Amazing Experience! - Amazing experience. It’s not so much guided as they just take you around the island. Josh, our guide, was amazing!! Request him if possible. They even give you tons of “free time” to ride around going as fast as you want!

Wonderful jet ski trip - Had a blast going out on the jet ski with D’Moi leading. So much fun!! We have gone out with D’Moi before and he always makes it a great trip. This was my wife’s first time to take a jet ski on her own and she loved it. We never think twice about booking with Cruz Bay Watersports!

Best tour ever - This was our second time riding jet skis and this has to be the best tour ever!!! Our guide was extremely awesome, he allowed us to have some fun and mess around a bit with the jet skis. Totally worth the price, 100% recommended!! We had a blast to say the least!!

**Amazing Guided Jet Ski Tour and Fantastic Guide in St. John** - Cruz Bay Watersports made our visit to St. John unforgettable! We loved the convenience of having their storefront right at our resort, the Westin St. John Resort & Villas, making it so easy to book a tour. The guided jet ski tour we took was hands-down the most fun we had during our trip!
We started the 1 hour tour from our resort in Great Cruz Bay to our 1st stop at Steven Cay before heading north to Two Brothers island for more fun jet skiiing near the island. On the way back, we stopped near deeper waters to zip around Moraviane Reef - safe for jet skiing and being away from boat traffic.
A special shout-out to our guide, **Josh**, who took incredible care of us throughout the entire experience. I was a bit nervous at first, but Josh was so attentive and made me feel completely at ease. He kept a close eye on me while I followed behind and ensured that I was comfortable and safe the whole time.
Josh also went above and beyond by taking plenty of videos and photos of us on the jet skis, which gave us the best memories to take home. If you're looking for a fun and safe adventure while in St. John, **Cruz Bay Watersports** is the way to go. We'll definitely be back!

Great time - We had a great time. Josh was very good giving us time and space to learn how to handle the jet ski and keeping us safe from the boats. Would highly recommend if you want to try out a jet ski while in St John’s.

You Won’t Regret It! - Cruz Bay Watersports is the best. Kyra did a great job getting us ready for our Jet Ski and the manager as well getting us prepped for go time. Josh is a great tour guide he made sure we were all good to go and once we really got going he made sure he kept and eye on us and kept us safe out there as we rode. He is very knowledgeable of the Caribbean waters and the land as well. We even went a second. If you can squeeze this into your trip we highly encourage it. Thank you to everyone at CBW for our tour!

Very fun jet ski experience on St John USVI - Three of us rented two JetSkis for this one hour tour in late November 2023. A father/daughter pair joined us for the tour, which was led by a guide on his Jet Ski as well.
After checking in at the Cruz Bay Watersports office at the St John Westin, we went down to the beach to get our flotation devices and safety briefing (including instruction and practice on jet ski operation and hand signals).
The tour starts from the beach at the St John Westin resort, and heads out from there. It is comprised of three rest stops, first at Steven Cay right off of the entrance to Cruz Bay, and then crosses Pillsbury sound to the lee of Mingo and Grass Cays, and from there back to Frank Bay, and then ending back at the Westin. The tour guide was very helpful, and stayed ahead of everyone, but zigzagged to keep an eye on all of us as we traversed the water. We followed the guide for the whole trip, and kept below 3kts and within harbor entrance buoys in the no wake zones of Great Cruz Bay, but otherwise, were free to go any speed we felt comfortable with. The guide watched over and paced all of us, signalling if we needed to slow down for a rest stop, etc...
I think initially everyone was a bit timid as far as speed goes, but by the end of the hour, most everyone was zig-zagging at pretty high (fun!) speeds, or going flat-out at even higher (really fun!) speeds! The guide had really good advice and informative stories about the island/cay/beach at each of the rest stops, and stayed with us the entire trip. We sort of loosely followed him across the sound to all the stops- he did a great job shepherding us safely around the occasional boat or two that we approached.
Some more related thoughts about this activity:
1) I honestly didn't realize there actually were Jet Ski opportunities on St John. This is awesome!
2) I also thought we might not even venture out of any of the west side St John bays, but wow we immediately went out into the sound, where there are small waves...real no kidding jet skiing! far more fun than I thought it was going to be!
3) the three of us in my group had all ridden jet skis before, but I suspect this activity would work for a beginner as well...they just might be less likely to go fast. Only three controls - on/off, speed, and steering.
4) this is a great, high action activity that only takes a little over an hour out of your day...a great opportunity if you are looking for something unusual to do on St John, or if you just need a few hours break from visiting beaches, bars and hiking trails!

So fun! - This was so much fun!!!!! It was easy to register for this online and I received several confirmation emails. We were staying at The Westin so it was easy for us to get to the beach. The jet skis were well maintained and our guide Josh was friendly and great!
