Question 1

Can we take the jet ski anywhere we want in Ocean City?

Accepted Answer

Maryland requires that any rental jet ski stay within visible sight of our highly trained guides. They are there for your safety. Luckily enough, our guides have great eyesight, and we have the largest riding area in Maryland with no other rental companies in sight! This means that each trip has a personal lifeguard (or two or three) for the duration of your adventure, and you won’t have to worry about any other rental companies sharing the same space. If you are renting the jet skis at our Paradise Watersports Marina, you may be lucky enough to see dolphins near our riding area as many of our customers have witnessed every season.

Question 2

Are the prices of your jet ski rentals at Paradise Watersports per person?

Accepted Answer

No! The prices listed are per watercraft, not per person, so they include the jet ski driver and up to two additional people, depending on their size and the total combined weight.

Question 3

What is the minimum age to rent a jet ski in Ocean City, Maryland?

Accepted Answer

You must be 16 years of age to rent a jet ski in Ocean City, BUT you must have a parent or guardian sign for you if you are under the age of 18. All operators must present a valid photo ID with birthdate and must complete a Boater Safety course (see next FAQ). If you do not have a driver’s license or other photo ID, we suggest you obtain a state ID card from your local Department of Motor Vehicles prior to your vacation. (If you left your ID at home, that’s not a problem! We have a fax machine so that a friend or loved one can fax a copy of your ID directly to our office to confirm your age and identity and get you out on the water!)

Question 4

Do we need a license in order to drive the jet ski?

Accepted Answer

A temporary boater’s license is provided to customers.

Question 5

Where do I go to take the Boater Safety course?

Accepted Answer

The Boater Safety course can be completed at our Paradise Watersports Marina, located on the docks of Hooper’s Crab House. It takes around 15-30 minutes to complete the course, and it is open book with the answers right in front of you, so there are no excuses to get any wrong! This course is temporary and only works while under the supervision of our guides for the hour that you reserved. If you decide you would like to come back another time and rent from us again, unfortunately state law requires us to re-administer the test (but that’s okay, by then you should be a jet ski guru!). We ask that if you are renting a jet ski from us to please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your reservation time to get squared away and complete proper testing.

Question 6

Is there a minimum age to ride on the jet ski?

Accepted Answer

Passengers must be 5 years of age or older.

Question 7

How do we get into and down from the air?

Accepted Answer

Our brand-new, custom-built parasail boats will allow a smooth and easy take-off and landing. Each parasailer, or tandem group of parasailers, will slowly lift off of the back of the boat with ease. You will enjoy the ride in a comfortable swing-like harness in a seated position. Each parasailer will softly land on the back of the boat in that same sitting position. A dip in the water is optional, and recommended, but you will always take off from and land on the boat.

Question 8

Do we have to be able to swim?

Accepted Answer

No. All take-offs and landings are done from the back of the boat, so if you don’t want to get wet, you won’t have to! In the unlikely event of a mechanical malfunction, all participants are required to wear lifejackets while parasailing and you’ll be in the safe hands of our highly trained crew. Anyone can fly—including the young, the old, and someone with special needs. We are happy to safely accommodate everyone.

Question 9

For parasailing, is there an age requirement? Weight requirement?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all flyers must be 5 years of age or older. although participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their liability waiver prior to boarding the vessel. The minimum weight required to parasail is roughly 100 pounds. If the flyer is less than 100 pounds, they will simply fly tandem with another parasailer, with their combined weight not to exceed roughly 425 pounds. Weight requirements may change on any given day due to the wind conditions. Again, safety is always our number one priority.

If you have any questions or concerns about the weight of your group, just give us a call so we can work something out for you. (The captain may change these safety restrictions due to weather conditions.)
