Quick Details
Jet Ski Dolphin Tours, also known as the “Back Bay Tour,” are by far the most popular and best-valued activity we have to offer. We only book our Naples Jet Ski tours on Bonita Beach with a maximum of six watercraft per tour to ensure a more intimate experience. We can accommodate much larger private groups if necessary, just contact us for more information. The Dolphin Tour is the best of both worlds! Reserve early!
The tour begins with free time in the Gulf of Mexico. This enables the operator to get comfortable with the equipment. Next, we make our way north into Estero Bay. Once in the bay, your guide will take you through and around the mangrove islands of the bay.
You may encounter dolphin, manatee, rays, and a variety of bird species including osprey and the American bald eagle.

Anyone born on or after January 1st 1988 (at this time approximately anyone under 35) is required by the state of Florida to possess a boating license to operate a jet ski or boat. The purpose of this is for education and safety. Since implementing this law in 2002 boat accidents and deaths have dropped dramatically. Luckily the state allows people on vacation to get a temporary permit. Click here to get a permit boating license PASSENGERS DO NOT NEED BOATING PERMIT
To rent a jet ski and sign a legal contract a person must be at least 18 years old with a valid government issued photo ID. Also a person must be a minimum of 14 years old to legally operate a jet ski. Anyone born on or after January 1st 1988 is required to have a boating license by law. Boating license permits are available for purchase online or purchase at our physical location. The cost is $3. As long as a legal guardian is present with photo ID, minors between the ages 14-17 with boating license are allowed to drive the jet skis by themselves, but can not take other minors as passengers.
A watch is provided and attached to the jet ski so you can keep track of rental time.
A valid government photo I.D. (operators only, not required for passengers). Also, apply a reef safe sunscreen before arrival. It works much better that way! If you are going on the jet ski tour you are welcome to bring a small bottle of water and some extra reef safe sunscreen to reapply. Also, if desired, floating straps for sunglasses, bathing suit, towel, and sun protective clothing made for water sports.
No. We only rent our Jet Skis for ½ hour and 1 Hour increments. If you want to rent for more than one hour you would have to return the equipment after the original rental time and re-rent filling out a new contract.
It depends on conditions. Normally when conditions are calm we allow for 4 years old and up for jet ski rentals and 6 years old and up for jet ski tours. When conditions are a little choppy we require strong swimmers 8 and up. We can advise you what is safe at the time of your jet ski rental, based upon weather and water conditions.
