We did the sunset tour and it was wonderful! Patrick was such a fun great guide! The water was perfect for us. It was like glass. The sunset did not disappoint.

Wow! What an experience we will never forget! Booked online with friendly check in staff and Jared the leader. Arrived 30 minutes early with just enough time to get ready. We rented 3 jet skis and went on the 1 hour speed tour. Please know what you are booking, it is called a speed tour for a reason. You have to keep up with the group and go at least 30 mph to make it around the island. Jared was very patient with our group that consisted of 2 kids that were scared and one teenager who took the temporary boating license the night before ($9.99). We didn’t have enough time to stop at a sand bar but thankfully made it around the island! Closest and most affordable jet ski rental to Bahia Honda State Park camping (you can rent this RV/Satellite Beach/Outdoorsy).

We had the best time on the pontoon. We rented the bow rider on line but when arriving that morning found out it wasn’t able to be used due to some issue with having it on the water however we were not turned away. Instead we were provided a pontoon boat which was great! It was just the 2 of us on this large boat and we had the best day! Thank you to Patrick for his quality care and friendliness. We’ll definitely recommend our friends and family to this business.

Jared was our tour guide and it was fantastic! We went with our two kids 11 and 7 and our younger daughter was a little scared. She started to enjoy it a lot on the second half of the tour but we appreciated how encouraging he was. All the staff was extremely friendly. We highly recommend renting from them as the experience was so much fun. Great prices and wonderful staff! Thank you!

Jared was great. Took my 5 year old first time and he paid extra close attention and made sure we felt safe. I grew up in marathon and feel his did a fabulous job showing us the island. Wouldn’t rent anywhere else!

This is my 3rd trip to the keys with family over the last year and my 3rd time using wake zone for the het ski tour . Each of those times I brought different family members abs they too had a great experience. The jet skis are new and work great. The staff is simply great! Our guide was with James each of those times and he is absolutely fun and just as nice to talk to while hanging in between tours at the docks.They really took the time to be sure we understand how to use the jet skis and what is expected of us. They will ALWAYS be my go to every trip I make. Thanks for the great 20 mile tour again and again

Patrick was amazing!!!Our sunset jetski tour was worth every penny. He took us back to “Jurassic Park” and it was the coolest experience!We were right on time for the sunset and even got to stop at a sandbar for some great pictures. Thank you Captain Patrick!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Easy to do business with, from the time I spoke with Patrick on the phone to our Jet Ski tour Guide Jarred. All of the representatives were friendly and helpful. Definitely going to rent from them again on next visit. Price was fair, equipment was clean in great shape.

We originally stopped in and talked to Patrick about renting jet skis so we could run around in the water. However, we ended up coming back later for the sunset jet ski tour and are very glad we did. Patrick on the tour and Brandon on the docks were very cool and helpful. We had a ton of fun and honestly going on the tour was probably way better than putting around in circles on the water like we would have done. My wife had a blast getting the ski up to 50mph and Patrick was great working with her as a first time PWC rider. Highly recommend.

We did the jetski freeride and the process of renting was super easy. We booked for Wednesday but when Wednesday came the weather was bad and staff was super helpful in rebooking! The staff there is amazing and very nice!! Would definitely go again!

If I could give this place more stars I would. Hands down my best experience in the Florida keys on vacation. The reviews cant do it justice. I did the one hour speed tour, and the guide was amazing. Got to see so much a marathon, so many beautiful homes and coastline. Really got to ride and have fun. Will definitely be coming back again. Thanks for the great time.!😁🤘

We went out for a sunset jetski tour with Jared and it was phenomenal! A great route and he even let us do some free ride time on the open waters. Patrick was amazing at coordinating it all and making sure we were well prepared for the ride. We would for sure take this tour again!

Was a lot of fun. The guide on the tour we did went at whatever pace we wanted. It was just me and my friends so we didn’t have to worry about anybody else. Went out on brand new jet skis for the sunset tour. Highly recommend it. Going back next year.

My family and I came to Florida for our annual summer vacation. We were all very pleased with the service as well as the rental we chose! Patrick helped us out with everything we needed and didnt skip a beat to make sure we were taken care of. My daughter as well as my son (9 and 10) both commented on how nice he was. We will definitely be coming back here for our boat rentals! I would highly recommend this place to absolutely anyone!!

Such a fun tour with our family of 12. Carly got us all checked in quickly with no issues. Patrick gave some instructions and spent a little extra time with our newbie riders to make them feel comfortable. Then we had a great time riding their fast jet skis out on the water! We booked another tour 2 days later!!

Todays wave runners tour by Lucas was a great time out there on the water. I cant remember the supervisor’s name, but he was great as well. My family felt safe well informed from the start, and they enjoyed themselves.Hey, I wanted to book another tour before the kids. Again we had a blast and highly recommended if youre looking for quality, authentic people to show you a great time.Thanks, guys👍🏾✌️🏾

Awesome experience with this crew! We called in the morning to rent some wave runners and easily made reservations for later in the day. Once on site, Patrick was awesome! Friendly and very helpful. He walked us through everything with professionalism and enough personality to make it fun. An overall fantastic adventure! Would go to this crew again in a heartbeat!

We went today & had a blast! We did the speed tour and I definitely didn’t realize speed tour= really fast! Be prepared for speed!

We stumbled upon this place while searching for a place to rent skis on our vacation in Marathon this past week and boy did they make our trip!! The jet ski tour did not disappoint (if youre looking for speed and beautiful sights these are your guys but come ready to go fast and have fun!!!). We came back a second day to rent a boat for the afternoon since our experience had been so great and had as much fun as we did the day before. You better believe we will be back again the next time we are in town, Patrick and James are the best!! 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area looking for a great time on the water :)

Review №37

Rented 2 jetskis for a hours for my wife and I. It was convenient right off of HWY 1 at the south end of Marathon. The price was comparable to everything else in the area. The ambiance was very fun and relaxed with Porkys right next door. Patrick took care of us and made sure we knew the rules and boundaries and showed us some fun spots before we took off on our own. My wife smiled from ear to ear. Very well worth it!

