Xtreme H20

All 9 of us were able to parasail on the day we called. Amber and Chris and the other staff members took great care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! We will definitely return to Xtreme H2O Sports for more family fun. Thank you, guys!

I had a great time we rented wave runners for an hour, we coasted in the no wake zones and we breezed in the bay and in the gulf. You’re usually tired after 30 minutes especially when/​if you’re really chopping at the waves and we were so we swung by Crab Island to get some rest and there we hung out with the boaters as we relaxed in shallow waters.
I really don’t like how they make you park the wave runner. You have to pull it up onto this narrow docking station and the direction given isn’t really clear and it could cost YOU. There I was pulling in, I thought it was my turn to pull in but while waiting for direction the kid directing people in started talking to the group on the last wave runner that he had directed in. As I was nearing the the narrow opening to dock my wave runner I decided to make a u turn so that I didn’t collide. There the young man looked up and said he was ready for me. I tried to steer in but I missed the narrow opening and I nicked the vessel. Frustrated he said, «Follow me I’ll get you in.» At this point he decided to actually guide me in. So after I was parked the guy examined the wave runner where I had nicked the docking station and he asked me to stay behind to report the damage. Luckily when the supervisor came I told him what happened and he let me go and they didn’t charge me.

We are extremely pleased with the service and equipment the guys and galls there were awesome we had a blast drove from Ohio for our vaca. And we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Cody Clark a local turned us on to this place and they are definitely great.

We had a blast… Looking for friendly service and quality jet skis here is your place. no worries when it comes to parking… The staff was awesome… All smiles… When ever I come back to Florida this will be on the agenda for sure!

Has a great time very fun professional they will walk you through eeery step, I can’t wait to go back. My only suggestion is to make an appoinment

Our family of six chose Xtreme H2O for both wave runners and parasailing while staying in the Destin area. They don’t always have someone to answer the phone right away, but they will call you back!
They also have two locations, very close to one another, but they only parasail out of one, so be sure you have the address. We ended up getting the wave runners at one location and parasailing at the other location.
The wave runners are brand new every year and will sit up to three people, and they go fast! Up to 50mph with two people on one.
Parasailing was a cool experience, the crew was safety minded, fun, and informative on the area.
I would highly recommend this place for your water fun

I guess your overall experience will depend on whether you incur in damage charges or not. I spent a great hour riding their jet ski with my friends but unfortunately I had a little accident where my friend’s jet ski scratched my rental on the right side, next to a repair patch from I guess a similar incident. I knew I was going to be responsible for the damage as I was not insured for it. They did not offer insurance either. I was expecting something like $ 150 to $ 200 in damages but as soon as I pulled in after my ride, they said «this is going to be expensive». The person in charge called the owner and got back to me after a few minutes with a $ 800 damage repair estimate. I was able to get it down to $ 600 but really? Is that really the cost to get the jet ski fiberglass body repaired? and that is assuming they actually repair it instead of adding another $ 5 patch to it. Again, I’m not on that business so I don’t know the actual cost to repair a fiberglass piece. Just be warned. Homeowners nor car insurance will pay for it. Credit card purchase coverage won’t pay for damage on rentals either. Personal Umbrella policies will typically have jet skis over 50 hp in their exclusion list and won’t cover damages on the equipment. Maybe there is a rider on a travel policy that might include coverage but as of this review I am not aware of a good financial back up to cover unexpected charges. Ride at your own risk. At the end, I see it as it costs me $ 695 for one-​hour jet ski rental.

Extreme H20 accommodated us with our party of 12 on one of their newly acquired pontoon boats. Their location was easy to get to and the service was top notch. They made our trip to Crab Island a memorable one. We will definitely be back next year!

I really like Jetski’s and my Fiancée really like’s dolphins so this was the perfect place to spend a free day. The only problem is we didn’t see any dolphins but they did give us more time on the Jetski because of this. Everyone was friendly and attentive, the price is great and they did well with Novice’s and explaining things.

