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.

Rules & Regulations

• There are certain areas where you can use the Jet Ski. These areas are marked by buoys and will be explained to you by our trained staff before you get in the water.
• Speed is not a problem and you can go just as fast you would like.
• You must be 18 years of age to drive a jet ski and it is required that you wear a life jacket.

To better your experience, Watercraft Rentals offers a unique Jet Ski tour that winds its way around the island and through the Bay itself. The tour will take about 45 minutes to arrive where you can enjoy the Boardwalk Restaurant before returning back to the marina on your jet ski. The price for an adult is $190.00 and children ride free. The tour usually lasts 2 1/2 hours. It is recommended that you call and make a reservation at least 2 days in advance.

The Put-in-Bay Parasail is located one block from the Jet Express. We believe parasailing is a great way to see Put in Bay. The parasailing headquarters is conveniently located by the Boardwalk on the docks. Enjoy the windy breeze as you tour the island’s beautiful terrace. By sailing from a 600-foot towline, taking off and landing on boats with flight decks allows you to remain dry. Or on a hot day, you have the option of getting wet in the Lake Erie Island waters if you choose. Parasailing is safe and fun for ages 3 and up, and no experience or athletic ability is necessary.

Rules & Regulations

• Discounts for groups of 5 or more flyers and early birds
• Gift Certificates available
