All About Jet Ski Rentals Hilton Head Island

By Anita Ortega


A vacation in South Carolina would not be complete unless you spend part of it in the city of Hilton Head. This coastal city offers a tantalizing array of sights and activities to vacationers and day tourists from all over the country. The historic atmosphere and friendly welcoming population make it one of the best places in America to spend summer days. An important part of your stay may be participating in the jet ski rentals Hilton Head Island offers.

You can choose the single rider jet skis or a wave runner that seats two adults. Both vehicles travel at very high speed reaching over fifty miles per hour but the single seated skis are more versatile and can safely venture further from the shore line. Either ride can serve as an exciting adventure for long days in sun and water.

Although it is more family friendly, the wave runner has no braking system so it is important that renters learn the proper way to operate it before launching out on their own. Usually the owner of the shop will provide training for you and your family at no extra charge. A valuable safety feature for this vehicle is a feature that shuts off the motor if the driver falls off while it is in motion.

There are rigid state laws and company rules that must be followed when renting these vehicles. The renter must present valid identification, preferably a drivers license, and they must be at least eighteen years old. All riders must wear a life jacket at all times when aboard the vehicle. Children under eight years old are not allowed to ride them even as passengers. Most shop owners will supply the life jackets that are included with the cost for the vehicle.

There are guided tours available that will take you into the swampy coastal areas. Here you will see many different kinds of native wild life and plants. The marine animals may include the bottle nosed dolphins that live in the area. These dolphins have a unique method of fishing that is very rare. They are one of the few species that run the fish up on the shore and then temporarily beach themselves while catching the fish.

You will also find several different types of egrets, bald eagles and osprey that can be viewed and photographed. All of this is accomplished on the skis or wave runners because they have a smaller impact on the ecology than boats have. They are called eco-tours when you are booking them.

When you rent the equipment the retailer will be happy to show you the proper use of it. He will show you what to do if you have trouble while on the water, how to stop and start, mount and dismount. This serves to help keep the customer safe as well as protect the equipment that is being rented to you. To keep from being disappointed you should always make reservations for the equipment you want to use.

Planning your vacation can be a major project for most people. When researching potential locations to visit Hilton Head, South Carolina deserves a second look if what you seek is warm temperatures, loads of sunshine and multiple exciting activities on the water that will keep the entire family happy for the entire trip.
