Straight answers to the questions we get every day at the dock. Everything here applies to jet ski rentals, backcountry tours, and pontoon boat rentals on the Intracoastal Waterway.
How much does a jet ski rental cost in Myrtle Beach?
Jet ski rentals in Myrtle Beach at Island Adventure Watersports start at $125 per hour per jet ski. Each Yamaha VX seats up to two riders with a 400 lb combined limit, and fuel, life jackets, and the safety briefing are included, so the price you book is the price you pay. Guided backcountry jet ski tours start at $220 per jet ski for two hours.
Do you need a license to rent a jet ski in Myrtle Beach?
You need to be 18 or older with a valid driver's license to operate one of our jet skis. Passengers of any age can ride with an adult operator. South Carolina does not require a boating license for recreational rentals, so no card or course is needed for our pontoon and tritoon boat rentals either.
Where is Island Adventure Watersports?
Our dock is at 5843 Dick Pond Road, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588, on the Intracoastal Waterway near Socastee. That is about 15 minutes from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and 10 minutes from Surfside Beach, with free parking on site. Look for our sign off Dick Pond Road and arrive 15 minutes before your start time.
What is the riding area like?
Every ride happens on the freshwater Intracoastal Waterway inside a nature preserve, with flat, calm water and no crowded beach traffic. Hourly rentals ride in our exclusive area near the dock. Backcountry jet ski tours cover 50-plus miles south through the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge with a stop at Sandy Island.
When are you open, and when should I book?
We run March through October, 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM daily. Jet ski rentals go out from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and boat rentals start at 9:00 AM. Summer weekends from June through August sell out days ahead and morning slots go first, so reserve online before you arrive. Walk-ins are welcome when there is space.
What happens if the weather turns or plans change?
We ask for 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. If lightning or high winds make the water unsafe, we reschedule your ride at no charge. Light rain rarely stops a ride on the waterway. More answers are on our FAQ page, or call (843) 650-7003.
