Memories made on the water..

At Ride The Tide adventures, it’s about more than just riding.

An experience that only Ride The Tide can bring! From first-time riders to lifelong thrill seekers, every adventure becomes a story worth remembering!

We provide an experience like nobody else!!

We believe an unforgettable day on the water is about much more than simply riding a jet ski. Every guided tour is designed to be safe, comfortable, and packed with adventure while allowing you to explore Southwest Florida's beautiful waterways with confidence.

 

Guided Adventures:

All of our experiences are professionally guided. Bring your own personal watercraft and follow our experienced guide as we explore hidden islands, scenic waterways, sandbars, wildlife habitats, and breathtaking coastal destinations. As our fleet grows, a limited number of jet skis will also become available for guests who don't own one.

Our rescue sled is carried during every tour to assist riders if an emergency occurs, or if you've simply just fallen off your ski, helping us get you to safety quickly.

Sharkbanz:

Available upon request, Sharkbanz use scientifically tested magnetic technology designed to reduce the likelihood of unwanted shark encounters, giving guests additional peace of mind while enjoying the water.

Professional Photo & Video Packages: (Optional)

Capture your adventure with stunning footage using our Insta360 and GoPro HERO13 cameras. Custom-edited highlight videos and high-quality action photos are available as an optional add-on, allowing you to relive and share your Ride The Tide experience long after your adventure ends.

 

Safety Comes First!

 

Your safety is our highest priority. Every guided adventure includes a comprehensive safety briefing before departure, professional navigation, emergency communication equipment, and continuous guidance throughout the tour.
