Jet Ski Fun - You have to swim about 40 feet to the jet skis but besides that the tour was amazing and our tour guide was great. Definitely worth it

Unforgettable Ride with Stunning Island Views - This was my second time with Dockside Jetski at Frenchman’s Reef, and both times have been amazing! The staff is friendly and professional, the jetskis run great, and the views of the island and marine life are absolutely amazing. A perfect mix of thrill and tropical beauty—highly recommended!

Super fun ride, picturesque scenery, good instruction. - My daughters and I had a great time on the tour. Our guide took us on a big loop around the islands and through the bay. We stopped at Water Island and idled over sea turtles and even saw a ray gliding under us! He was knowledgeable about the area and the history and, importantly, safety minded about the water and weather conditions (we had to postpone our original trip due to high winds). He instructed us on how to best make it over the choppy seas and everyone felt comfortable and had a great time.

Who needs a boat, get the jet ski !!! - Awesome!!! First time on jet ski. Kudos to Devin, his instructions were on point. This is one of those moments the family will remember. This was an hour trip but you will want more.I wish I had my GoPro !
By the way they have somewhere to secure belongings, if you wear glasses you can wear them with the cord so you won't lose them.

Spend your money on a more enjoyable tour elsewhere - Do not bother if you are not avid jet skiers. The guide was an absolute jerk to my son and nephew (19 & 20 year olds). he gave zero instructions other than his hand signals for kill the engine and slow down and then was the jerk of the century when they knew nothing more. Neither of them have ever driven a jet skiers before. They were only on the water for 30 minutes or less and we paid for an hour. Find something else to do with your time and don’t waste your hard earned money on this place. We will be back to St. Thomas, will we NOT be back to this excursion.

Disappointing experience - If you have little to no experience with jet skiing, this is definitely not the place to start. The guide was completely apathetic to the needs of his clients. All he would say was “you have to go fast” and “if you can’t keep up, I’ll have to take you back”. I ended up catapulting into the ocean and asking to go back after about 15 minutes. I have been snowmobiling, kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, bicycling and lots of other activities, and I was so excited about jet skiing. This was quite a disappointment.

Terrible Jet Ski Guide and Tour - The Bad: My partner and I did the jet ski tour from the Westin at Frenchman's Reef with Kemio and had an awful time. This young man is knowledgeable with jet skis and ocean safety, but is not a people person and should not be working with tourists. He is not friendly, approachable, or engaging. In fact, he was all business and at times came off as threatening, stating if we could not swim 40 feet to the jet skis we wouldn't be able to go or if he saw us "nose diving," he'd bring us back. Yes, this is important information, but my goodness, why verbalize it in such a threatening way? I guess we looked like were going to make trouble for him so he felt the need to nip our rule-breaking in the bud? Bizarre.
Anyway, he did not introduce himself or ask our names, and at no point during the tour did he offer to take photos. Isn't that Tour Guide 101? There were two idling opportunities he could've stepped up his guide game but instead he chose to be on his phone. Halfway through the tour he got angry with me, standing on his jet ski pointing and yelling and carrying on; I could not hear him over the jet ski motor since he was far away, but I can assume he was upset that I was lagging behind him and my partner.
He cut our tour short by 15 minutes because the rough seas prevented us from going to the last spot. Why not spend those 15 minutes in a calmer area or an area we could take photos? Because he didn't want to be there and wanted to end the tour early. When we prepared to dock the jet skis, he became visibly annoyed because we couldn't hear his commands to idle at a particular red buoy — there are two and it's impossible to hear him from so far away or see his waving arms with the sun behind him. I laughed when he asked for a tip.
The entire experience was awful and this is likely not an isolated incident, so if you book during the week, you stand a good chance of experiencing the same unpleasant tour.
The Good: Charisma (I'm probably misspelling that!), the assistant manager, is wonderful — wish she could've been our guide! She helped us with a payment change, was quick to respond to my tour feedback, and offered acceptable resolution.
Tip: If you're staying at the Westin, you can charge this excursion to your room.
