Five stars go to Micah! Best decision of our trip, no question. Micah's jet ski dolphin tour was an absolute blast. He was super knowledgeable, incredibly patient, and somehow knew all the best secret spots to find dolphins. Everything about the tour was easy, exciting, and so much fun. If you're in town and not booking with Micah, you're doing it wrong. 100% recommend! read more

AAA Jet Ski Rentals and Tours - Micah knows where all the secret dolphin spots are! - Tours Near Me - Panama City, Florida

My husband and I had an amazing adventure! We did the 2 hour partially guided jet ski dolphin tour. Camden was the best guide. He seemed very knowledgeable, was easy to talk with, and made my day by finding dolphins! We had a great time on the water and at Shell Island. read more

This was such an awful experience!! They do not take safety into consideration at all. I was driving their jet ski with my daughter when we were both knocked from the jet ski. The tour group continued on and left us in the water and continued on. It took us 10 minutes to get in the jet ski. Once on the jet ski we called the facility to let them know we were alone and the group left us. She argued that the group is together per the gps. Well that was not true as we were alone in the Gulf surrounded by wild dolphins. (Thankful just dolphins). She told me she will call the guide and call me back. After 15 minutes I called her back. They were unable to locate us. Thankfully I had my phone and dropped a pin for my location. My jet ski did NOT have a number on it as the women in the phone insisted it did. It took the guide 30 minutes to return to us. When he arrived he proceeded to yell at ask asking us "what happened to you" and "if you can't get in a jets ski you shouldn't be riding" (of mention we both were on the jet ski without his help). He was mad and zipped off we were to follow but he was not happy and we literally had to chase him to shell island. He later told me he has 8 jet skis to watch and that his partner just started. This is unsafe and extremely careless. They should not be operating inexperienced people if they are not skilled in safety. The gulf is full of marine life that could have hurt either one of us. My 2 hour dolphin tour was a nightmare we sat for over 45 minutes alone and have zero time on the island or free time. I have called once and emailed twice to speak to some sort of leader and have received no response. Since they do not want to hear my story personally I will share with potential customers. If riding with children I would be extremely cautious. My daughter is not fearful of the water but a small child this event could have caused permanent trauma. read more

Amazing. Our guide Ross made everything clear and fun. We had an absolute blast and would recommend to anyone in the area.

Ross was amazing tour guide. Great tour. The entire group had so much fun! Highly recommend! Shell Island is beautiful. Water was a little choppy at first but on the way back we was wide open on the throttle. read more

Stop here... Don't go to those other sketchy places! 1,000 stars! Quick, Smooth and effortless check-in. We scheduled the 2 hour guided jet ski tour at 9am with AAA. The price was way better for the guided tour and we even had time at the end of the tour to ride freely. We found this cost to be a much better deal than the solo prices with much less jet ski time, offered from the attendants at beachside ( if you rent from them they will likely send you to Adventures at Sea which is a chaotic mess you would be wise to stay away from ) After checking in, our guide, Chad, came over to greet us. What a nice guy with a hilarious sense of humor... It had been 30 years since I was on a jet ski last, but he was so thorough on his review and directions, I was 100% comfortable driving on the tour. Then we headed out, sometimes he gave the signal to stay in a straight line behind him, sometimes he let us know we could ride in a triangle to our destination Shell Island which looked like we had landed in the Caribbean, the water was beautiful colors of Aqua and so very clear. Chad easily found large pods of dolphins and we were riding along side with them. Afterward, Chad took us to a nice open area where we could ride freely for the last part of the tour while he waited close by to guide us back to the rental location ( I'm glad he waited to help us back ) It was such an amazing time. We will definitely be back next year! read more

This was my first time riding Jet Ski's and it was soooo much fun. I'll be back to do it again definitely. It was like $150 for 2 hours. (Plus $200 hold on your card which will return the next day.)We also saw dolphins.Good deal! Everywhere else I seen was higher so I went with AAA Jet Ski Rentals & Tour and happy I did! read more

Booked online, easy and convenient. Staff was accommodating with changing our reservations due to weather and made our experience an everlasting memory. Even went above and beyond to make it wheelchair accessible and helped get our son on the jet ski! Highly recommend the dolphin tour- amazed how close the dolphins come to you. Will definitely book again on our next vacation! read more

We had the best time! The guide was not very informative, but how much info can you get in the middle of the ocean? He did find us a dolphin and I wasn't expecting to see one. The time on our own was worth every penny! If you love speed get your own ski, don't have a rider . Best time! Do it! read more

My son and grand daughter had a great time on the jet ski. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The jet ski was in great shape. Yelp says there is a 10% discount but they do not honor the offer. read more

This was a great two hour JetSki tour, we got to see dolphins and had an hour of free time. It was so much fun! Chad was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, helpful, and had a great sense of humor! I also found the AAA jet skis had the best rates with the longest riding time! read more

AAA Jet Ski Rentals and Tours - Tours Near Me - Panama City, Florida

Friendly & professional. Fair prices. Sent us out early which gave us extra time on the skis. Would rent from them again.

