Jet skiing and parasailing

[jmallory]

Can anyone recommend a place to jet ski and Parasailing? I'm staying in Miami Beach, so I'll probably want to go somewhere nearby.

In south beach, Boucher Bros offer jetski rentals and parasailing near 15'th street and 9'th street. The picture below shows their rates and offerings.

On the bay side, there is a jet ski place that offers guided tours from the Miami Beach Marina. Their website is: http://www.jetskiz.com/

I also saw a couple online that offer tours around Miami on jet ski between 1 hour and 2 hours.

I've been on a few 2 hour jet ski "tours", and when they say tours of Miami, basically all it means is a trip into Biscayne Bay around a couple of the islands and maybe out to Key Biscayne. When I did it in the late 1990s, they would also take you around the cruise ships -- but I think they discontinued that after 9-11. I had a lot of fun, but my upper legs were so sore the following day, I could barely walk!

There is a company on the beach near the very southern end, about even with 2nd Street. Just look for a bunch of jet skis out there. You can also go to the Marina on the west side of the island, just south of the MacArthur Causeway, and there are jet skis available there. For the parasailing, you'll probably have to ask the Boucher Brothers.

I avoid Boucher bro's theif's at all cost.

Any info on the outfit in the marina ?

I know I'm a bit late on this jmallory, but I know you plan on returning

The place I recommend is Jet Ski Tours

They have been in business a LONG time and the owner is super-cool.

Key Biscayne Fl has a lot of rentals too I have seen parasailing but I'm not 100% sure about jet skiing.
