Jet Ski at The Bay
The Jet Ski at The Bay is your only downtown jet ski rental option. As you get to know the island, you will discover that there are two ways in which you can ride a jet ski in Put in Bay; the first is to rent the equipment yourself and enjoy your own excursions, the second, bring your own. Clearly, option 1 is more practical, especially if you only want to have fun on the water for a couple hours or less.
Jet Ski at The Bay is located in downtown Put-in-Bay on the waterfront adjacent to Toledo avenue. Jet skis rent by the half hour and can be reserved online. A coupon for 20 percent off the rental price is available on their website.

To better your experience, Watercraft Rentals offers a unique Jet Ski tour that winds its way around the island and through the Bay itself.
