About Sunshine Watersports
Sunshine Watersports operates from the beach at Gilbert's Resort, bayside at mile marker 107.9 — the very first stop as travelers cross the Jewfish Creek bridge into Key Largo. That northernmost position gives the outfit direct access to the calm, shallow waters of Blackwater Sound and the edge of the Everglades backcountry, prime territory for dolphins, sandbars, and postcard sunsets.
The headline offering is guided jet ski tours that sweep across Florida Bay in search of wild dolphins, with day and sunset departures available. Sandbar tours by boat carry up to six guests to shallow anchorages for swimming and lounging, while day boat charters open up the backcountry for cruising and wildlife spotting. Kayak rentals round out the lineup for paddlers who prefer to explore the mangrove shoreline at their own pace.
Riding out of a bayside beach bar setting is the differentiator: guests step off a jet ski and straight onto Gilbert's sand for food, drinks, and live music, making a half-day rental feel like a full beach day. Protected bay water also means novice riders get flat, forgiving conditions rather than ocean chop, which keeps the tours accessible to first-timers and families.
