Myrtle Beach Watersports has served the Grand Strand for more than 30 years, opening its first location in 1996 with just three jet skis. Today, the locally owned, family-run business (led by Steve and Shawn, with their kids and parents involved in day-to-day operations) operates more than 50 jet skis, tritoon boats, two 75-foot dolphin cruise boats, and a pirate cruise boat across three locations: Myrtle Beach (Grande Dunes, behind Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse), North Myrtle Beach (Little River), and a dedicated Beach Location on South Ocean Blvd.
Jet ski rentals are the business’s most popular activity, with the Myrtle Beach location offering the largest riding area of any rental company anywhere (20 miles) and no wake zones to slow riders down. One-hour rentals run from $99 (8am) up to $199 (rest of day), with 30-minute ocean rides available at the Beach Location. Jet Ski Dolphin Watch Tours depart from North Myrtle Beach starting at $125, offering private or semi-private, personalized experiences (2-hour private tours guarantee a dolphin sighting or a voucher for a dolphin cruise boat ride). Pontoon and tritoon rentals (all new boats, including a 150 HP model with a slide) explore the Intracoastal Waterway, private islands, and scenic restaurants around North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Sunset Beach, and Ocean Isle, NC. Banana boat rides round out the family-friendly lineup at the Beach Location.
The business is proud to be part of BRP Experiences, connecting guests to more than 225 destinations worldwide across Ski-Doo, Lynx, Sea-Doo, and Can-Am brands. Myrtle Beach Watersports also promotes sister attractions Blackbeard’s Pirate Cruise, Sea Screamer Dolphin Cruise, and Sea Thunder Dolphin Cruise (the latter guaranteeing dolphin sightings or the next ride free).
With more than 1,500 five-star reviews (424 on this listing alone), guests consistently praise individual guides by name — Jerry, Eddie, Elisha, Ryan, Zach, Shawn, Trina, Pete, and more — for patience, professionalism, and making first-time jet skiing and dolphin-watching genuinely memorable.
For visitors to the Grand Strand looking for jet skis, pontoon rentals, dolphin tours, or banana boat rides, Myrtle Beach Watersports offers a 30-year-established, highly reviewed operation across three convenient locations.
