Good jet ski dolphin trips sail early and fill up weeks ahead. Below: the 11 to book first, what each includes and how they differ.
Start at Goodland Boat Park near Marco Island for a two-hour guided jet ski trip through the 10,000 Islands. Search for dolphins and marine life, pass through mangrove channels, and ride with one companion. Water, windbreakers, and Coast Guard approved life jackets are provided.
“Best guides !!! So fun. We toured and saw Dolphins. Fun anniversary trip weekend. Would definitely visit them again.”
Ride a new Sea-Doo from Marina Santa Eulalia with an instructor leading a small group along Ibiza’s eastern coast. Choose 30 minutes, one hour, or two hours with dolphin searching. No license is needed, and the club provides lockers, showers, Wi-Fi, a pool, and beach-club access.

Ride one jet ski with up to two people across St. Andrews Bay, search for dolphins and other wildlife, then stop at Shell Island for beach time. Guides such as Micah, Carson, and Ross are praised for patient instruction, especially with first-time riders. Expect open-water riding and possible choppy waves.
“The guide Ross was very chill and nice! Definitely one of the best dudes in Florida to do a tour with! He put us on some dolphins and the view was amazing!”
You’ll pilot a two-seat Yamaha jet ski from Fort Walton Beach toward Crab Island, the Destin Harbor, and dolphin areas near the bridge and jetties. Guides such as Corey, Nick, Chris, and Alejandro lead the route, with safety gear, fuel, parking, and instruction included. Dolphin sightings are possible, not promised.
“Turning over twice, fighting the huge waves, never saw a dolphin was most memorable. I would never ride doubles again. Kinda fun riding on the ocean but extremely difficult to maneuver with 2 people”
Meet VPBR, Inc. for a one-hour guided jet ski ride off Clearwater. You’ll receive safety instruction, a life jacket, and a tour of the coast, with a chance to spot dolphins. Lia and Leah are names associated with the local team. One ticket covers one ski and up to three people.

Captain a two-seat jet ski from Destiny Water Adventures through Destin Harbor, Crab Island, and Santa Rosa Sound. A guide leads your small group toward resident bottlenose dolphins, with time for photos and water play. David and Carlos have earned special praise for calm, friendly instruction.
“David our guide was down to earth and a great person and he helped me relax and taught me what to do and to be not so nervous. He asked if I wanted my daughter to ride with him and I said yes. For me that made the experience better for my daughter and it was her birthday so I really wanted her to have a great experience. I was nervous at first but about ten minutes I started to relax and get use to the jet ski (our first time). After that I was good to go. The tour and things we learned was awesome and I appreciate the…”
You’ll ride a jet ski from 750 Palm Point Drive with an English-speaking guide, watching for dolphins, coastal wildlife, and scenic water views. Billy and Brad have guided recent tours. Choose a solo ride or share with a friend, with a safety briefing before the two-hour outing.

Ride a 2024 Sea-Doo with your own guide through Fort Pierce’s Indian River waters. This 75-minute private tour includes instruction, fuel, life vest, and photos, with English or Spanish guidance and a chance to see Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, including young calves.
“Everything promised was kept, we had a friendly guide and the tour itself was exciting and great”
You’ll pilot a two-passenger jet ski from Gilligan’s Watersports with a local guide such as Mason or Jimmy. The two-hour route follows Choctawhatchee Bay toward the Gulf, with chances to see wild dolphins, sharks, stingrays, Crab Island, white sand beaches, and Destin’s clear waters.
“Mason asked us what we wanted to see and do. Our primary aim to jet ski close to dolphins. We accomplished that along with seeing sharks, stingrays, and spending time at crab island”
You and one companion ride a jet ski with a guide from Salty’s Water Sports & Boat Rental through Fort Pierce’s Indian River Lagoon. The private 1-hour-15-minute tour looks for dolphin pods near a major Atlantic nursery, with morning trips offering the best reported conditions.
“Took a few friends with me to try and spot some dolphins in the intercoastal of Fort Pierce. This tour exceeded all of our expectations, we saw many pods of dolphins, which our guide tells us are very common around this area in the fall to winter months. We chose a morning slot as it was recommended by their staff, and I highly advise anyone reading this review to take that recommendation. Not only are the dolphins more visible at this hour, the water way is quiet and flat. Absolutely a great vacation choice!!”
Pick a hull, pick the water you want to be in, or decide whether you want them wild.
