A jet ski rental in Key West puts miles of clear, shallow flats, hidden sandbars, and wide-open ocean within easy reach, whether you’re chasing an adrenaline rush or a slow, sun-soaked cruise. It’s one of the most exciting ways to see the island, and there are plenty of great places to hop on and go.

Make it easy on yourself by staying close to the water with 1800 Atlantic. Our oceanfront Key West condo rentals put you steps from the shoreline with room to spread out after a day of adventure, while our Old Town Key West vacation rentals keep you close to the marinas and the heart of the island.

Why Explore Key West in a Jet Ski Rental?

The signature ride is the roughly 28-mile loop around the entire island, crossing from the rougher Atlantic side to the calm, glassy flats of the Gulf. A Key West jet ski rental is the ideal way to do it, because its shallow draft slips into the skinny backcountry water that larger boats have to avoid. Here is what makes the ride so special:

• Landmarks From The Water: Cruise past the Southernmost Point marker, Fort Zachary Taylor, the tall ships in the historic seaport, Naval Air Station Key West on Boca Chica, and small offshore islands like Wisteria Island and Sunset Key.
• Protected Backcountry: Explore a maze of natural wonders inside the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
• A Sandbar Swim Stop: Most guided routes pause at a shallow bar like Boca Chica Sandbar, where you can hop off and float in bathwater-warm shallows.

Cruise Back to Your Comfortable Florida Keys Condo Rental

After a salty, sun-drenched day on the waves, there’s nothing better than heading home to space and comfort. 1800 Atlantic offers oceanfront Key West condo rentals with private balconies, full kitchens, and generous living areas, plus resort-style amenities like an Olympic-sized heated pool, Jacuzzi, saunas, lighted tennis courts, and 400 feet of private Atlantic Ocean frontage to rinse off the day.
