This review is long overdue- three adults and our three daughters ages 6, 11, and 13 and it was a beautiful day kayaking in the clear kayaks. Sonny and Gwen were so accommodating and gave us outstanding service, and included cooler bags with cold water and treats for my daughter celebrating her birthday. I do recommend bringing fingerless gloves because my hands started to hurt from the friction on the bar of the paddle. The trail was fabulous- we will definitely be back!

Sonny and Tyler were 5 out of 5 stars before we even stepped foot on the property and it just got better from there. Sonny was beyond accommodating with our 4 hour jet ski reservation. Tyler got our machines set up and loaded with our water and added ice to keep them cold. He gave us free reign in the open water and then took ya to a great snorkel spot. From there he took us to the bay and showed ya some great sites including a trip into the mangroves that we never would’ve ventured into on our own. As we headed back to the dock, he took us to a shallow dive spot and let us try to catch a lobster (it was mini lobster season). We did not expect to have a guide but we could not have been happier to have Tyler along with us. The machines are in great shape and I can not recommend Tropic Water Sports enough!

Thank you to Sonny for a fabulous kayaking experience. We wanted to bring our dogs because they are part of our family. Sonny made us feel so welcome and catered to our every need. He actually cared about our safety and well being while assuring that we were having fun. I highly recommend a day at Tropic Water Sports - I mean the whole day because there are so many different fun activities for all skill levels and adventure seeking levels.

Just had a wonderful time at Tropic Water Sports. Our family was fortunate to have Tyler there to get us all set up. He was super friendly and helpful. Tyler took lots of pictures, gave us ice cold water for our trip, checked on us, and showed us wildlife. We highly recommend Tropic Water Sports to anyone looking for a great time on the water in Key Largo.

If you're looking for Jetski rentals:
1) stop looking,
2) go to Tropic Water Sports and
3) thank me later :).
Kyle and Tyler were EXTRA patient with us and told us the important (and non-important but fun) facts about Jetskis. My wife and I really enjoyed it although it was a very windy day. We had a 1-hour reservation but they were willing to give us a free extra 30 min.
We're coming back soon!

My wife and I did a 4 hour rental. Went to the 2 islands to the north which are surrounded by reefs protected with "non motor zone bouys that were not very clear. We asked the rental guys for a map beforehand and they said just use your phone. A map indicating areas to stay away from would be helpful. We got into a spot in the reef and started getting yelled at by fisherman. The last thing I wanted to do was cause damage to the reef. Side note, the 3 islands did not have beach. mainly rocky shore lined with mangroves. We went to the inlet (south 3/4 mile connecting to the west side and I would recommend going that way. Nice houses and boats to see along the way.

Right next to Snapper’s, it’s tucked back on the water. Have some patience, he’ll get you out there depending on how many folks are trying to get on the water. Shaded, beachy area with seating while you fill out papers. Sonny packed a cooler with fresh water, made sure we knew where to go and not go, made sure I had a dry bag and his # just in case. Safely sent my 13 year old and I out in a clear kayak for an afternoon of exploring! He came on the jet ski to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our time. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot in the keys and we can’t wait to go back.

All that was said to us was 'Watch out for seaweed." About 10 minutes into one hour rental (we found out later) jetski intake became clogged with seaweed and would only putter along at 5 miles an hour. Took almost 40 minutes to limp back to dock. Guy watches us limp back to dock, does nothing. Guy pulls seaweed out. Obviously a known problem. Asked for a credit. Guy says "We told you you had to clear out the intake if it became clogged with seaweed." Um, no you didn't. If you had, I would have done so, and not sat on a jetski going 5 miles an hour with my 13 year old son on the back for 40 minutes. I wouldn't even know where the intake was. $120 bucks for nothing.

Avoid this place. Have not and will not refund our security deposits when skis were returned as agreed, on time and damage free with zero issues. Extremely rude and very unprofessional employees. Contacted customer service when we noticed our security deposit hadn’t been refunded on our card. Representative was very rude and condescending. When researching this company online, don’t make the mistake I made reading the positive reviews. Click on the “lowest” reviews and see how this negative behavior from the staff is not a one time occurrence. This was the only negative experience we had on our entire trip the Key Largo. Everything else we did and every where else we went everyone was absolutely awesome. This was a family trip and would be one of our best trips ever had it not been for visiting this crooked company. What a disappointment.
