About SD Adventures
SD Adventures has been the go-to provider for jet ski and boat rentals on San Diego Bay since 2014, operating from a prime waterfront dock at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina on Harbor Island — just three minutes from the airport. Their fleet centres on brand-new Yamaha VX WaveRunners capable of reaching sixty-five miles per hour, alongside Bayliner Element speedboats that seat up to six passengers and Solliner solar electric boats for a quieter cruise. No boating licence is required for any rental — just a valid driver's licence and a quick safety briefing before you hit the water.
Beyond self-drive rentals, SD Adventures offers guided jet ski tours that trace five-plus miles of coastline past the Coronado Bridge, the Navy base, and the USS Midway, with dolphins and sea lions frequently appearing along the route. Their sunset bay cruises provide a more relaxed way to take in the downtown skyline, and the eight-person Crazy Board — a giant communal paddleboard — has become a favourite for birthday parties and team outings. Kayaks, clear-bottom Calypso kayaks, and paddleboards round out the fleet for guests who prefer a slower pace on the sheltered harbour waters.
SD Adventures prides itself on transparent pricing with gas always included and no hidden fees, branding itself as the home of the seventy-five-minute rental in a market where most competitors offer sixty-minute blocks. LED underwater lighting is available for evening excursions, and all equipment comes with Coast Guard-compliant safety gear. Located steps from the Sheraton's lobby with parking vouchers that bring garage fees under fifteen dollars, the operation is especially convenient for hotel guests and visitors flying into San Diego who want to get on the water the same day they arrive.
