 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our large group rented a pontoon boat, double decker pontoon and jet ski to hang out at crab island for an afternoon. We had a great time. I search multiple vendors and Destin X was the most cost effective. Highly recommend

I highly recommend using this company for all of your jet ski needs at Destin, they care about your business. I called them up after Boogie Watersports cancelled my package for rust colored water and high winds, Destin Waterfun gladly accepted my business. Their team was extremely friendly, Informative and very knowledgeable. They got us on the water in new jet skis that performed well and were amazing. On my next vacation I’m choosing them first!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fabulous time on the wave runner! Best price for the longest amount of time. We had a dolphin jump right next to us and another swim under us. There were a few other dolphins that were swimming around in the harbor as well. We saw a sting ray, a couple crabs, and, of course, some jelly fish. Matt and Nick were great getting us set up and ready for the ride. Thank you so much Extreme H2O, we will be back again next year!

We were having an epic disaster of a Vacation up until we looked for some activity to turn everything around. Ashley and Olivia were not just welcoming but so positive and helpful. They really helped put smiles back on our faces when we needed it most! Great service with a priceless experience for our family! If I could give them more 5 stars I would! Highly recommend 2 hour jet ski rentals to account for the no wake idle speed requirement as well as it not being too much time. The deck crew was friendly and patient as well! Bring cash as they work for tips!

Destin Jet Ski Rental / WaveRunner Rental Restrictions & Requirements

The person signing the contract / waiver must be 18 and have a valid ID. You must be 18 to operate a waverunner / jet ski. You must be at least 5 to ride and cannot sit on the front of the jet ski. Life jackets (PFD’s) and fuel are included with all pontoon boat rentals and waverunner / jet-ski rentals.

Please Read! Boater’s Safety Education Certificate Required For Destin Jet Ski Rentals

If the driver is born after January 1, 1988, they must present a boating safety education identification card issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or the equivalent from another state. Visitors from out of state who do not have a card issued by their home state can take a Temporary Certificate test. We do offer the temporary Boater’s Safety Education Course so you can obtain your temporary boater’s certificate. If you need to take the Boater’s Safety Course, please allow plenty of time for this, so that you can depart on time.

You can go to here and get your temporary certificate.

Pursuant to section 327.54, Florida Statutes, only a licensed livery operator may give safety instructions on the operation of a vessel. Due to staffing, we are unable to provide safety instruction in languages other than English at this time, nor can we permit members of the public to translate for guests. Thank you for your understanding.

Where to Pick Up Your Destin Jet Ski Rental — Parking & Check-In

Jet skis stage at three docks around Destin — yours is fueled and waiting whichever you pick.

Choose Your Dock

Your departure dock is set by the jet ski option you choose at checkout — it’s shown right on the listing and again in your confirmation email.

Destin Water Fun — Destin Harbor: 214 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 898-1204
Your jet ski waits dockside right here on the harbor. Get directions

Gilligan's Watersports: 530 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 650-9000
Rentals also stage down the harbor at 530. Get directions

Xtreme H2O — Crab Island Launch: 7 Calhoun Ave, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 978-3060
Ride from the launch across from Crab Island — out of the no-wake zone in about two minutes. Get directions

Parking

Destin Water Fun (214 Harbor Blvd): customer parking on site covers one vehicle per reservation, first come, first served — on busy days we suggest carpooling. Extra vehicles park free at 310 Mountain Drive or for $15 per vehicle at 285 US-98 W. RVs and trailers can’t park on site and use the paid public lot across the street.

Gilligan's Watersports (530 Harbor Blvd): free on-property parking, first come, first served, with overflow at 531 Mountain Drive.

Xtreme H2O (7 Calhoun Ave): public parking at the Destin Marina beside the launch — limited on high-volume days, so carpool when possible.

Check-In

Fastest way onto the water: knock out Florida’s temporary boater test online before you arrive — drivers born on or after January 1, 1988 need the certificate, and having it done makes check-in easier and faster. You can also take the $3 NASBLA test right at the dock; just allow extra time. Show up 45 minutes before your start time with a photo ID for every driver, and the dock team will handle life jackets and the safety rundown before sending you flying.

Bring along: reef-safe sunscreen, a secure hat, something waterproof for your phone, and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks — glass stays home.
