Highlight of Our Honeymoon - Ethan was a fantastic tour guide. When we first started, he was polite; kind; and very instructional but also very relaxed which made us feel comfortable with him. Throughout the tour as he realized we were getting better, we were able to go much faster, turn more, and cover a lot of distance on the water. My wife and I are here on our honeymoon for 9 days, and even though we did a lot of stuff, this was the absolute highlight of it all!

Great experience, even for beginners - Overall great experience, our guide was excellent. We had never been on a jet ski before, much less driven one, and guide was excellent at clear instruction and giving us a little flexibility to get used to it. Whole family had a fabulous time, kids said it was the best day of our vacation.

Great start of the trip - Had a great time! Guide saved a crab full of barnacles while at the island. Kept it fun on the jet skis. Skis ran great. Once we got back they had live band and art show at the dock.

Our best PCB experience for sure! - A must do - so much fun! Our guide, Ethan, did a fabulous job! He made sure everyone in our group was good to go throughout the tour and checked in frequently. Being over 60, and not as athletic as I used to be, I was worried about being able to get back up on the jet ski in open water if the need arose... he was confident it would not be a problem... and he was right! We did, unfortunately need to test his ability and in no time, he had me back up on the ski and ready to keep going! Lots of laughter, saw dolphins up close - best memory of our trip to PCB!
