Couldn't recommend Fin's more! We booked 4 jet skis through Fin and loved the whole experience. Fin was quick to respond to phone calls and questions, accommodating with the weather conditions, and his staff was beyond friendly. The jet skis went a maximum of about 50 miles an hour, which was far higher than any other places we looked at, many going around 30mph. On the tour we were able to travel across such a far distance, with beautiful scenery and even stopping at a sand bar and passing dolphins, unlike the restricted areas other places offer. The structure was set up with a tour guide that we followed, riding in a single file line, it would have been nice to have a little more freedom, but I'll take the trade off it it means we can travel to otherwise restricted areas.

Johnny at Finns is the best. He was very kind to my daughter and made sure we had fun.
My family and I spent a week in Clearwater Beach. My daughter and I are thrill seekers. I researched many companies a few weeks prior and I found that Finn's had by far the best rates, reviews and bang for your buck.
We did the 2 1/2 hour excursion which included 2 island stops, numerous high speed cruises and some freestyle time. The island stops were awesome because it gave us time to cool off and look for shells. My daughter and I found so many giant shells that would be impossible to find on the public beaches. Zipping past other tour boats crammed with people made you feel like a celebrity as their envy was palpable.
We made memories to last a lifetime and that is money well spent.
My daughter said on a scale of 1 to 100 it was 1000.
I would recommend Finn's to anyone. You will not be disappointed!

my husband and I went on the 2 1/2 hour tour. Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was Johnny and he was awesome! He took us all around the area. We stopped to swim at a couple different sandbars. When he spotted dolphins he made sure to stop and point them out to us. This didn’t seem like we were on a tour at all. It just felt like we were out with an friend that knew the area well! He even took pics of us and text them to us when the tour ended! This was greatly appreciated since we didn’t bring our cellphones on the tour. Thanks for an awesome experience! We will be back soon!

Fin was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about Clearwater Beach and surrounding area. I went on a jet ski tour with my boyfriend and Gin was our guide. We made stops along our hour tour and he explained landmarks around the inner coastal and along the ocean. This was my first time navigating my our jet ski and he made it very simple and enjoyable. And the end of the tour we say dolphins swimming. This was the best part we stopped and watched them go in and out of the water. He truly cares about the well being of the water and animals of the ocean. He recommended a place for dinner and it was the best seafood I had in Clearwater! Highly recommend him as you tour guide for Clearwater

Took the kids to Clearwater Beach for fall break. This was by far the best thing we did. Fin had us cracking up the whole time. If you are thinking of renting jet ski from your hotel or the harbor, I highly recommend reconsidering and calling Fin. We hit speeds well over 60-70 mph, and saw local wildlife. Skis are easy to operate. My youngest are 10 and 8 and had no problems riding. Thanks for a great time!

While on vacation in Clearwater we decided to take our 10 year old for a jet ski ride.
So I did a search rather than just jump on the most obvious rental right away on the beach.
Fin’s tour came up and I decided we would give this a shot.
Fin had us in stitches from the moment we drove up. Beyond his comedian qualities he is a total surfer dude and with that a water pro.
Not sure how many miles we covered in our 1 1/2 tour which I think actually went a bit longer. We felt safe not having to worry about hitting sandbars, boats and jet skiers because we didn’t have to figure it out for ourselves. We were able to follow an experienced Guide with Coast Guard experience. Totally entertaining the whole tour. We saw dolphins, Manatees and a Bald Eagle.
Totally recommend this trip!!!! We plan to return the next time we are in Clearwater. Totally relaxing....... and a little adrenal high I must admit even as a 55 year old female. 😳😜
Recommend carrying a small waterproof bag for your phone so you have a camera if you are a sentimental photo Junky like myself. I really would have loved a shot of the dolphins, bald eagle and manatee and a super close up of us in the water off one of the islands. Fin did get a few shots of us at one of the breaking spots. A small bottle of water and perhaps a cloth for cleaning your sunglasses. There is a smaller short console on the ski.

