Destin's PARADISE ISLANDS JET SKI ADVENTURE

Yes you can, we recommend booking for at least 2 hours so you have a chance to get there and enjoy it before returning.

If you’re booking for 1 hour or less we recommend staying in the area near our docks and exploring the Locals’ Secret Paradise. These secluded islands are great for exploring and opening up the throttle, you can try to find the Mermaid Swing out there!

Jet Ski operators must be at least 18 years old

Riders on the back of the Jet Ski must be at least 8 years old

Drivers born ON or AFTER Jan 1st, 1988 MUST have a Boater Safety Certificate.

You may obtain a 90 day temporary certificate HERE. We highly recommend taking the test before coming so you don’t miss your adventure. The test is relatively easy and you can take it until you pass!

In order to operate a motorboat, including jet skis, of ten (10) horsepower or greater, Florida law requires anyone who was born ON or AFTER Jan. 1, 1988 to successfully complete a NASLBA approved boating safety course and obtain a Boating Safety Certificate.

If you need a Boating Safety Certificate but do not have one, Florida offers a 90 day temporary certificate which can be obtained HERE.

While Florida’s Gulf Coast is teaming with wildlife, we can not guarantee a dolphin sighting. We can suggest multiple areas where dolphins frequent, however dolphins are still wild animals and go where they wish.

Destiny Water Adventures does not operate in unsafe weather conditions, but a light rain shower is not a deterrent. If you would prefer not to go out when it is cloudy or in a light drizzle we recommend adding Booking FLEX to your reservation.

The Captain on duty will assess the weather and will determine if the conditions are safe to operate on the day of your trip.

If a trip is canceled by Destiny Water Adventures for any reason, every effort will be made to reschedule it during your stay. If you are unable to reschedule, you will have the option of receiving a voucher for a future trip or receiving a full refund. Every effort will be made to run tours as advertised. Should Destiny have to amend or alter your trip due to extraneous circumstances, tickets remain non-refundable on trips taken.

We understand that life happens so we have a no hassle 48 hour cancellation policy. If you need to make changes or cancel your trip up to 48 hours before the start, we will make every effort to accommodate any changes or refund you in full for cancelations.

However, within 48 hours of your reservation all sales are considered final, and no-shows will charged in full. 

We will not issue refunds for missed trips due to not having the Boater Safety Certificate.

If you are looking for more flexibility we do offer Booking FLEX as an additional option which would allow you make make changes or cancel for a refund (minus the Booking FLEX fee) up to the minute your trip was scheduled to start, no questions asked.

If you’re interested in a guided tour to Crab Island check out our Crab Island Dolphin Jet Ski Adventure.

This tour will take you to the Locals’ Secret Paradise, a series of secluded islands in the Santa Rosa Sound us locals like to visit to get away from the crowds on the water. Your guide will show you an area most visitors miss out on. Keep your eyes open for the Mermaid Swing!

Operators (drivers) must be proficient in English to understand employee instruction, safety briefings and waterway markers. This requirement is for the safety of everyone on the water including you.