We booked the 2 hr tour. 1 hr guided dolphin tour and 1 hr on your own. All the waivers were sent for you to fill out prior to arrival and they ask that you be there 30 minutes early. We did both but unfortunately another group of 5 did not. They showed up only minutes before our 2 hr time started, therefore we lost about 20 minutes of our time waiting for them to sign their waivers and take their instructional course. Once we finally got out there, the guided tour was a balls to the wall rush to get to shell island. There was no "tour." Because we were going at max speed, we lost people and had to stop twice for our "guide" to go back and find them. One time was apparently for mechanical issues with someone's jet ski and the guy had to swap with him. Once we made it to shell island we were left with instructions on how to get back and told good luck finding dolphins since they aren't really around that area now. We weren't offered any additional time or a partial refund. We received basically sub-par service and no even acknowledgement of such. There are TONS of jet ski rental places. Don't waste your time on a company that doesn't care about customer experience. read more

Fantastic service. Great skis, all in good shape. A real fun 2h on the water. It was too rough to go out into the Gulf, so they offered us an unguided time for the same price. It was really fun. The restrooms were spotless and there was a hose with freshwater to clean off with after. Not shady. Highly recommended. read more

We really enjoyed our jet ski tour! Our favorite part was riding around Shell Island but also enjoyed the unguided portion of our tour. They gave a great safety talk and made us feel very comfortable. Don't worry if you are inexperienced, they go over everything. We highly recommend! read more

Honestly such an amazing experience! We were able to get up right next to the dolphins! We had the freedom to go at our own pace and not feel like we were on a strict guided tour. Amazing price for 2 hours of fun! The water was beautiful over by the gulf coast. We loved that the last hour we were able to roam around on the jet skis and see what shell island and it's surroundings had to offer. This is a must do! read more

Poor customer service. Rude employees. Would not recommend this business to anyone for a ski or a pontoon rental.

I called today to make an appointment for a jet ski and the owner was rude and disrespectful. We did not even get into the conversation and he told me I was annoying and not to come because I was asking questions. I think he saw my name and knew I wasn't white and began to be racist. I'm totally disappointed because I researched online on what I wanted to do while visiting the beach town. He was rude and racist. Don't go here. What a disappointment!! I notice the owner responded to my review. Please look at his response. It was rude and aggressive. Don't spend your money with rude business owners that are possible racist. It's the year of the customer and I felt like a slave in 1870 after o got off the phone with this guy! read more

We had a great time with AAA. Dalton and Michael were great! They were super easy going and made sure we had a good time. We saw plenty of dolphins and were able to explore the bay which was awesome. The jet skis have water proof compartments for your shoes, phone, ect. I can't wait to do this again next year! read more

Awesome if you already know how to drive a jet ski. Don't lie if you don't, because they ask you to follow them out to Shell Island at a high rate of speed. You'll need to keep up and be smart enough to avoid other boats and sand bars. We had an absolute blast! Saw lots of dolphins up close, and toured the pristine gulf beaches. He takes you on a tour for the first hour, and the next hour is free time for you. It's great and way better than the short expensive tours on the strip Very highly recommended! read more

AAA Jet Ski Rentals and Tours - We saw lots of dolphins up close, including one that was hunting a school of fish. Jet skis are the best way to see the Dolphins! - Tours Near Me - Panama City, Florida

Rented two skis from them yesterday. The whole process was so smooth. They were professional, polite and were the only ones that allow self-guided tours. We have used them before in previous years and will continue to use them again! read more

Im a local and hands down best jet ski rental in entire area. Super friendly....definitely my go to jet ski rental place read more

This is a very unprofessional business. We drove 40 minutes to get there and were very excited to rent three jetski's with the whole family. We were celebrating our daughter turning 18. This daughter took the boater course back home in Texas several weeks ago and we brought her boater license with us. We were then told we could not go out on the skis because said daughter did not have her drivers license. No where on AAA's web site does it say you have to have this when you arrive. As we then scrolled through this comment section for this business we noticed that this is a problem that has occurred before. It is very clear that this is an issue because out of state customers don't know Florida law and yet AAA choses not to put this information on their website. This is very unprofessional and misleading. In my business I refund my customers their money when a mistake like this is brought to my attention. AAA refused to refund our money even though it was clearly their mistake. For AAA, the customer does not come first. I suggest to everyone reading this, use a different company. One that will treat you right. read more

I can't recommend this company/ owner high enough!!! The experience was great and a blast taking my 11 daughter out on. It had been more than a few years since I had been on a jet ski but in no time I was comfortable again we had found pods of dolphin to swim with and handfuls of sand dollars, truly a memorable experience!! read more

This place is awesome!!! He leads you to the Dolphins outside the jetty and spends an hour with you and lets you be free an hour. It's big boy / no joke time. He hauls tail and you better be ready to keep up. If you need your hand held this is not for you. I jumped off my jet ski into 30ft of water with dolphins. Highly recommend. read more

