If you are looking for a cool and refreshing way to enjoy your summer vacation, try renting a personal watercraft (PWC), also called a Jet Ski or Waverunner. Riding a personal watercraft is one of the greatest joys of being on the lake.
If you’re considering a day out on Lake Havasu, then you might be wondering how much to rent a jet ski for a day that you’re going to need to set aside. That being said, in this article, we’ll explore some of the factors that go into jet ski rental prices and what average prices are. That way, you can best plan your trip - whether it’s a half day, a full day, or several days in a row. Without further ado, let’s jump in.
Average Jet Ski Rental Costs
So, without further ado, how much does a jet ski cost to rent? All in all, jet ski rentals cost around $100 per hour to rent. In other words, if you’re going to rent a jet ski for four hours, it’ll be around $400. If you want to rent it for longer, it’ll be around double that price. The longer you rent the jet ski, the less the price is per hour typically.
That being said, every location and every jet ski rental company has its own unique prices. You can also reach out to our friendly experts from At The Bridge Rentals for exact information on prices. Still, if you’re wondering about some of the factors that contribute to that price, let’s take a look at some of the primary things to keep in mind:

- Location: Geographical location can make a difference when renting any kind of vehicle. For instance, renting a jet ski in New York would be different than renting a jet ski in North Carolina or even Texas. Every state has its own local markets, and that will factor into the price.
- The Type Of Watercraft You’re Renting: The type of jet ski or sea-doo that you’re taking for a ride will certainly affect the price that you pay. Larger watercraft will naturally be a little more expensive. More powerful watercraft will also add to the price.
- Timing: Depending on the time of year or even the week that you rent the jet ski, the prices could change. Don’t be surprised to find that it’s slightly more pricey to rent a jet ski on the weekend, for instance, than it would be on a Tuesday.
Jet Ski Brands
Each are types of PWC's or Personal Watercrafts. JetSki is the trademarked name for Kawasaki's line of PWC's. WaveRunner is the trademarked name for Yamaha's line of PWC's. SeaDoo is the trademarked name for Bombardier's line of PWC's. Some people commonly think of "Jet Skis" as the stand up type of PWC, and the WaveRunner as the sit down type. This is not true.

Rental Requirements and Safety
Florida boating laws require anyone born after January 1, 1988 to have a Florida’s boater’s safety license in order to operate a Jet Ski or pontoon boat. New Jersey State Law states that PWC rental business (that's us) must not rent to anyone under the age of 18 years. Children must be 44" or taller typically 6yrs old to be a passenger on a ski. A parent or guardian must fill out a waiver. No pregnant person is allowed to jet ski.
Prior to your adventure, you will be given a safety briefing on the State and Local personal watercraft regulations by a USCG licensed captain. You also will be instructed on the safe operation of your Jet Ski so you will be fully informed about your rental! Then you will be escorted out to East Coast's large, safe riding area, and your boundaries will be identified for your safety.
Our On-water guide (escort) will go over the "rules of the water", including safety information and familiarizing you with the equipment and how it works before you hit the water. We provide an On-water guide that will be on hand to assist with any assistance that you may need, they will also let you know when it's time to come back in. Our guide is there for your safety. He's there (on his own ski) to lead you through any of the speed restricted safety zones (NO WAKE ZONES), he'll even point out some local points of interest as you are led to the area where the serious play begins. Once there our guide will be on hand to provide any assistance that you may need. There is no additional charge, it's all part of the top level service.
Jet skis can reach high speeds inside of the ride zone. However, during your guided ride, our guides will ensure that you operate the jet ski at safe and appropriate speeds for the conditions and your experience level.It is not recommended during the ride due to the high traffic of other riders in the zone. Instead, we provide designated areas for breaks and photo opportunities to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment. Our guides will point out these areas during the safety briefing before your ride.

If damage occurs and machine cannot be rented until repairs are made, you will lose the entire deposit. Examples of a $500 fee are a large hole or crack in machine allowing water to enter hull, damage to rear jet from rear ending another jet ski or driving outside of marked riding area which causes damage to the impellor. If minor damage occurs to rub rail or bumpers or you cause small scratches or knicks to the machine, then you will be refunded only half of your deposit for a charge of $250 for the repairs. This is the deductible to replace the ski. You will be required to have a major credit card to be placed on file while renting the PWC.
