Our Florida Location

Winter Haven is the Ultimate Water Sports Day Trip from Orlando and Tampa

Are you tired of the theme park crowds in Orlando or looking to swap the saltwater of Tampa for something smoother? Just 45 to 60 minutes away lies Florida’s best-kept secret: the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes.  Winter Haven offers 24 interconnected lakes and a “Water Ski Capital of the World” pedigree that makes it the premier spot for jet ski and boat rentals in Central Florida.

1. Escape the “Tourist Trap” Crowds

Unlike the congested lakes near Disney or the busy coastal waters of Tampa Bay, Winter Haven provides a more relaxed, “homey” atmosphere. You won’t spend your afternoon dodging hundreds of other boats. Instead, you’ll navigate serene canals that connect different lakes, offering a unique “jungle cruise” feel right in your backyard.  Put this on your “things to do near Orlando/Disney” and “things to do near Tampa” list.  Let us do the driving while you relax on one of our Sunset Cruises or blast across the water on a Waverunner and feel the thrill of high speed water excitement!

2. Smoother Rides on Freshwater

For those traveling from Tampa, the Gulf can often be choppy and demanding for beginners. The Chain of Lakes offers glass-calm freshwater, making it the perfect environment for our brand-new 2023 Yamaha VX Cruisers. Experience high speeds with more stability and zero salt spray in your eyes.  Add this adventure to your “Jet ski and Boat rental near Tampa” and “Jet ski and Boat rental near Orlando/Disney” list.

3. Unique “Canal Hopping” Experience

You can’t do this in Orlando! Winter Haven’s lakes are connected by a system of navigable canals. You can start your morning at our Harborside launch point, cruise through a canal to see the LEGOLAND® Florida water ski show from your boat, and then head to a waterfront restaurant for lunch.  Harborside restaurant is our favorite place to eat lakeside!

4. Modern Fleet with Premium Tech

Don’t settle for outdated rentals. Our Winter Haven location features:

• Yamaha VX Cruisers: Equipped with Bluetooth audio so you can play your own soundtrack while you ride.
•  Tritoons: Perfect for large groups from Tampa or Orlando, featuring 250HP engines and luxury lounge seating.
