What is this tour like?

Thirty minutes on a Sea-Doo in a riding area of about 2,000 by 1,000 metres off San Francisco Beach, on Cozumel's west coast. Jet Ski Cozumel charges $75 per jet ski, not per rider, with a safety briefing first and a free day pass to San Francisco Beach Club with the booking. You reserve online with a $20 deposit and pay the rest on arrival.

The operator has its check-in tent on the sand in front of San Francisco Beach Club, a few steps from Chula's, Carlos n' Charlie's and Paradise Beach, and says most of its customers come off the cruise ships. Its FAQ describes the fleet as 2020 Sea-Doo GTI with 155 hp and says no licence is needed. The rental stays inside the riding area in front of the beach; for going further along the coast the operator sells a separate 90-minute guided jet ski tour with snorkelling and a meal, at $199 per jet ski. The one-hour rental is $135 per jet ski. After the ride you keep the beach club for the day — pool, lockers, showers and changing rooms; snorkel gear, kayaks and paddleboards are not part of the rental.

What are the highlights?

  • Priced per jet ski, not per rider: $75 for 30 minutes, $135 for an hour
  • A riding area of about 2,000 by 1,000 metres right in front of the beach
  • No licence needed; a safety briefing comes with every rental
  • A free day at San Francisco Beach Club: pool, lockers, showers, changing rooms and free parking
  • Full refund of the deposit if you cancel before your booked time or your ship does not dock

FAQ

Is the price per person or per jet ski?
Per jet ski: the operator lists $75 per ski for 30 minutes and $135 per ski for 60 minutes. Two people on one jet ski for half an hour pay $75 together.
How much for a family on two jet skis?
Two jet skis for 30 minutes are 2 × $75 = $150; for an hour, 2 × $135 = $270. Online you pay only the deposit — $20 per 30-minute ski — and the rest on arrival.
How old do you have to be?
The operator's FAQ says the person renting must be 18 and the driver at least 16; its restrictions box gives 10 as the minimum age to take part.
Is there a weight limit?
The operator's page gives two figures: 300 lb (136 kg) per person in the restrictions box, and 350 lb (159 kg) for everyone on the jet ski together in its FAQ. If you are close to either, ask when you book.
Do I need a licence or experience?
No licence is required, and every rental starts with a safety briefing. The operator rates the difficulty as medium and active.
Where can we ride?
Only inside the riding area of about 2,000 by 1,000 metres in front of the rental spot. A guest who rode there describes it as busy with tour boats, so keep a lookout. Going further along the coast is the separate 90-minute guided tour at $199 per jet ski.
Can we swap drivers during the ride?
The operator's page says riders switch freely and kids ride along. One recent guest reports that staff refused to let her children take turns, so confirm it at check-in.
What if I cancel or my ship does not dock?
You can cancel any time before your reservation starts, for any reason, and the deposit is refunded in full — by the form on the site or by email. If your ship does not dock, the refund is automatic and in money, not credit.
How do I get there from the cruise pier?
By taxi, which wait outside the port. The operator gives about 12 minutes from the International Pier, 14 from Puerta Maya and 16 from Punta Langosta to its tent in front of San Francisco Beach Club, km 14.5.

“Booked a 30- minute jet ski rental and parasailing in cozumel Mexico for my family. We did them both at he same time. My daughter loves their parasailing tour. Great prices and friendly staff. I recommend them for sure!”

“I booked parasailing a few months before my cruise. The reservation was easy, required a small deposit, and offered cancellation/refund up until the last minute. The day I got to Cozumel I was not feeling well. I emailed them at approximately 1:00pm to cancel my 3:00pm reservation. I received confirmation around 3:15pm that they canceled and refunded my deposit. I then realized the card I had used to make the reservation had been compromised and replaced. I replied to let them know this and I would understand if they couldn’t process the refund. I received a reply thank me for my understanding and explain that many banks due process returns despite a card being cancelled. Fortunately the refund showed in my account later that night. Email communication was great. Any issue of time delays were related to my lack of cell/wifi while in Cozumel. They honored their cancellation policy and their communication was clear and helpful.”

“I had a very disappointing experience renting jet skis at San Francisco Beach in Cozumel. We paid $85 for a 30-minute ride, expecting a fun family activity, but it quickly turned into a frustrating experience. One of the main reasons we rented the jet ski was so our children could each have a chance to ride. Unfortunately, the staff refused to let us switch riders during the session, without offering any flexibility or alternative. The employees were unfriendly, unaccommodating, and showed no interest in helping. It would have been much more professional if they had clearly explained this policy before taking our payment instead of surprising us afterward. For the amount we paid, the level of customer service was far below expectations. What should have been a memorable family activity ended up being disappointing and stressful. I cannot recommend this rental company, especially for families looking for fair treatment and good customer service.”

“I would not recommend this place. I rarely leave reviews, but this was my worst experience. Before we went out on the jet skis, we got a safety briefing, but the person giving it barely spoke English and what we understood was not helpful. The main points were to stay inside the piers and watch for boats. Riding the jet skis was fun, but the area is crowded with tour boats, so we had to keep dodging them. When it was time to return, the safety guide just waved us in and left. My kids, who are both over 18, were behind me. As we headed back, a boat came toward my son and daughter. My son turned to avoid it and ended up colliding with my daughter. The seat plastic was damaged, and there was some minor fiberglass damage to the foot well. When we got back to shore, the workers checked out the damage. They were speaking Spanish and laughing. My daughter’s boyfriend understands Spanish, and he heard them say the damage looked like it would cost less than $1000. Just so you know, they don’t insure their equipment. I also looked at the damage myself, and since I know my way around machines, I could tell it wasn’t worth $1000. Still, my kid caused it, so I was willing to pay. The worker called the 'Owner,' who said the damage was $2000. This was for an early-2000s Yamaha jet ski that only sells for about $ 2,000. The owner never showed up, and honestly, it seemed like they were hoping someone would damage a jet ski so they could overcharge them. No one could explain why the price suddenly doubled, except that the 'Owner' said so. I have rented jet skis in many places and countries. I recommend avoiding this place and sticking to the official cruise excursions. I took photos, but since we are cruising, they won’t upload.”
