Key West jet ski tour prices

How much is a jet ski tour in Key West?

Between $151 and $225 per jet ski on Viator in 2026, depending on the operator and the length of the ride.

The 90-minute island tours cluster tightly around $151 to $156. You pay more for a longer ride, a smaller group or a fixed morning slot.

Is the price per person or per jet ski?

Per jet ski. Every tour in the table lets a second rider share the ski at no extra cost.

Sunset Watersports says you can ride tandem with a friend at no additional cost. Fury calls the additional rider free, Six Fins lets passengers ride free, and Key West Boat & Jet Ski sells each ski for up to two riders. Barefoot Billy's lists the same price for one rider or two on its own tour page. Weight limits decide who can share: 400 lb per ski at Key West Boat & Jet Ski, 450 lb at Sunset Watersports and Barefoot Billy's, 460 lb at Fury and Six Fins.

One jet ski or two?

Share one ski to halve the cost; book two if both of you want to drive the whole way.

Partners can usually swap driving at a stop. Anyone born in 1988 or later needs the boater certificate before taking the handlebars. Opinions split: one guest who rode two-up said it was not as fun and would book two skis next time, while another loved riding together at no extra expense.

What costs extra on the day?

A gratuity for the guides, the boater certificate if you need it, and any photos you buy.

Sunset Watersports and Fury list gratuities as not included. The temporary boater certificate is an online test, and the listings quote about $10 to $14. Fury sells photos of your ride at the end. On its catamaran trips, groups of 8 or more pay an automatic 10% gratuity.

Why does the 2-hour tour cost more?

You get 30 more minutes on the water and a smaller group: Six Fins caps the tour at six jet skis.

Guests on the Six Fins tour describe swim stops, a rope swing and an area where they could ride freely. Neoprene shorts and a day pass to the Perry Hotel pool and gym are included. At $225 per ski it is the most expensive jet ski option here. It also rates 4.9.

Is Viator more expensive than booking direct?

Sometimes. In October 2026 the operators' own sites list about $150 to $170 per ski at standard times and less for some promo slots, against $151 to $156 on Viator.

Sunset Watersports lists $160 per ski, with the 9:30 AM tour cheaper under a promo code. Barefoot Billy's lists $149.99 for its 10 AM tour with a code and $160 at other times. Fury gives a range of $120 to $170 per ski. Viator's case is one checkout, free cancellation up to 24 hours before and the reviews in one place; if you book direct, read the operator's own cancellation terms.

Whichever you pick, make sure your voucher shows the number of riders. One guest on a third-party booking reported a mix-up over the free second rider at check-in, so bring the confirmation on your phone.

Are there cheaper ways to ride a jet ski in Key West?

Yes: the multi-activity boat trips include jet skiing from a platform for a per-person price.

The catamaran water sports adventure ($130 per person) and the water sports day with lunch ($172 per person) add jet skiing to parasailing, a banana boat and more. The catch: these are boat trips with a jet ski session, not a guided lap of the island.

Is a Key West jet ski tour worth the money?

For most riders, yes: the island tours rate 4.6 to 4.9 and guests often call them the highlight of their trip.

It is poor value if you want a slow sightseeing ride. The guided laps move fast. If that is you, read Key West jet ski tours compared before you book.
