5.00Our guide was awesome. We let him know we had experience on jet skis so he let it rip. Took us to some amazing spots, and we saw plenty of turtles!
Disappointed

1.00There’s another jet ski place on emerald beach. Where the jet skis aren’t sinking! I felt so uncomfortable the tour guide thought I was just playing till the new hire took me back to the docks and seen that the back on the jet ski was lower then the others.
Awesome experience!

5.00First, we had an amazing time on this tour. It started out a little concerning because we found out upon arriving that we booked it for the following day, and we were only there for one day on a cruise stop. Thankfully and appreciatively, the staff honored our booking and took us out that day as a very small group. Sonny was our guide and he took us around the beautiful Charlotte Amalie bay area and islands. The weather was a bit fickle, with passing rain showers. If the rain was too much, our guide had us stop for a bit to wait it out, allowing us to still enjoy a great experience. We made several brief stops where Sonny explained nearby sights and landmarks, giving us some local knowledge. We even saw some green sea turtles poking their heads out of the water! On the way back to Frenchman's Reef, we got to ride right beside our docked cruise ship (and others), getting an up-close look from the water. This tour is best for those who are in decent physical shape, with the ability to climb down a ladder into the water and swim (with a life vest) to your jet ski which is about 50 feet from the dock. You also need to be able to climb up onto the jet ski from the water and climb up to the dock when you return. Overall, we were so pleased with the friendly, accommodating staff and Sonny's expertise as our guide. It was worth every penny and one of the memorable highlights of our vacation!

Rude, disrespectful, unprofessional

1.00Extremely rude service from their management and anyone you try to contact. I was given incorrect information about the JetSki experience at the Westin Bell Services desk, and these people are blaming ME for not knowing better. They expected ME as a CUSTOMER to know that they are a third party apparently not affiliated with the Westin (genuinely tell me why the f I would be responsible for knowing your corporate chain or management???) and were so rude to us. I get it, you guys send out confirmation emails, but it is not that crazy of a notion that guests paying for a gd expensive resort were expecting to get all the information about the booking before we had to commit to pay for it. And I get that it’s not Dockside’s fault that I didn’t have that information, it’s on the Westin, but then you have absolutely no right trying to school me on the phone and making it seem like my family is responsible for this. What did we do? Trust your hospitality??? God forbid we trust the hospitality industry on an island that RUNS on tourism. Extremely disappointing behavior, genuinely so rude and unprofessional. Westin Bell Services is charging us for this jet ski tour on our room, not even through dockside. They NEVER mentioned it was a TOUR and I think I have every right to be pissed that I’m being held responsible for that.
Highly recommend to anyone
