More Time to Ride and Relax

Rent a jet ski for 90 minutes in Wrightsville Beach and explore at your own pace. $170 per jetski per hour

You step onto the dock in Wrightsville Beach, and within minutes you are seated on your jet ski, listening to the engine hum as you prepare to push off. Riptide Jetski's LLC gives you the controls, explains the boundaries, and sends you out into waterways where you can see coastal homes, passing boats, and stretches of open water that feel quieter than the beach itself. The 90-minute rental gives you time to move past the initial learning curve and actually enjoy the ride.

This rental includes safety orientation, a life jacket, and access to nearby sections of the Intracoastal Waterway where traffic stays light and conditions remain manageable. Wrightsville Beach offers smooth water most mornings and visibility that extends across docks, marshland, and residential areas lining the coast. The extra 30 minutes compared to the one-hour option means you can cruise without constantly checking the time or rushing back to the launch point.

If you want more flexibility than a quick ride but do not need a full afternoon, contact Riptide Jetski's LLC to confirm your 90-minute reservation in Wrightsville Beach.

How the extra time changes your ride

Your rental begins with a walkthrough at the dock in Wrightsville Beach where you learn throttle control, turning technique, and how to navigate around other watercraft. Riptide Jetski's LLC provides all required safety gear and outlines the riding area so you know where you can go and where traffic tends to pick up. Once you leave the dock, you control your route and speed while staying aware of changing conditions and other riders.

After 90 minutes, you will have covered more distance than a one-hour rental allows and had time to stop, drift, and take in the scenery without feeling rushed. The jet ski handles wakes and turns with immediate feedback, and the open sections of the waterway let you test higher speeds when conditions permit.

The rental does not include extended time beyond the 90-minute window or fuel surcharges, but it does cover orientation and safety equipment. If you return early, your reserved time still counts as used, so plan to stay out for the full session once you launch.

Common questions couples and small groups ask

People booking the 90-minute rental in Wrightsville Beach often want to know if it gives them enough time to explore beyond the immediate area, whether they can stop along the way, and what they should expect from the waterway conditions.

How much farther can I go compared to the one-hour rental?
The extra 30 minutes lets you explore deeper into the Intracoastal Waterway and reach areas that feel more secluded. You can ride farther without worrying about turnaround time.
Can I stop and drift during the rental?
You can stop whenever you want to rest, take photos, or just float. The 90 minutes gives you flexibility to break up the ride without cutting into your time on the water.
What are the water conditions like in Wrightsville Beach?
Conditions vary by time of day and weather, but the Intracoastal Waterway typically stays calm with light chop from passing boats. Mornings tend to offer the smoothest rides.
Is this rental good for someone who has ridden before?
Yes. The 90 minutes works well for riders who already understand the basics and want time to cruise, explore, and enjoy the water without constant orientation or time pressure.
What happens if I see other boats while I am riding?
You share the waterway with recreational boats, so you need to stay aware of traffic and follow navigation rules. Riptide Jetski's LLC explains right-of-way guidelines during your orientation.

If you want more time to ride and explore without committing to a half-day rental, the 90-minute option in Wrightsville Beach gives you the balance most riders look for. Reach out to Riptide Jetski's LLC to reserve your slot and confirm availability.
