Renting a Jet Ski

Making use of any of the facilities for jet ski rentals can provide one with many hours of enjoyment on the water whether it be on the weekend or part of a vacation trip. The cost of jet ski rentals, per se, is relatively inexpensive.


You can obtain a jet ski rental for around $30.00 per hour in some locations. Therefore, a day on the lake using any of the daily jet ski rentals is approximately $240.00.

Stand-up vs. Sit-down
Normally, at most jet ski marinas, you can choose between boat and jet ski rentals or rentals for Sea Doo watercrafts. The Sea Doo watercraft is manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP). Generally, jet skis are thought of as stand-up PWCs while the Sea Doo is normally distinguished as a sit-down PWC.

A Small History of the Jet Ski
Although people refer to the jet ski in generic terms, Kawasaki is responsible for making this term for personal watercrafts or PWCs a common term among jet ski enthusiasts. Invented by Clayton Jacobsen, the Jet Ski was brought on the market in a limited number by Kawasaki in 1973. The company instituted mass production of the Jet Ski in1976.

Introduction and Re-introduction of the Sea Doo
The Sea Doo PWC debuted in 1968 when Bombardier introduced its first sit-down model on the market. The Sea Doo is a “play-on-words” version of Bombardier’s snowmobile known as a Ski-Doo which initially was designed to replace the dogsled.

As the Ski-Doo was such a premier product, in 1970 the manufacture of Sea Doos dwindled because of design difficulties that couldn’t be addressed at the time.

As a result Kawasaki stepped up the manufacture of their Jet Skis. Bombardier later reinstituted marketing the Sea Doo craft almost twenty years later as a PWC for the general populace as they believed the Jet Ski was more suitable for athletically-inclined or more competitive individuals.
