jet ski like a rental car showing you all the dings and everything the jet ski already has so that they won't hold you responsible when you return the jet ski. They give discounts for renting for more than 1 hour and the jet skis they rent are extremely fast. I highly recommend Xtreme H2O for jet ski rental. read more
