Jet Skiing from Robbie's of Islamorada

We had not pre-planned any activities, charters, or excursions for the Thursday of our week in the Florida Keys to allow for other things to potentially be rescheduled to that day if necessary. However, Thursday morning's forecasted and realized windy conditions were enough to preclude rescheduling any snorkeling activities to that day. Because we were staying at a house we rented in Islamorada, we arranged to return to Robbie's of Islamorada to go jet skiing.

We had seen advertisements for jet skis at Robbie's of Islamorada on prior visits (such as when we kayaked through the mangroves).

We probably should have purchased the jet ski package first because it (at least at the time) included a free half-day of kayak or paddleboard rentals (we had previously paid for the kayaking), but we didn't know what our schedule was going to allow.

Our group of six used three jet skis (two riders on each ski) and we followed the guide out into the bay to begin the two hour jet ski adventure.

We slowed down when we got near and went through the mangroves.

We went much faster when we were out in the open bay.

There is supposed to be 30 minutes of snorkeling as part of the two-hour jet ski adventure, but the guide saw the bad weather coming in fast, so we skipped the snorkeling and arrived back at Robbie's marina just before the storm hit us.

We enjoyed visiting Robbie's of Islamorada again and visiting the marina and jet skiing.
