What a Jet Ski Rental in Myrtle Beach Looks Like

When you arrive at our dock on Dick Pond Road, our crew gets you set up fast. You'll get a quick safety briefing covering controls, throttle, steering, and what to expect on the water — even if you've never been on a jet ski before, you'll feel confident in minutes.

From there, you'll head out on the Intracoastal Waterway — one of the most scenic stretches of water in the Myrtle Beach area. Our exclusive riding zone sits inside a nature preserve, so there's no boat traffic, no wake zones to dodge, and no crowded marinas. Just wide open freshwater surrounded by cypress trees, Spanish moss, and wildlife.

For a full hour, you have the freedom to open up the throttle and carve turns, or cruise slow and take in the scenery. Our Yamaha VX jet skis are stable, powerful, and easy to handle — perfect for first-timers and experienced riders alike.

Why Myrtle Beach Is the Best Place to Jet Ski

Most jet ski operations put you in the ocean — fighting waves, dealing with saltwater, and sharing space with boats and swimmers. Jet skiing in Myrtle Beach on the Intracoastal Waterway is a completely different experience. The water is flat and calm, the scenery is untouched, and you're riding through a nature preserve instead of dodging beach traffic.

We're located just 15 minutes from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, 10 minutes from Surfside Beach, and easy to reach from anywhere on the Grand Strand. With 12+ years in business and over 1,000 five-star reviews across Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp, we've become the go-to spot for jet ski rentals in Myrtle Beach — for good reason.

Looking for a longer adventure? Our Backcountry Jet Ski Tours take you on a guided 2-hour ride covering 50+ miles through hidden tributaries with a stop at Sandy Island nature preserve. It's the highest-rated outdoor activity in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience to ride a jet ski?

No experience is needed! Our expert staff provides comprehensive instruction before every ride, covering safety procedures, controls, and riding techniques. We make sure you feel comfortable and confident before hitting the water. There is a 400 lb weight limit per jet ski, and riders should be physically able to pull themselves back onto the jet ski from the water if needed.

What is included in the rental?

Everything is included: the jet ski, expert instruction, full safety gear (life jackets), and fuel. Just bring yourself, sunscreen, and a sense of adventure!

How old do you have to be to ride?

Operators must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license to operate a jet ski. Passengers can be younger as long as they meet the weight/height requirements and are accompanied by an adult operator.

Can more than one person ride?

Yes! Our Yamaha VX jet skis can accommodate up to 2 riders per ski with a combined weight limit of 400 lbs. Perfect for couples or a parent-and-child adventure.

What should I wear?

Wear a swimsuit or comfortable clothing you don't mind getting wet. We recommend water shoes or sandals with straps. Avoid flip-flops as they can come off easily.
