Does it come as any surprise that the Ocean State is home to prime jet skiing opportunities? Rhode Island boasts some of the most beautiful waters on the East Coast, making a day of adventure on a lake or the ocean one you’ll never forget. There’s a lot of open water out there, but we recommend these five awesome jet skiing spots in Rhode Island! 

1. Misquamicut Beach

This beach offers a calm inner cove and easy access to the open ocean. Rent a jet ski through Purple Ape, located in Westerly, Rhode Island. Rentals go at $75 for a half hour or $149 for an hour. You must be 18 years-old to ride with a valid driver’s license! 

2. Narragansett Bay

To explore Narragansett Bay, Jamestown, and Newport, rent a jet ski with Adventure Watersports. Riders launch from the Conanicut Marine in Jamestown. Rates go at $175 per hour.  

3. Newport Harbor

One of the best ways to explore the beautiful town of Newport is by renting a jet ski from Scooter World. Specializing in fun land and sea toys (scooters, bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards), Scooter World offers jet ski rentals at $145 for the first hour and then $100 for every additional hour. They also offer guided/expanded excursions for those who want to see local sights but have less experience!  

4. Block Island

It doesn’t get any more quaint and gorgeous than Block Island. Boasting 17 miles of beautiful beaches and plenty of water to explore, you can spend the whole day jet skiing off the Block. At the end of the day, stop into local restaurants and attractions to unwind! 

5. Brewer Greenwich Bay Marina, Warwick, RI

Located in Warwick Cove, Greenwich Bay Marina is a great place to get your day of jet skiing started! Brewer boasts an array of yacht yards and marinas all across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Rhode Island. You’ll have to bring your own ride, but there are plenty of amenities to get you prepared for a day on the water. There’s a spot to fuel up as well as showers and an on-site restaurant for after your long day riding the waves.