Took our family of 7 out today for our first time parasailing, and it was awesome! Lee and Jim (I sincerely hope I’m remembering their names correctly because they were great) were fantastic with us first timers, especially the kids. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking to parasail in the area. They also have jet skis and pontoon boat rentals, and fishing excursions.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the location issue. They have 2 locations in Destin, one on Calhoun next to Dewey’s, which is well marked and easy to find, and the other one is «somewhere over by AJ’s». We, of course, showed up to the wrong location, and then were unable to find the other place because there is no signage. When I called to say how the heck are you supposed to get in this place, we can’t find it, Will answered and told me because of their lease they’re not allowed any streetside advertising. That’s absurd. So, we missed our initial 10:30am reservation time because of that. They were very apologetic and friendly about it though, and as we didn’t have any other plans for the day, they rescheduled us and we took a 4pm time slot over at the Calhoun location, and spent the time between at Beasley Park.
It all worked out for us, and like I said before, the crew was fantastic, and it was all in all a great experience!

Excellent place to rent a jet ski, go on a dolphin tour, or go parasail. We had a great time jet skiing and would use them again for sure. I do prefer Just Chute Me for when I want to parasail, just because of how wonderful the couple operating it are.

Had a fun day parasailing although the service was disappointing. Once we were out on the boat we got told they didn’t have a memory card for the camera (we had purchased the photo package for $ 120 for two people and it was my birthday present). They offered to use my phone however none of the pictures saved which was disappointing. When I brought it up to the people at the desk they apologized saying they had just received the memory card in like it wasn’t a big deal. I’m a local and won’t be using this company anymore.

Xtreme H2O was one of the highlights of our trip to beautiful Destin, FL. We booked a jet ski dolphin tour and had a blast! Our guide was a man who they call «The Waterboy», Good ol’ Bobby was a great guide who was awesome at finding dolphins.
We launched at 9:30am, and played until 10:45am. We got to see many dolphins, a sting ray, and simply enjoy the emerald waters while zipping around on the jet ski. At 10am, Bobby gave us 45 min of free time to play and have some fun. While we were out there, we were able to find 2 more dolphins swimming around. We followed them for about 10 minutes. While following them, they slammed the gas! For a good while we were going side by side, but they got going quickly. As I sped up on the jet ski, the dolphins started to play in our wake. That part was pretty awesome. They only played for about 1 – 2 minutes, then they disappeared. But that experience was my favorite part.
I was very grateful for Rose and the rest of the staff who helped us get signed in and geared up for the tour. We even decided to come back later that day to Parasailing, at $ 40 per person, it was a steal! Being able to fly 800 feet up in the air and look at the emerald coast was breath taking, we met some very friendly people on the boat and enjoyed our time.
Big thanks to Rose and the rest of the staff who helped us with payments and getting geared up and checked in. Everyone was professional and courteous.

Great experience! Instructors are friendly and very smart. I felt completely comfortable. This was my first time! Amazing experience. Dolphin tour /​wave runners with Bobby.

I had a great experience renting a jet ski here. Bobby was friendly and helpful throughout the process of renting the jet ski and showing me how to operate it. They go through the jet ski like a rental car showing you all the dings and everything the jet ski already has so that they won’t hold you responsible when you return the jet ski. They give discounts for renting for more than 1 hour and the jet skis they rent are extremely fast. I highly recommend Xtreme H2O for jet ski rental.

Absolutely horrid experience. We were in a group of 6. All of us were charged between $ 300 and $ 950 EXTRA for «damage» during the hour and 10 minutes we were out. The tour was supposed to be 1.5 hours long, we saw no dolphins, and the employees were sooooo rude. DON’T come here! Look into other options. I will never return.

I definitely recommended this place. This is your probably your best go to place if you want to experience some adventure fun in flordia. I did the jet skis and parasailing. The jet skis are well maintained, and parasailing was a breeze with awesome guys who guided me and my husband through it all! The prices a reasonable and the sevice is great!

These guys were amazing! I have wanted to go parasailing for years but never been brave enough to try it. I recently lost 115lbs and have found a new confidence I didn’t have before. I’m still overweight so don’t let that stop if you’ve wanted to go! The two guys on our boat were extremely nice and patient with me. I was scared especially since I was going alone, but they took excellent care of me and I had the time of my life! Definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to go!

