Having tried Lakeview Waverunners last year my son and I decided to give Wildwood Waverunners a try this year. While Wildwood Waverunners and Lakeview are equal in price, Wildwood gains a slight advantage as they allow riders to enter the central area of their "track" to play with their craft, doing tricks such as donuts or just taking a brief pause. Wildwood also has a slightly better docking experience as you board via platforms rather than straight from the dock. Wildwood's session is 45 minutes but that's to allow transit time to the riding area. Otherwise riding time is essentially the same. Lakeview's main advantages are that they offer photo services and are centrally located in Wildwood Crest. Bottom line is that the extra minutes spent getting out to Wildwood's location is absolutely worth it.

Ok if you are going to wildwood or anywhere in the area whether for the day, weekend, or week. There is NO WAY you can’t go here. My wife surprised me for Father’s Day and I was hooked ever since. We came right back for July 4th weekend and it just gets more fun each time. Elizabeth said after the first time that she would hook us up when We came back. Bet she didn’t expect We would come back that fast but she really wonderful and set us up for when we came back. (Hope I didn’t get you in trouble lol)Mama boss was extremely nice when I made my reservation and all the staff members look like they really enjoy being around people and doing their jobs. Never let the price or fear of falling off scare you from going. It’s Beyond worth it and you will never regret it. We are coming back for sure before the summer ends for at least another 2 sessions minimum. The Waverunners are new and fast and the space is perfect to race around and do tricks. Long story short I love this place and can’t wait to come back! Going to check out parasailing aswell

Thank You 😊
Elizabeth is not in trouble!

Fabulous experience! Highly recommend!
Our group of 10 rented all eight WaveRunners and had a blast! The riding area was huge. The skis were fast and their speed was not restricted. The staff was friendly and relaxed. Our group consisted of six young adults aged 17 to 22 and their parents. It was no problem for the 17 year-old to drive his own WaveRunner. Staff was responsible, but not overbearing, and allowed us to have fun. We have ridden at other nearby locations over the years, but this was the best, hands-down. We will return!

Had a bad experience that fell on deaf ears. The crew gave me a key fob for the the wrong jet ski or my boat had serious fuel and ignition issues. It ran enough to get me through the No Wake Zone and then it was was like riding a floating log. Top speed 16 knots and in corners10 knots. Barely planing off. Spoke with the guys on the water and then in the office. Said they would look into it.That did nothing for my bum ride of $90.00 and not another reply from them since. There are options for other rides. GO ELSE WHERE. Thanks for the downer of the day, Jeff

My family and I have been coming here for the past 5 or 6 years during our annual trip to Wildwood. Always a fun time, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the wave runners are in top shape. Would recommend Wildwood Waverunners to anyone!

I give it a three only based on where you ride. The staff was terrific, all very kind, very helpful. The skis were in good shape, although my left grip was wound with black electric tape which made my hand hurt a bit. My wife, son had singles and I had my daughter with me on a double. The time does go fast though but the 45 minutes is better than most when we are further down south in the States. However, the bay area in which you ride, just outside the window of the Two Mile Crab House is not picturesque, lots of bugs when in no wake zone, and you are driving NASCAR style as you are told to go left in a circle within the buoy's You can sway and try and make some fun of it, but not being able to conquer the waves of the ocean leaves this a bit boring. Wish they would take you out for at least a moment into The Atlantic but I am sure there is some insurance motivation as well. Still a good price for the duration

No Ocean time is allowed in NJ unless you own the waverunners. You are correct about insurance. Thank you for complimenting our staff!

Great staff, instruction. Enough time to somewhat master maneuvering on the water. Contained area was good. My husband and I went together and switched drivers half way through. My 16 year old drove my 13 year old around. Topped out at 50 mph. Not as rough as open water.

Excellent Experience overall. Very easy to book online. We started right on time with great instruction from their crew. Ample waverunner area, had a blast riding them for the 45 minutes. Hit a wave at 45 MPH and shot oof my waverunner with my passenger, we were both fine but the staff was over to us in a minute and helped us get back on our waverunner. Definitely will use them again.

My teenagers had a great time. Seadoos and Yamahas up to 50mph. There is a sectioned-off area of the bay that you can ride around counter-clockwise or freestyle. Just enough space to have fun for 45min. If you’re looking for a scenic ride, this might not be for you. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Would do it again.

How this deposit refund works? Do we have to check out like we do in the hotel or they’ll just refund you after you finish?

They just hold your credit card and license until you come back and it’s not damaged. No charge is actually made on your credit card for a deposit .
What are your rates?

$80 for 45 minutes of riding time. $10 for an extra passenger.
Look online under specials for $10 coupons on each waverunner. $15 off on early bird rentals. Wildwood Waverunners.