Our family had an amazing time during our 1 1/2 Jet Ski tour with Fin. We have been riding jet skis for a long time and wasn't sure how fun it would be following a guide. But we had the best time! It was the highlight of our entire trip! My 17 year old son is still talking about it. We got to see so many beautiful sights along the way and even saw dolphins! It wasn't a slow ride the entire time... we were able to speed up and glide through the beautiful ocean water. And if you are not an experienced jet skier, Fin will make you feel comfortable. He is very knowledgeable, and his experience shines through the silly jokes that he likes to tell. This trip is worth the money! We will be back and will take a 2-3 hour tour with Fin next time.

Fin was great. Did what he said. Super kool down to earth gentlemen. Very accommodating from the phone reservation. We were 2 adults and 7 year old on 1 ski. Where all the other tour companies here gave us a hard time for the 3 of us on 1 ski, even when we told them we are experienced riders, Fin was quick and easy to accommodate. If you’re looking for a JetSki tour around the Clearwater area, Fin is your man!

We loved our jet ski tour with Fin. He makes you laugh from the time you meet him to the end of the trip. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He makes you feel very comfortable on the skis, but he also allows for plenty of speed and thrills. I loved taking a tour all the way around Clearwater Beach and cruising up to "Fin's" Island to find some very unique shells. Fin also made sure we saw plenty of dolphins along the way. This is the best tour ever! Thanks so much! I booked Fin according to the reviews and they are all spot on!! We would definitely go back and do it all over again! Thanks so much, Fin, for making our trip to Clearwater Beach amazing! Friends from Wisconsin!

The whole trip was excellent. Fin was awesome and very personable with our group. Fin was obviously experienced and I trusted him way more then the 17/18 yr old you would find at other jet ski rental places.
The best part was the tour! It wasn’t just renting a jet ski and going back and forth on a small section of the ocean.
My wife and I got to see dolphins a couple of times while we were out. Coming from a couple in Michigan, it was pretty amazing.
I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to do the tour. We did the 2.5 hr tour. But it was well worth it.
Also, I know upon arrival the place doesn’t seem like much, but it had no effect on our guide, the actual equipment they supplied, or the amount of fun we had.

Hi there what happens with personal belongings when going on a jet ski tour? like phones for example incase they get wet? is there some place we can store some things?
Written February 23, 2020
We left our belongings in our car. He has a place to store keys. There is a storage bin on the jet ski, but it could get wet. Good for hats, jackets, etc..

Are these tours private or in groups? We are thinking about doing the 2 1/2 hour jet ski tour and were wondering how many people (jet skis) they allow in a group on any of their tours. We are not looking for a private tour

went last week, rented 3 skis for 6 of us, (2 on each) each ski was $90 for an hour but we were out longer ( had a guide) big area so dont think you can go without one (so you don't get lost)
he had 4 at the dock , dont know if he has more than 4 though.
Finn was super nice and laid back guy.

We didn't need a licence, and we were almost complete beginners. The pace, though, is fast (we touched 70kph, and were often airborne) so you need to be confident. Having said that, the driving is easy enough, and you shouldn't pass up this fabulous activity. As I recall, we paid about $200 for a 3h tour, and as you'll read in my review, it was absolutely worth every cent.

Hi. We're coming to Tampa area (from England) for a few days from 24th-28th Dec and are interested in either hiring Kayaks (half or full day) or maybe doing a jet ski (1hr or maybe 1.5hrs) tour so could you please tell me the rates for both. Also, is there much to see using the kayaks around this area as last time we came over we went to Crystal River and had a great time paddling around & seeing manatees??
many thanks, Dave.

Hi Andrea, renting from Fin is waaaaaaay better than a than the typical rentals being that Fin takes you places, shows you around, explains things, knows points of interests. He makes it an experience as opposed to typical rentals where they hand over the jet ski and send you off on your own to go round and round in circles until you get bored in abt 15 mins leaving you with nothing to do for the remains 45 but go around in more circles. My afternoon with Fin now belongs on my list of really cool things I've done in my lifetime list. It's so very very worth the money, consider a trip with Fin as an adventure versus, just something to do with other rental companies.
As far as your youngsters, ask Fin if that's doable :)
