Our WaveRunners
WaveRunner Rentals
We’re proud of our fleet of Yamaha VX110 WaveRunners from the model years 2019, 2020, and 2021. Each WaveRunner seats two adults and or two adults and a small child (maximum 450 lbs.). These thrilling watercraft reach a top speed of approximately 50-55 mph.
Our Riding Area
Renters launch from the Sebastian River to our riding area, the Intercoastal Waterway—not the ocean. This area includes St. Augustine’s enchanting downtown waterfront and north up to the Castillo de San Marcos. Note that you will navigate the waterway alongside other boat traffic as it is not an enclosed area. However, there is plenty of open water to rip it up! Alternatively, you can go for a more relaxing tour of the waterway. The choice is all yours.
Our Regulations
Age – Renters must be at least 18 to drive and operate our WaveRunners. Passengers maybe 5 years old and up; however, anyone under 18 must have a parent/guardian sign our liability release before being permitted to ride.
Reservation & Deposit – Reservations are required. Call our office to reserve your preferred date/time with a credit card number. We also require a credit/debit for the damage deposit. Note that you may pay for the rental with this card or with cash. The damage deposit is $500 per WaveRunner rented. You’ll sign an imprint of your card for $500; however, we do not authorize your card and hold the money.
