Sea-DOO

+ Where exactly are you located?

We are located on the Halifax Waterfront (1597 Lower Water Street, Halifax, B3J1S2) Our office is located on the dock right next to the Stubborn Goat Beer Garden. Parking is available on-site.

+ Do I need to book in advance?

Booking in advance is required. Same day reservations are generally available and can be made online or in store up to 1 hour before departure. Please book as early as possible to maximize your chances of getting your preferred date and time. Payment can be made with Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

+ Do I need jet-ski/ Sea-Doo experience to enjoy the tour?

No previous experience required! More than 90% of our guests are first-time Sea-Doo riders! Our Sea-Doos are very easy to operate and comfortable to drive, so as long as you’re comfortable in and around the water, you’ll have a blast!

Just so you know, our certified guides give a short safety briefing before we depart, and they are always close by and ready to assist you at any point while out on the water. After we depart, the first few minutes are within a no wake zone (5 mph speed limit) where you will get the feel of it before you start to accelerate out in the open water.

+ What are the age restrictions for Sea-Doos?

The Sea-Doo driver must have a valid drivers license. Riders without a valid drivers license and above the age of 6 years may still ride the craft in the passenger position for an extra fee. *The minimum age to operate a Seadoo is 19 years old.**

+ What is the difference between a Sea-Doo rental and a Sea-Doo tour?

• Our “Guided Rentals” give you the freedom to explore the Halifax harbour at your own pace. Rent a Sea-Doo for yourself, or bring an additional rider along with you, and take your own sightseeing tour, stop to take pics, or just zip through the waves! It’s up to you – the harbour is yours! Our experienced guides will be out on the water nearby to ensure your comfort and safety. But don’t worry, they won’t interfere with your rental, unless called for.
• During a “Guided Tour”, our experienced tour guides will take you to some of the most interesting points of interest and hidden gems along the Halifax harbour, delve into its rich and unique history, and showcase some of the best sights it has to offer!

+ What kind of Personal Water Craft (PWC) do we use on our tours?

We use 2020, 2021 & 2022 Seadoo GTI SE.

+ How many people can ride one Sea-Doo?

We allow a maximum of 2 people on a single Sea-Doo (or 2 adults and a child), provided that the combined weight of all riders is under 600 lb pounds. Keep in mind that it is easier to maneuver with one person on a jet ski.

+ If two people go on a Sea-Doo, are we allowed to switch drivers?

Yes, as long as both drivers are 19 and over, you may switch during the tour only at designated area.

+ Do we pay per person or per Sea-Doo?

Both! The standard price is based on a single rider on a single Sea-Doo. If you have a passenger on your Sea-Doo, there will be an additional charge of $25. If the passenger is 12 years old or younger, it’s on us!

+ Do I have to sign a waiver?

Yes. It is a requirement that all individuals participating sign a waiver. A waiver will be emailed to each participant for electronic signature prior to your tour, or it can be signed on the dock. You must be 19 years of age or older to sign your waiver. Anyone under 19 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian sign the waiver for them. The minimum age to operate a Seadoo is 19 years old.

+ Is there a place for customers to change?

Unfortunately, not. Please come ready.

+ WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Plan on getting wet! During warmer weather, we highly recommend wearing your bathing suit. Dress in layers and wear clothing that will wick away perspiration and keep you dry and comfortable. Avoid heavy cotton clothing (like jeans). Hats, sunglasses (on a rope!), and sunscreen are also important to bring along.

+ Is The Halifax Harbour clean enough to use a Sea-Doo in?

The answer is yes! Over the last 20 years, multiple levels of government have spent $333 million to clean up The Halifax Harbour with amazing success!

+ Does the tour run in the rain?

Rain is not the only weather that can prevent us from being able to take a tour or guided rental out. Weather and water conditions can sometimes be dangerous, even if it appears to be a beautiful day out. If we cancel your tour, you will be given a choice to reschedule or receive a full refund. We will typically notify you of cancellation at least 3 hrs prior to tour time. However, if you are concerned about the conditions, please give us a call and ask.

+ What is the best time of day to go on a Sea-Doo rental or a tour?

• Morning (8am-noon) – This is typically the calmest part of the day.
• Afternoon (Noon-5pm) – This is the height of the “action”. Want to be out riding (safely) along side ferries, cruise ships and tour boats? Afternoons are the time to do it!
• Late Afternoon/Early Evening (5pm-8pm) – Anytime in The Halifax Harbour is beautiful, but late afternoon takes the cake. The water generally starts to calm, boat traffic diminishes, and the sun starts going down on yet another day in the greatest city in the world. Breathtaking.

+ Do you have video packages?

Yes! Every Sea-Doo has a G0-Pro mounted on the bow which records you and the sights during the entirety of your tour or guided rental. You will be provided with the SD card containing all the tour footage.

+ Will I be charged extra for gas?

No, gas is included in the tour or guided rental price.

+ When should I need to arrive for my boat tour?

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your departure time.
