Very nice, good rentals. Got beach chairs and floating noodles! We scheduled our Jet Ski rentals from the Marina which was the BEST! Definitely do the excursion vs the freestyle jet skis! Eli was amazing, and he's hot so that's a plus!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience at Makin Waves at Shephard's in Clearwater Beach! The jet skis are beautiful and in mint condition, which made the ride even more enjoyable. There is a huge area of open water to ride, so you never feel cramped. The staff Eli, Luke, and Jon were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure everyone felt comfortable before heading out. If you're looking to rent jet skis in Clearwater Beach, I highly recommend Makin Waves at Shephard's. We'll definitely be back!

We did a one hour jet ski rental with Josh as our guide and had an absolute blast. For some of us, it was the first time on a jet ski and for others it had been a while. But either way, we all felt and looked like we had been riding them every summer. Thanks to Josh and the entire crew for one hour of adventure and fun for our family and friends.

Eli, Josh and Luke were amazing. The JetSkis they have are new and very high quality. The area you have to run them in lets you have plenty of fun. Really enjoyed this experience and will be back again. Thanks Guys.

Best jet ski rental experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve rented more than a few over the years. The staff was accommodating and gave us real freedom while out on the skis, which I really appreciated. Their location is inside the Shepherd’s Beach Resort, and you do not need to be a hotel guest to rent the skis, which makes it very convenient. I took part in the freestyle time, and they escorted us out to safer waters away from the busy boat traffic, then let us ride at our own pace in a dedicated area. I’ve also managed to see dolphins up close while riding, which made the experience even better. I’ve seen some negative reviews about jet ski outfits in Clearwater, but nothing I read matches the experience I had here. Next time I’m in Clearwater, I’ll definitely be back!
