About Tybee Jet Ski & Watersports
Tybee Jet Ski & Watersports runs jet ski and kayak rentals from the Lazaretto Creek waterfront at the western entrance to Tybee Island. The location is purpose-built for powered watersports: riders launch straight into the creek and are minutes from the open riding area near the mouth of the Savannah River.
Jet ski rentals come with free instructional training, so no prior experience is required before throttling out past the marsh. The riding zone sits just outside Lazaretto Creek in front of the historic Cockspur Island Lighthouse, giving riders one of the most scenic backdrops on the Georgia coast, and dolphins routinely surface in the same waters. For guests who prefer paddling, the company offers kayak rentals into the protected tidal creeks, where the pace slows and the marsh wildlife takes over.
The draw here is the small-operation feel. Staff walk every rider through handling, tides, and boundaries personally, and reviewers consistently call out how comfortable beginners feel by the time they leave the dock. Between the lighthouse views, the frequent dolphin encounters, and the quick launch access, it is a favorite first jet ski experience for families visiting Tybee.
