Rental Requirements

How old do I need to be to rent a jet ski?+
Renters must be at least 21 years old (21+) with a valid driver's license. Operators must be at least 16: riders aged 16-20 may drive the jet ski as long as the 21+ renter is present on site.
What documents do I need to bring?+
Please bring a valid driver's license (or state ID) and a credit card for the $500 refundable security deposit. All renters must sign a liability waiver at pickup.
Is there a security deposit?+
Yes, we require a $500 refundable security deposit that is held on your credit card at pickup. The deposit is released within 5-7 business days after the rental, assuming no damage or policy violations.

Booking & Pricing

How do I book a jet ski?+
You can book directly on our website using our online reservation system. Select your dates, review pricing, and complete your booking in just a few minutes. You can also call us at 480-637-4848 for phone reservations.
What's included in the rental price?+
Every rental includes the Sea-Doo Spark 3up jet ski, USCG-approved life jackets, safety equipment (lanyard, fire extinguisher), and a 15-minute safety orientation. Fuel is not included: every ski goes out with a full tank and comes back full, so you only pay for the fuel you use.
What rental options do you offer?+
We offer 2-hour rentals for $199, 4-hour rentals for $219, and full-day 8-hour rentals for $349. Every option includes safety equipment and a 15-minute safety briefing. Rentals on major holidays carry a 20% surcharge. See our pricing page for full details.
Is there a holiday surcharge?+
Yes. Rentals on major holidays carry a 20% surcharge, which is shown at booking. The standard 48-hour cancellation window still applies to holiday reservations.
Do you offer multi-day rentals?+
Multi-day rentals are available by request. Call us at 480-637-4848 and we'll put together a quote for your dates.
What is your cancellation policy?+
Cancel at least 48 hours before your rental start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before pickup are non-refundable. If we cancel for unsafe weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule. See our full cancellation policy for details.

Pickup & Return

Where do I pick up the jet ski?+
Pickup is at our Apache Junction location (724 E Scenic St, Apache Junction, AZ 85119). Trailer your jet ski to Saguaro Lake or Canyon Lake; both are short drives away.
Do I need my own trailer?+
Yes, you'll need a vehicle with towing capacity and a trailer hitch to transport the jet ski. If you don't have a trailer, Wave & Ridge offers PWC trailer rentals that you can add to your booking. Visit waveandridge.com/trailers for details.
What if I don't have a truck to tow with?+
No truck? No problem. Rent a U-Haul pickup truck (around $20) and we'll reimburse the cost on 4-hour and 8-hour bookings. Just bring your U-Haul receipt to pickup.
What time are pickup and return?+
Standard pickup is in the morning (typically 7-9am) and return is in the evening (typically 5-7pm). We're flexible with scheduling. Just let us know your preferred times when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Do I need to refuel before returning?+
Yes. Our fuel policy is out full, back full: every jet ski leaves with a full tank and must come back full. You only pay for the fuel you actually use during your ride.

Safety & Operations

Do you provide safety equipment?+
Absolutely. Every rental includes USCG-approved life jackets in various sizes, a safety lanyard (kill switch), and a fire extinguisher. We also provide a safety orientation covering operation, lake rules, and emergency procedures.
What if I've never ridden a jet ski before?+
No problem! The Sea-Doo Spark 3up is one of the most beginner-friendly jet skis on the market. We provide a thorough orientation covering all controls, safety procedures, and riding tips. Most first-timers feel comfortable within minutes. Check out our First-Time Jet Ski Guide for more tips.
What happens if the jet ski breaks down?+
Our jet skis are well-maintained and reliable, but if you experience any issues, call us immediately. We'll troubleshoot over the phone and, if needed, arrange assistance. Mechanical breakdowns due to equipment failure are covered; you won't be charged for downtime.
Is insurance included?+
You're responsible for damage to the jet ski during your rental, which is why we hold a $500 refundable security deposit. If you carry homeowner's, renter's, or boat insurance, check whether it extends to personal watercraft rentals.
