Folly Beach jet ski rentals

WHY RENT JET SKIS WITH US?

Anyone can offer jet ski rentals. We are a small boutique family-owned business that offers a jet ski experience!

Jump waves off-shore, dolphin watch, chill on a beach…we can provide it all!

This is a group guided ride that can be up to 5 skis at one time. The ride goes through the marsh and hopefully out to the ocean, near the Morris Island Lighthouse, where we turn you loose out on the open water to jump waves or just ride weather permitting! The ride then continues back through the marsh a different way creating a large loop back to the dock stopping to see Dolphin along the way! PRIVATE RIDES ARE AVAILABLE FOR MINIMUM 4 SKIS OR $800+fees.
Non-experienced riders should book the 9:30am time slot and more experienced riders should book afternoons BUT please be aware that unless you are booking a private group, you may need to have some PATIENCE at the beginning of the ride. We promise no one has had a bad time, look at reviews and Facebook page, so don’t let this deter you as it’s honestly a great ride!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there facilities at the docks?

None of the locations have facilities at the dock.

Can we switch riders/driver's at the dock during the rental?

No, sorry! Docks are public and not for business use like that.

If there is bad weather, do we get a refund or prorated refund?

We check the radar starting an hour before each rental, as well as during the rental, to see if there is anything obvious going on where the reservation needs to be moved or cancelled. Most of the time, rentals are able to happen with a slight delay at worst case but in the off chance it needs to be cancelled, we try to reschedule for a different day or time. If we are not able to reschedule then the payment is fully refunded.

If you're out on the water and must come in due to a pop up storm, then we can wait for it to pass. Usually in 10-20 minutes it passes and your able to continue your rental! There is not a prorated refund if you must return to the dock before the end of your rental.

What is the cancellation policy?

Reservations are non-refundable unless we must cancel the rental due to weather that makes it unsafe to ride. Cloudy weather, small rainstorms around in the area are not reasons to cancel. If you want to cancel, you can at any time for any reason and we do offer a future rental credit that doesn't expire!
