Experience Miami’s coastline from a stylish jetcar, enjoying luxury sights, music, and photo opportunities in a family-friendly, fun adventure.
Our review focuses on a 1-hour Jetcar rental experience in Miami, offered by JetCar Miami LLC. While we haven’t personally taken this ride, the concept itself promises an exciting blend of motorized fun and sightseeing along Miami’s glamourous coast. If you’re looking for a way to see Miami from the water in a unique, energetic way, this might just be your ticket.
What immediately draws us in are the chance to drive the first four-seater jetcar in the USA and the opportunity to enjoy music and photo moments while gliding past Miami’s luxury homes and vibrant restaurant scene. One potential consideration is that the experience is relatively short—just 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what you choose—and the price for a group of up to 3 is quite reasonable at $50. This makes it appealing for families, couples, or small groups wanting a quick yet memorable adventure.
This experience is especially well-suited for those who love water-based activities with a splash of luxury, enjoy music on the go, and aren’t shy about a little splash of adrenaline. If you’re after a relaxed day, this might be more energetic than some prefer, but for those craving fun and a taste of Miami’s glamour, it hits the mark.
When you arrive at the marina, the process is straightforward: check in with your guide, get fitted with safety gear—mainly life jackets—and then hop into your sleek jetcar. This isn’t just any watercraft; it’s a sporty vessel designed to make the thrill of a jet ski feel more stylish and social, accommodating up to 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children under 10.
Once you’re seated and ready, you’ll start the engine and set sail, feeling the breeze and hearing the hum of the jetcar. The design resembles a sportscar but glides across water, offering a fun novelty that’s as much about the experience as the scenery. The real highlight is the ability to connect your favorite music via Bluetooth, transforming your ride into a mobile party on the water—perfect for adding a personal soundtrack to your adventure.
As you cruise along, you’ll pass luxurious Miami mansions, some reportedly worth millions, with the reviews highlighting the “great views of the wealthy seaside estates”. The guide’s local knowledge helps point out interesting sights, making the ride both fun and informative. You’ll also sail past trendy restaurants and clubs, giving you a glimpse of Miami’s vibrant coastal life.
One of the most praised aspects is a stop at a lovely beach island. Here, you’re free to snap photos of Miami’s skyline, take in the fresh sea air, or just relax in the sun. The ability to take amazing photos and videos adds a personalized touch to your experience, making it more than just a ride.
The tour concludes at the same marina where it started, with some reviewers mentioning that the entire process was smooth and well-organized. For families or groups, sharing the jetcar means everyone can enjoy the ride together—a rare feature in watercraft experiences.

Arriving at the marina is simple, and the check-in process is quick. The staff provides necessary safety equipment, including life jackets, and explains how the jetcar works. For those unfamiliar with watercraft, the guide’s instructions are clear, and the American and French-speaking guides help ensure you feel comfortable.
Once underway, the engine roars to life, and you are off exploring Miami’s coastline. The jetcar’s design means you’re seated comfortably, with plenty of room for up to 3 people. The Bluetooth music system adds a lively element—many visitors enjoy playing their favorite tunes, making the ride feel like a floating concert.
From the water, Miami’s opulence becomes evident. The luxury mansions line the coast, some with sprawling pools and private docks, visible from a different perspective than from land. As you sail past these properties, the experience feels exclusive yet accessible. The fancy restaurants and bars along the shoreline add a lively backdrop to your ride.
The highlight for many is the pause at a scenic beach island. Here, you can hop off your jetcar to take photos, soak up the sun, or just enjoy the tranquility. The reviews frequently mention how perfect this stop is for capturing stunning photos of the Miami skyline or relaxing on the sand.
After the allotted time, you return to the marina. The entire experience lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, so you can choose a shorter or longer ride depending on your schedule. The group size is small and private options are available, enhancing the personal feel of the adventure.
At $50 per group, this is quite affordable considering the exclusive views and fun factor. The price covers the jetcar rental, Bluetooth system, and safety equipment. For larger groups or families, the value increases as everyone shares the experience.
If you were born after 1987, you’ll need a temporary Florida boating license, which can be obtained online for just under $10. This quick step ensures you’re legally authorized to operate the jetcar, which is a thoughtful safety and legal measure.
The experience is tailored for small groups or private sessions, with the 2-hour private option ideal for those wanting a more exclusive outing. Sharing the jetcar with friends or family adds to the fun, and reviews suggest that the interactive, social experience is a highlight.
Many visitors highlight the guides’ knowledge and friendliness. One reviewer mentioned, “Thomas was definitely a great time,” indicating that the staff’s attitude makes a difference. The stunning views of Miami’s wealthy estates are often praised for their visual impact, with one reviewer noting that the “luxury mansions and trendy restaurants are a real treat to see from the water.”
Some minor issues, like communication about the meeting point, have been noted, but overall, travelers find the process smooth and enjoyable. They also appreciate the flexibility of booking and cancellation policies, which allow for stress-free planning.
This jetcar adventure is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking for a quick taste of Miami’s luxe side. It’s particularly suited for those who enjoy water sports, music, and photo opportunities, making it an interactive way to see the city’s coast. The family-friendly aspect (with room for two children under 10) also makes it appealing for parents wanting a safe adventure with their children.
However, if you’re not comfortable on water or prefer a more relaxing activity, this might feel a bit too energetic. Also, keep in mind that the ride’s short duration means it’s best as part of a broader Miami itinerary rather than a full-day activity.
In the end, this Miami jetcar ride offers a fun, lively, and visually stunning way to explore the coast. Its affordability and the ability to share the experience with friends or family make it a valuable option for a quick adventure. The luxury sights, music, and photo stops elevate it beyond a typical water activity.
For those who love keeping things light, fun, and interactive, this ride hits the right notes. It’s a chance to see Miami’s high-end scenery from a fresh perspective, all while feeling the wind in your hair and tunes in your ears.
If you’re after a memorable, small-group experience that combines sightseeing with a splash of adventure, this jetcar tour is worth considering.
