East Coast Jet Ski is nearly perfect in nearly every way. The only negatives I can think of is that the area they give you to use the jet ski is pretty small and the prices are fairly high (but standard anywhere you go to rent Jet Skis). The size of their riding area is approximately 1/4 mile by 1/8th of a mile trapazoidal shape (more specifically it's about 1,300ft x 875ft x 1500ft x 625ft). Luckily when I went there were no other Jet Skis out so I had free range of the entire area so the size didn't bother me too much. Current prices for Jet Ski rentals before tax are $70 for 30min, $105 for 1hr, and $5 extra for a passenger (you're not allowed to switch seats and take turns driving). They also have a deal for $15 off if you come before noon. Prices include a run through on Jet Ski safety and operation and use of their life vests. You're escorted to the riding area by one of the workers so theirs no need to keep track of time and worry about going over which was nice. The guide who brings you to the riding area and keeps track of time works for tips so it's customary to tip (about $10-20).
Personally half an hour really felt like a long time so unless you've got an extra $35 burning a hole in your pocket 30 minutes would be a good amount to have a blast jetting around on these state of the art waverunners. The thing that stood out the most about East Coast Jet Ski was that the 3 people I dealt with (the girl who helped me with directions to get there and works at the booth at the marina, the guy who ran through the rules and explained everything, and the guy who escorted me out to the riding area) were all absolutely amazing. I can't stress enough how friendly and accommodating these three were. They took pictures of me and my friend on the jet skis, offered to take a little video of us if we wanted, and even asked if we wanted to order anything when they were ordering lunch. I'm sure the dynamic as well as the elbow room in the riding area would be different during busy times but I certainly had a 5 star experience worth writing home about.
They also have a parasailing business running out of the same spot in Utsch's Marina. You'll know it's one of East Coat Parasails by the trademark yellow smiley face sail. As they don't list prices or times at their booth or online I'm not sure the specifics on this but I'm sure you'll have an amazing time with this as well. read more
