All About Jet Ski Rentals Hilton Head Island

By Anita Ortega


A vacation in South Carolina would not be complete unless you spend part of it in the city of Hilton Head. This coastal city offers a tantalizing array of sights and activities to vacationers and day tourists from all over the country. The historic atmosphere and friendly welcoming population make it one of the best places in America to spend summer days. An important part of your stay may be participating in the jet ski rentals Hilton Head Island offers.

You can rent these water vehicles in single or double seated styles. The wave runners carry more than one person and are extremely family friendly. Children can ride as passengers with their parents as the drivers. The single passenger vehicles can travel up to fifty five miles per hour and can be used to tour the coastal areas or take the rider outside the bay.

The wave runner carries more than one passenger and is more family friendly. It does not have a braking system so all passengers must wear a life jacket for safety. It does have a kill switch that shuts the machine down if the driver falls off. The shop where you rented it will train you on how to remount if you fall off.

There are rigid state laws and company rules that must be followed when renting these vehicles. The renter must present valid identification, preferably a drivers license, and they must be at least eighteen years old. All riders must wear a life jacket at all times when aboard the vehicle. Children under eight years old are not allowed to ride them even as passengers. Most shop owners will supply the life jackets that are included with the cost for the vehicle.

There are guided tours available that will take you into the swampy coastal areas. Here you will see many different kinds of native wild life and plants. The marine animals may include the bottle nosed dolphins that live in the area. These dolphins have a unique method of fishing that is very rare. They are one of the few species that run the fish up on the shore and then temporarily beach themselves while catching the fish.

You will also find several different types of egrets, bald eagles and osprey that can be viewed and photographed. All of this is accomplished on the skis or wave runners because they have a smaller impact on the ecology than boats have. They are called eco-tours when you are booking them.

When you rent the equipment the retailer will be happy to show you the proper use of it. He will show you what to do if you have trouble while on the water, how to stop and start, mount and dismount. This serves to help keep the customer safe as well as protect the equipment that is being rented to you. To keep from being disappointed you should always make reservations for the equipment you want to use.

You can look forward to a vacation full of sunshine and warm temperatures in South Carolina. This coastal town located on the barrier island is a perfect setting for family time that will be unforgettable for everyone involved.
