Ride the Tide Jet Ski Adventures

For jet ski rentals in the Myrtle Beach area, this outfit based out of Grande Harbour Marina in North Myrtle Beach is worth a look. The owners are both USCG licensed captains with a combined 40 years of experience on the water, and every rental includes a staff member on the water with you for safety and guidance.

Rental options range from a quick 30-minute ride for first-timers or anyone who just wants to get out on the water for a bit, to a one-hour cruise where you can choose between the open Atlantic or the calmer waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. The most popular option is the two-hour Dolphin Tour, which takes you out to the Atlantic to ride alongside wild bottlenose dolphins, stop off at an undeveloped barrier island, and explore the surrounding marsh trails if you’re an experienced rider.

The fleet runs new SeaDoo GTI 130s, and the staff keeps them on a strict maintenance schedule. If anything goes wrong with your ski, they’ll swap it out at no charge. They also price match or beat any other jet ski rental rates in the area, with the best deals available on early morning bookings.
