Sea Monkeys Rentals
Jet skis: a ride of 1 hour 15 minutes, with up to three on a ski (400 lb in all), usually two adults and a child. The renter must be 18; drivers can be 16 with a license, but then every passenger must be 18 or older.
Boats: pontoon and other boats to drive yourself around the harbour and back creeks.
Kayaks and paddleboards: single and tandem rentals for the calm water behind the harbour.
Before You Go
Reserve ahead in the summer, because the rides fill; Sea Monkeys is closed on Sundays. Anyone born after July 1, 2007 needs an approved boater course to drive a boat or jet ski of 10 horsepower or more, though renters can ride with a qualified adult. Our jet ski guide compares every rental, and the water sports guide covers the rest.
