Idle Speed Watersports Rentals FAQ

What is the earliest time of day that someone can rent a jet ski from Idle Speed?

We open every day at 9:30 am (weather permitting)! Our jet skis are available as soon as we open (as long as they haven’t already been reserved).

Can I rent a Jet Ski From Idle Speed to take to another beach?

No. We do not allow our equipment to be rented and taken off-premises or out of sight of our staff for any reason. We hope you will consider one of our awesome Island Jet Ski Adventures instead! It’s a 90-minute free ride all the way up to the Islands. You could even do two back-to-back for over 3 hours of fun!

What makes Clearwater beach the best place for a Jet Ski experience?

Clearwater Beach has incredible scenery and wildlife, and there’s no better way to experience it than with one of our amazing Island Jet Ski Experiences!

Why Should I choose Idle Speed water sports for watersports renal?

There are a ton of great reasons to choose Idle Speed! First, with hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google, our customer service has been proven to be top-tier!  Our Jet ski island tours are the best in the area, with more freedom to explore than any other! Plus, if you are staying on the North end of Clearwater Beach, we are much easier to access than the few other jet ski rentals on the island, saving you a lot of commute time.

What is included in a Jet ski rental?

We offer an amazing 90-minute free ride all across the islands of Clearwater Beach (Honeymoon, Caladesi, and Three Rooker). We provide a guide who will help you take photos and videos, too! Feel free to give us a call during business hours to speak with one of our friendly staff, and they would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!

How many people are permitted on a jet ski tour in Clearwater?

The maximum number of allowable passengers per jet ski is 2, and the maximum number of skis per tour is 6.  So we have a theoretical maximum of 12 people

How many different types of Jet Skis do you have available for rent?

We have eight total jet skis. We have four 2022 Yamaha EX jet skis, two VX-C, and two FX jet skis.

What is the cost of renting a jet ski?

Please check out jet ski rental page

What do I wear/bring?

Most of our renters wear bathing suits and wear plenty of sunscreen to protect their skin from the strong Florida sunshine. You should also ensure you bring your Photo ID, as this is required for us to rent to you!

Do I have to take a boaters test?

While anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, must have, in their possession, a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card (or a valid FWC and NASBLA-approved boating education certificate). This isn’t a barrier to enjoying a Jet Ski! If you do not have a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card, you can take the Temporary Boating Safety Education Certificate exam prior to your reservation.
