We did the dolphin and snorkeling tour and it was well worth it. Chris our captain and Craig his first mate, were knowledgeable, fun and hospitable.

One of the best jet ski experiences we’ve had! Touring Key West on jet skis is definitely an unforgettable experience. Our captains/guides were Steve and Tyler. Steve had the most positive attitude and was extremely considerate and attentive towards everyone. Tyler gave us the best jet ski experience by really putting our skills to the test! Both were great and chill. Extremely fun!

The weather wasn’t looking too great the morning we were supposed to go. Barefoot Billy’s would not let us have a refund (didn’t cancel 24 hrs ahead) and only suggested to reschedule later in the day, which would also be as heavily likely to rain. We didn’t bother to reschedule and just toughed it out in the waves. Sucks that the company wasn’t helpful, but our captains/guides definitely made it better!

We did this our first day at Key West and it was the perfect way to start the vacation. You learn so much about the island and it’s surroundings and get some cool recommendations and information about the best restaurants and small spots to grab food and drinks. Our guide, Jeff, was awesome! He was able to get everyone in the group involved having a great time and kept everyone safe too. If you can request a guide, definitely go with Jeff at Beachside Marriott location. One of my most fun experiences being down here and it was also a great introduction to the island itself while having a blast ripping over the waters. Going as single riders or a double rider were both fun as we went as single riders but got to try it out on one and still had a blast and they let you switch if you want so you can both still drive and control the Jetski. Definitely gonna recommend this to others and wouldn’t say I’d never go again especially if I was with new people!

Just want to say if you’re looking to book jet skis look no further this was by far were one of the highlights of my vacation. From the pricing and the service i would book with no one else but them. Jeff was our guide from our trip and he was nothing but awesome and friendly. He was very patient when me and my boyfriend were getting the hang of riding on a jet ski which we appreciated a lot as well as giving us a lot of information and recommendations about the keys. If I come vacation here again then I’ll be sure to book with them again. Thank you Jeff for the fun tour ride!

3 Mokes available (white, black, red). Terrible maintenance on their equipment putting families at risk. Red one consistently bucks and ultimately turns off on its own in the middle of the road. Black one came with the inside of the tire bald with fibers protruding that ultimately popped on its first cruise. This is a clear lack of maintenance. I’d like to point out that speed is not a variable here, as they are limited to 25 mph. In the end, shady management does not do right by their customers. Stay far away from this rental company.

Last year’s tour and experience was great. Today’s, not! Stopped at Taylor Swift’s place…that was it. Was expecting Southern Most point, Fort Zach and a few others. Gave us more “free time”! And the kicker, I was harassed for not giving a $40 gratuity for EACH of the two wave runners rented ($80). I’d expect the $300 I spent covers this with the optional gratuity for exceptional service!

Good fun…
I left a good tip and was tracked down to let me know I should tip more so the guide doesn’t go home empty handed.

Signed up for a jet ski tour yesterday and after the first 10 minutes I got super nervous! The guide took us back to the shore and barefoot Billy’s crew gave us vouchers! They were so understanding and didn’t make me feel bad for chickening out!

Mike was a great guide. He read the dynamics and skill of the group well and was able to provide a good tour for experienced riders.

This is NOT something to try if you are driving a jet ski for the first time. The waves are terrifying on a windy day and they don’t give enough time by the shore for you to get used to the jet ski. The guides are way too fast for beginners to catch on. But this would be fun for someone who has used jet skis in the past and is comfortable going really fast in it.

I repeat, DO NOT, waste your money if you are trying this out for the first time. If you can’t keep up with the speed of the group, one guide just drives you back to the shore and obviously no refunds or permission to use the jet ski near the shoreline. So a complete waste of money for 5-10 minutes of terrifying thrill!

We stayed at the Marriott resort and saw one group returning to the shore within 5-10 mins almost like clock work.
