About Island Adventure Watersports
Island Adventure Watersports sits beside the historic Socastee Swing Bridge on the Intracoastal Waterway in the southern part of Myrtle Beach. The sheltered waterway location gives them calm, flat-water conditions that are ideal for jet ski riding, wakeboarding, and pontoon cruising — a contrast to the choppier open-ocean launches some competitors use. They are open daily from March through October.
Their flagship offering is jet ski rentals on the Intracoastal, available in half-hour and one-hour blocks. Beyond freestyle riding, they run guided backcountry jet ski tours through the salt marshes and tidal creeks where dolphins, ospreys, and sea turtles are regular sightings. The marina also rents pontoon boats for self-guided groups, offers wakeboarding and tubing behind their tow boats, and operates tiki boat party cruises that seat up to six with a built-in sound system and cooler.
Island Adventure consistently ranks among the top-rated jet ski operators on the Grand Strand, with reviewers highlighting the knowledgeable guides and the quieter, more scenic Intracoastal setting compared to open-ocean rides. The Dick Pond Road location also means easier parking and less congestion than the beachfront docks, making check-in and launch faster during peak summer weekends.
