What people say about this operator.
What they like?
Patient instructors with clear, easy instructions, jet skis that are simple to handle, and big city and river views from the water.
What could be better?
Honestly, not much. The water can get a bit choppy on the ride back, so hold on tight, slap on sunscreen and bring a change of clothes.
