I called & booked a reservation for 4 jet skis about 10 days prior to the date we would go jet skiing. The person on the phone was helpful & friendly. I was a little concerned I wouldn't be able to handle the jet ski. The person I spoke with was very reassuring. The day of our reservation there was a thunderstorm warning & our scheduled time had to be cancelled. The person who called me offered me 3 times for the next day or a full refund. We were able to take a time the following day. Check in was smooth as was the introduction to the rules/operation of the jet ski. Both guides assigned to our group reassured me again that at any time if I felt uncomfortable they would assist me. Not only was I able to drive the jet ski, totally controlling my speed, I had the time of my life! So did the other 4 people in my group whose ages ranged from 20 to 58. And one of them was a passenger. So much fun & we all felt totally safe!! Can't wait to do it again!! Would highly recommend this company!!

Very friendly staff and my family enjoyed their time on the jet skis. This is the only place I could find in Delmarva that allows you to switch passengers during the hour rental. With 4 kids and only 2 drivers this was a must. Only complaint is that many of the staff were not wearing masks and that they did not suggest that guests wear them upon check in (in tight quarters).

brought my family to go jet skiing-6 people ages 6 to 81. The kind care and attention these folks gave to me and my family was the equivalent of service you would get from a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. It started with how patient the young women who checked us in were when we had a little trouble filling out the forms on the ipad. They were so patient and friendly. Then, the young men who set us up with life jackets were also helpful and easy going. The young men who were our guides on the jet ski literally walked me, my 6 year old nephew and my 81 year old mom holding our hands to get on the jet ski. They were really conscientious about safety. Our guides were so knowledgeable, patient, kind and considerate. We had a little trouble out on the jet ski and the guides were on it in minutes and handled it like Navy Seals. They were heroes. We will come back every year. The best thing was the smiles on my family's faces as we all laughed and talked about how much fun we had at dinner that night.

An hour blasting through the Rehoboth Bay like James Bond was $130 well spent. Top speeds of 50 mph and hoo boy, I felt like a stunt double. Orientation was very chill and brief. Applause.

This place is great. My boyfriend and I booked two 1/2 hour jet ski rides. The riding area is large and gives riders plenty of space to speed and do tricks. My boyfriend was flying around and even flew in the air. The male guides on Sunday gave us a helpful safety tutorial and explained where we could ride the jet ski. The weather was nice and I enjoyed the water.

We rented a pontoon boat for the day. Although on the pricey side it was a nice clean boat and we enjoyed the cruise around the bay and up the canal to Lewes where we stopped for lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would suggest adding small chartplotters (GPS) to the boats and possibly a depth finders.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your 5-star review and business. While our boats don't include GPS we do our best to explain the ways of the water via our dock guides and maps. We are happy to hear you had an awesome day on the canal and hope you come to see us again soon!

Making a reservation online was a breeze. When you arrive, the staff is super friendly and assisted in getting you ready. It was first time experience on the banana boat for us and they explained everything as we got our gear on. The team on the boat listened to our signals we gave to go faster or slower. Best family activity we did on our vacation! Definitely would do it again!!

Rented a jet ski with my girlfriend. They let us ride doubled up no problem and we aren’t exactly super thin (weight limits).They let us both be drivers. The questionnaire was done on iPads and was super quick and easy. Plenty of space out in Rehoboth Bay. Great Yamaha sport skis easily hit 50mph in probably 5 seconds. They allowed for free parking in the Rusty Rudder parking lot. Great experience. Plenty of staff there to help 👍. After your done hit up the bar Northshore 🍻! Have fun.

We rented a pair of wave runners at Dewey Beach Water Sports. From start to finish the crew was wonderful to us (2 adults) and to our child who was 9 yrs old. The area to play on our wave runners was huge. Even with all of the wave runners rented out for the hour, it was never an issue. The wave runner were fast and new and gave us an hour of fun. There were 2 guards out on wave runners to keep everyone safe. They also showed off their skills for us to enjoy.
I highly recommend you to go out an enjoy yourself at The Dewey Beach Water Sport.

We booked the Banana Boat ride for 6 people. Unfortunately one of the children didn’t want to ride and needed one parent to stay with him. They were unbelievably accommodating to us and made the ride amazing for all of us, adjusting the ride perfectly to our needs. Couldn’t have gone better. Our sincerest thanks to Capt Jim and the staff for a great time!