While on vacation, we wanted to do a jet ski excursion. We aren't super familiar with all the waterways in the area, but didn't want to be babysat either. Last year we chartered a carolina skiff with a local captain. She was able to show us some cool stuff, but the girls got sea sick a little and the only dolphin we saw was at the bait boat waiting to eat scraps. I called a couple of days ago and asked for the availability for a couple of skis. They took my name and card number and advised they were not charging me until we got there. My brother and sister-in-law called in later, but there were no extra skis on my time slot. They said I could move to their new slot no problem-which was just a couple hours later. So we got there 30 minutes early and signed the form and paid. You have two options. Option number 1-go with a guide for 45 minutes. Scott will take you out and show you dolphins and SHARKS. He knows exactly where to take you. Then you have the option to go off by yourself for the remainder of your time, or stop by the sandbar. It was just 5 minutes from where the dolphins like to hang out. It's a big sandbar where you can walk out and snorkel if you want. There are shells out on the edge. Just be careful of the boating traffic!! Option number 2- If you are familiar (or I guess if you're not) you can take off on your own for a couple of hours. If you are 27 or older, all you need is money. If not, check out the website as you will need to take a boating safety test. Keep in mind this can be done online. However, as you move through the screens, there is a timer that only lets you progress so quickly (to ensure you are digesting the important lessons about safety). So make sure you either do this at home before your trip or a couple of days before. They will let you do a paper version at the launch, but it takes about 45 minutes according to their website. So allow for that time if you have a younger adult in the group. The charge for us on the tour was $110. He gave us a 20 minute safety lesson on the skis and how to act around the other boaters. Once we were done he assigned us skis and we were off. We did the tour with Shell Island (option #1) Scott took us straight to a pair of dolphins. He was very respectful of the other boaters and especially the dolphins. He told us when to cut off the engines (if we were close to the wild life) and where to drive to safely navigate the other boaters and divers. It can get a little crowded as the dolphins draw a lot of attention. We saw those up close for a few minutes hung out with the dolphins. They were awesome!! Afterward, Scott said,"Let's go find some sharks!" Within about 10 minutes we had found several black tipped sharks that were swimming about 25 yards off of Shell Island. If I had known that last year, I probably wouldn't have snorkeled where we did. It was basically the same place we saw several sharks. We turned back so not to go out towards the hotels-Scott spotted a whole pod of dolphins. We enjoyed them as well. He then asked if we wanted to go off on our own or go chill on the sandbar. We took a collective vote and we decided to go to the sandbar. We snorkeled around and picked up shells. The other jet skiers left before we did. No problem. We kept track of time and about 20 minutes before our time ran out, we headed back to the launch. We had enough time to carve some waves before our arrival. Scott was pretty firm with us when it came to certain rules, but I can imagine all the idiots that get on these motorized watercraft and don't obey the rules-and he has to deal with them. But so long as you obey the rules and keep up, there won't be any issues. ***************IMPORTANT***************** Pay careful attention when he tells you the areas to stay away from-or you will get seaweed stuck in the intake under your jet ski. Not saying that happened to me. Just not saying it didn't happen. (= We skated in just in time to meet our time goal. Overall, I had a BLAST! So did the rest of our group (4). The Mrs. had more fun that I expected and my Bro and Sis in law did as well. It was a vacation memory that will last forever. We are already talking about next year! Thanks Scott! You made my vacation! read more

Fantastic. We had a blast. Scotty is awesome. He took us right to the dolphins then let us go out on our own. He also stops you by a sandbar and takes some pics for your group. A must do in PCB. This is the only tour that you don't get baby sat on the water. We cannot wait to go again. read more

Lady on the phone is extremely rude. I've Never used this company for jet ski rentals so are far as service I have no clue, but instead of her trying to get my business she seemed like she didn't want it. Horrible customer service. read more

Overall, we had a great time renting jet skis from here. The lady that we scheduled with was very nice and even called me back to let us know that we should probably leave earlier than expected because traffic was backed up near the marina. The first man we dealt with once we got there was super friendly and funny. Our tour guide on the other hand was not, he acted like we were an inconvenience to him and he didn't want to be there at all. He wasn't friendly at all, then when we had to call back while we're on the water for minor jet ski trouble he acted like it was our fault and upset that he may have to come help us. Luckily, the issue was resolved without him having to do that and the first man met us as we were coming in because he was on his way to check on us and was just as friendly as he was when we first arrived. read more

We had a great time! We had 5 adults & 4 kids. Everyone had an awesome time. Listen to Scott! He knows where to go to see Dolphins & he knows what areas to avoid if you have kids. The water was crystal clear. We saw 3 schools of Dolphins & 2 huge MantaRays. Such a great morning! read more

Scott @ AAA is so wonderful and their jetskis are top of the line. The rates are unbeatable. This is the most economical and fun way to see shell island and more. We highly recommend this adventure. We missed the dolphins but saw sea turtles, fishes etc. Thanks Scott for your hospitality! read more
