Cortez Watersports has offered fun on the water for any family and any budget since 1995, growing from 4 jet skis and one boat into a full fleet, based at the foot of the Cortez Bridge near Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, Bradenton, Sarasota, and the greater Tampa Bay area. Known locally as the family fun center, the business specializes in putting guests in the best spots to see dolphins and other local wildlife.
Services include Jetski Rentals, Pontoon Boat Rentals, Fishing Skiff Rentals, Deck Boats, Dolphin Encounters, Champagne Cruises, Sunset Cruises, Self-Guided Eco-Tours, Weddings, and Memorials at Sea — a genuinely wide range of on-the-water experiences under one roof. A Boat Club membership option is also available.
Guest reviews are consistently glowing, with reviewers describing an amazing, well-run, and memorable day, praising the affordable pricing and excellent customer service, and noting that everything — including fuel — was included in the rental, with plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 kids on the pontoon boats.
Open daily 9am-7pm, for families near Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, Sarasota, or Tampa Bay looking for a well-established, more than 30-year jetski or boat rental, dolphin encounter, or eco-tour, Cortez Watersports offers a highly reviewed, genuinely long-standing operation.
