Finding Jet Ski Rentals Hilton Head Island

By Anita Ortega


Vacationing in South Carolina can be an exciting adventure for any family. This is especially true if you include a visit to the city of Hilton Head located on the coast. This beautiful city teems with activities for every member of the family and is steeped in history and scenic wild areas. One very popular activity is participating in the jet ski rentals Hilton Head Island provides.

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.

Although it is more family friendly, the wave runner has no braking system so it is important that renters learn the proper way to operate it before launching out on their own. Usually the owner of the shop will provide training for you and your family at no extra charge. A valuable safety feature for this vehicle is a feature that shuts off the motor if the driver falls off while it is in motion.

You cannot rent these vehicles if you are under eighteen years of age. You must also provide either a drivers license or picture identification card before renting it. Most shops will not allow children under eight years old to board the wave runners. State laws mandate most of the rules enforced by shops that rent them.

You can participate in guided tours of the coast line and marshes. These tours can last for half or full days and will lead you to areas frequented by native wildlife such as bottle nosed dolphins and logger head turtles. The dolphins in this area are unique in the way they feed. The actually beach themselves after chasing the prey fish up to the shore and slide back into the water after feeding.

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.

The company that rents the equipment will be happy to show you the best handling features of the water craft you select. The more information you have regarding proper operation the more enjoyable your excursion will be. This also helps to ensure that his machine will be returned to him in working condition at the end of the day. Making reservations in advance is always a good idea.

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.