Review №38

Very friendly staff. Great price. FYI, The tour is going super fast around the island. If you arent familiar or comfortable driving fast, go as a passenger! They give you 5 minutes to get use to the jet ski before you take off. Definitely worth the experience 👌

Review №39

The best jetski experience! My husband and I had 2 kids on the back of each of our jetskis. They had a blast! We did the 1 hour tour. We ended up being late on accident because GPS took us in the opposite direction and they were able to push us back to the following tour. Note to others that use the GPS to find them, they are located by Porkys BBQ mile marker 47.5! Overall great customer service! Cant wait to return!

Review №40

Horrible experience. The experience started with a lecture on the bad conditions given Tropical Depression Fred. Then we were told our guide is balls-to-the-walls fast. The tour is each person trying to keep up with the guide. Theres no sightseeing, except a couple minutes inside a mangrove tunnel, which was the only part I enjoyed. The rest of the time I was wishing it was over. Edit: they pulled up our file and called us and became extremely nasty, using curse words, because I left a negative review.

Very friendly & gave great info over the phone. Kids had to take an online boating course & they texted is the link. Accommodated a quick booking once that was done. James was our guide & made sure the kids (older) had time to familiarize themselves with the jet ski. He also kept an eye on us all while he led the way. James gave information on local wildlife. Led us out to a sandbar off shore. Had a great time!

We had a great time boating with Wake Zone Watersports!Patrick was very knowledgable and friendly. Didnt get the young ladys name at the check in desk, but also so sweet and friendly!Id give 5 stars, but one issue was the old glass bottles left in the cololer seat from a previous renter that was never cleaned out. Old moldy water and bottles were clanging around making us think there was something wong with the boat for the first 15-20 minutes until we found the bottles.Other than that, we enjoyed our day and would rent there again on our next stay!

Review №45

Paid for our trip, came the day of the appointment and was told sorry we had the incorrect phone number and was not able to call you to let you know we had to cancel the appointment. The reason the excursion was canceled was because it was to hot out. We only had 3 days of vacation, could have booked something else to do. That part sucked. They refunded the amount in full without a problem. Doesnt seem very organized. I would book this as a extra for vacation but, not count on this as part of your vacation.

One of the best experiences for jet ski rentals! We decided to do the free roam instead of the tour and had n amazing time! More then enough room for us to roam around and there was 6 of us in our group all on different jet skiis! Patrick was absolutely amazing! Funny and very genuine! Even after he watched the blondey in our group take a coconut he laughed at us and said have a great day! Definitely recommend

We loved it!!!!Super fun! Friendly and straight to the point!This is not a tour! I saw a comment saying something about the guide going fast and not stopping to give info of the area! But this is not what this is for! The guide is literally just a guide to get you back safely and have fun... so yes! If you want to go top speed then this is for you! The hour felt a lot longer! The guide was lovely and was as patient as he could possibly be! Patrick was wonderful and gave plenty of info on the phone. The best price for sure! We wanted to go back in one week but it was too cold out..but I’ll be back again for sure! Thanks for the good time!

If you want to make a quick run around the Key at top speed - with limited contact with your guide, this is the place for you. The ‘guide’ only waited for the fastest 2 in our group and then took off again. When I finally caught up and asked for more info about the area he said “I’m doing what my boss told me to do”. And “some of you are going too slow”.

I have no words to describe the experience we had on the jet ski today with Carley as guide on our tour. She is super attentive, kind and knows her job very well. We believe that it was born perfect for this !!! My children (12 and 7y) were delighted with it. I would definitely recommend this experience and Carley as the best guide to the key Marathon

Highly recommend! Responsive by phone & provided all info needed prior to arrival. My kids had to take an online boating course & we were texted the link. Finished course, set up tour time & were on the water within an hour! There is a combo change shack, shower & bathroom on site. James was our guide & tutor, who did a great job of teaching us how to use the skis. While he led us around the bay, out to Atlantic & looped back around to the bay during our hour tour, he kept an eye on us. Sandbar stop was cool. James provided knowledge of the area & wildlife.

The most amazing jet ski tour around! The 2 hour tour was PERFECT - went to so many places and dolphins came up right next to us!! Carley (a marine biologist who had a vast knowledge of the area) was super accommodating, knew the waters well and really delivered an unforgettable experience!! RECOMMEND this place for any rental needs & WE WILL BE BACK! 👏🏻

Back in January me and my wife rode a jet ski while 3 of my kids rode another. We took a two hour tour with James. Probably the best part of my week in the keys. The ocean waves were a bit choppy but it was a blast! I threw my wife and I off our Jet ski within 10 minutes of riding the waves. LOL. James really let us top speed and ride. Hell, it was the only way to keep up with him. I can’t wait to ride again. Worth the money. Marathon is the best part of the Keys.

We booked an hour jet skiing tour. 5 minutes out in the ocean, our tour guide told us to turn around and go back to the marine because we couldnt keep up with the rest of the group (which consisted of other two young guys who repeatedly were doing swirls in front of us creating big waves, so we couldnt go a straight lane as we were all instructed). The tour guide was very rude and unpleasant to deal with. Worst experience ever.Go to Big Kahuna instead. And see John. Very professional, knowledgeable and patient!

The most fun I’ve had on the water while in the keys. The machines are clean and maintained. The tour was great, the instructor took us all around the island. Beautiful water and beaches to see.