Love this place! Would definitely come back in the future! We did did jet skis, dolphin tour, and parasailing with them. We had such a great experience! I was super scared for the parasailing mainly because I’m afraid of heights but captain lee was awesome & so was jay I had the best time they reassured me & made me feel safe. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have fun for good prices and be out in the water!

These guys are pros. They did everything they said they would do and they were friendly and professional on our parasailing excursion. My family of five had a terrific time, would go back and do it again with H20 in a second.

My friends and I were planning a trip to Destin in July (2014) and we all wanted to experience parasailing for the first time. I called to schedule and the young lady that answered was polite, efficient and informative. It was a smooth transaction.
Once we found the place (a little off the of the main road) we were impressed with the friendliness and warmth of the staff. We were concerned that all 3 of us won’t be able to ride together due to the listed weight restrictions; but they assured us it shouldn’t be a problem. The chutes can actually handle more weight than listed but the weather conditions can affect that … lucky for us it was great weather. After parking, checking-​in, using the restroom and take a few pics — the boat was there and ready to load up.
The captain and crew member (sorry it’s been a few months so I can’t remember their names, but they are in the photo) were very friendly, funny and upbeat. Now, my group is pretty friendly so we make things fun wherever we go … and they joined in right with us. It was good, because there is down time when other groups are parasailing (we had 5 groups that tour).
When it was our turn they lined us up, strapped us in and off we went! If you bring water cameras they will strap them to your life vest so you won’t drop it and can take selfies lol!!! It was so beautiful and peaceful up there. We had great weather so we were able to so out to the gulf for our ride.
And we did opt for the «dip» at the end! Our group had differences on how much of a dip we wanted. My cousin wanted a toe dip, my bff wanted a butt dip and I wanted a neck dip! Somehow … they made all of us happy!?! My side dipped up to my face while my cousin’s side only got her legs (which left my bff at a thigh dip)! I have no clue how they did it … but they did. AND since we purchased the photo package they even video taped the dip! We all had a great laugh about that video. Great experience!

I guess H2O had a bad day based on all the reviews and our experiance. Terrible company that doesn’t keep their word with reservations and come off as rude. I would not recommend them with so many other companies that provide a good honest service.

We had an amazing time on our jet ski dolphin tour. There is no better way to do it! I felt sorry for all the people on the dolphin tour boats straining to see the dolphins and we were able to ride along with them right by our skis! Our guide was very nice and and helped us get the most of our time. We spent most of our free time back in a cove in the bay where the dolphins hang out. Probably saw 40 or more dolphins total. After the hour tour we had 30 minutes to play! Overall it was an awesome experience.

Second time renting jet ski’s from Xtreme H2O Sports. Again, a terrific experience. The owner Jason and his staff are SUPER frIendly and helpful, happily answering questions you know they hear 100 times a day. They clearly care about their customers, and work hard to give you a positive and professional (yet informal) experience. H2O made renting a pair of jet skis (one for me and one shared by two 18 year olds) a breeze. They even arranged for the necessary boating license test there on site.
Don’t be put off by their sparse facilities and «off the path» location. They are actually easy to find, and their small facility gets the job done. Also, their location right next to the bridge is great, getting you out of the No Wake Zone and jet skiing immediately.
I will definitely use Xtreme H2O Sports on every visit to Destin. Highly Recommended…

Driving up this place is a bit sketchy looking but it is alright once you get the paperwork started.
I rented a jet ski for a few hours and with me and another rider, I managed to get it up to 53 mph — plenty fast.
The ski was a bit banged up, and they do not offer insurance and instead assess damages and charge you on the spot after your ride is complete. I was nervous going over all the damages already on the ski fearing I may miss something.
Fortunately I didn’t and I didn’t incur any damage while on the water. Overall a positive experience. I would rent from them again. The most important thing to me is the skis being fast. They remove the governors from the skis so they have unlimited top-​end.
