Arrived as a walk in and the team got me signed up, schooled on jetski use, and off onto the water efficiently. Jetski was new with lots of power and cool features. Will return here to rent boats again.

I should have seen from the lighter coloration of the water there even with my non-prescription sunglasses so water splashed. Somehow I thought a sandbar couldn't extend so far, nearby fishermen only up to their knees be damned. The sandbar was way wide and there was just no dragging it to deep enough water with my skinny arms. And gunning the motor is useless if it's not submerged in water. I was a jetski novice, obviously, and don't know jack about it but now at least a little more than what I did. The jetskis here top out around 45 mph though just for an instant I did hit 47. Midafternoon isn't the best choice I learned as the Indian River tends to be choppier than in the morning. This didn't bother me much on the way out as I was going with the current but the waves will be rougher on you against the current. And they seemed even rougher still after my sandbar humiliation. I actually found that the ride is the roughest around 30 mph or so and if you come closer to topping it out up in the 40 mphs you'll get a smoother ride. At least if you're going in the same direction as the waves or that was my experience anyway. I rode about 6 miles from the docks and even got to check out a private little island in the river taking a little dip to cool off since I was pretty wet anyway. You might think that's where I beached my jetski but you'd be wrong. Too easy. I got a gnarly bit of sunburn on my normally pasty skin though I've had worse. I did apply sunscreen but only up to my t-shirt line and then opted to go shirtless as they give you a vest anyway. Mistake number two. My upper arms and shoulders were red as a lobster and peeled for days. I also wasn't liberal enough with the sunscreen on the backs of my hands. I had some peeling there as well. The way out was pretty exhilarating and the way back was a trail of tears so learn from my rookie mistakes if you can. I don't know if I'll do this again but I was glad to cross it off the bucket list.

Ever since Windward Marina Group took over, the service has gone downhill, while the rates keep increasing. TWICE this week, I've tried to launch my boat, only to be told that they were unable to launch it because their forklift was broken. Before this, it took them two weeks to put my boat away after I used it. At $685 per month, I would expect more. What good is owning a boat without being able to use it? If there was a better option in the Sebastian area, I'd check out of this place, once and for all.

PS- this is not a scam at all. We've boated 100 times the last year. Never had a problem of any kind. We follow the club rules. Simple. Also, this is a club, not a charter shop.
