Frequently Asked Questions for Alabama Extreme Watersports: Thrilling WaveRunner Experience

Question 1

Can my child ride on the jet ski with me?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to children riding on the jet skis, it’s completely up to the parent or guardian. We do carry infant and child life jackets. We don’t recommend any children under 3 to ride on the jet skis. Anyone not operating the jet ski must ride behind the driver.

Question 2

What is the security deposit for renting?

Accepted Answer

We require either $500 in cash or a credit card on file to hold.

Question 3

Are we guaranteed to see dolphins on the tour?

We have about a 95% success rate of seeing dolphins on the trip. There are hundreds of dolphins living right in the nearby bays. It’s best to tour when it’s calm for the best visibility, which is usually morning or early evening.

What happens if I damage one of the jet skis?

Accepted Answer

If a jet ski is damaged, there is likely to be a damage fee assessed. When the customer signs the rental paperwork prior to departure, they must agree to the damage price amounts. Upon inspection, the attendant will give the damage which can be paid via credit card or cash. If the customer refuses to pay, we will call local law enforcement and report it. If the customer leaves without taking care of the fees due for damages, their card will be charged.

Sorry, but we do not allow wave jumping or any erratic play on the waverunners.

Customer may make changes to the reservation without any fees as long as it’s outside the 24 hour cancellation period. We do not rent to anyone without a physical copy of a US drivers license or under the age of 19! Refunds will not be given for anyone who fails to comply with this restriction.
