About this activity

Billy started his Island Jet Ski Tour in 1992. There are many imitators, but only one Original Island Jet Ski tour! Our guides are licensed and local, so they know the waters surrounding our island like their backyard - because it is!

Full Island Loop: You completely circle Key West, a trek that is impossible for most larger boats due to shallow backcountry waters.

Sightseeing from the Water: You get unique vantage points of famous landmarks, including the Southernmost Point buoy, Mallory Square, and Sunset Key.

Marine Life: The route passes through the Key West backcountry (mangroves), where it's common to spot dolphins, sea turtles, rays, and tropical birds.

Freestyle "Play" Time: Unlike strictly regimented tours, this includes a dedicated "free play" segment where you can go full throttle, practice carves, or jump wakes in a safe, open-water zone.

Itinerary

Key West

Begin your tour on the pristine, uncrowded south end of Key West. Your expert guide provides safety instructions on your Yamaha personal watercraft (PWC), providing you with the confidence to get the most out of your guided tour.

Billy only goes with the best which is why he rides on a Yamaha. Your new Yamaha PWC provides an unbelievably comfortable ride, even at 45 mph, while providing top-of-the-market handling and maneuverability.

Get ready for the ride of your life as we set off for an exhilarating ride around the island. Your 26-mile guided tour completely circles the island of Key West, a task that’s impossible for most watercraft.
Southernmost Point

10 min

During your jet ski tour, you take in breathtaking views of Key West’s backcountry, see the famous Mallory Square from the water, and watch for marine life like sea turtles and dolphins frolicking in the Caribbean waters.

Learn about the history of Key West during stops along the way, including the Southernmost Point, historic Key West Bight, and Sunset Key. Relax or play in the water while we stop at a deserted sandbar. Bring your waterproof camera for great photos!
