We recommend a gratuity of 20% or more. If your captain and mate helped you to have a great trip, be sure to thank them!

      What are your prices?

      Toggle FAQ

      Prices for activities can vary. Live pricing is available when you click book now!

      Do I need a waiver?

      Toggle FAQ

      Yes all activities will require a waiver. We also require a predeparture checklist and DNREC form completed before your trip.

      Do I need a boater's license to rent a jet ski or boat?

      Toggle FAQ

      The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill in 2007 that requires all boaters to complete a state-approved boaters education course. If you meet this requirement, please bring proof of completion. If you have not completed an approved course, in compliance with this bill as a rental operator, our agreement between the renter and Sea Rocket Ticketing Services, LLC allows us to provide a brief safety overview & questionnaire upon arrival that will cover this requirement for the duration of your rental.

      Do I need to wear a life jacket on my trip?

      Toggle FAQ

      State law requires you to wear a life jacket on any PWC (Jet Ski). On boats, all children 12 and under are required to wear a life jacket.

      How many passengers can we have?

      Toggle FAQ

      We allow one driver and one passenger per Jet Ski. Skiff rentals accommodate up to 4 people. Pontoons accommodate up to 10 people.

      Is there a weight limit?

      Toggle FAQ

      Yes, there is a combined weight limit of 375lbs per jet ski. We reserve the right to make judgment calls based on passenger weight. This is for your safety!

      Putting two larger adult customers on the jet ski together increases the chance of capsizing the jet ski. Capsizing the ski causes the rider to fall off and can also sink and/or damage the vessel which is ultimately the renter’s responsibility. Safety is our #1 priority!

      Do you have to have boating experience?

      Toggle FAQ

      We strongly recommend having some boating experience. If you don’t have experience, we will teach you everything you need to know in order to safely operate the vessel. We have a thorough checkout procedure that covers vessel operation, rules of the water, and emergency procedures. Your safety and enjoyment are our #1 priority!

      Where can we take the rental boat?

      Toggle FAQ

      Sightseeing, swimming, fishing, and crabbing are just a few of the possibilities. You can also bring rafts to float on while the vessel is anchored. Towable activities (i.e. tubing and waterskiing) are prohibited. Ask our employees for recommendations! We can guide you to various cruising locations and points of interest!

      Toggle FAQ

With that being said, we go over all the rules and necessary operating procedures before you hit the water. You can download or view a copy of our Release of Liability/Waiver and Departure/Safety Checklist using the link on this page.
