San Diego Powersports, Solana Beach

Just off the coast of MIssion Bay, San Diego Powersports maintains an armada of rental jet-skis and boats. Seadoo GTX personal watercraft carve through the bay's gentle waves, carrying up to three passengers at exhilarating speeds. Like a team of horses towing a sports car, the jet-ski's four-stroke engine strikes a balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Cobalt boats carry up to 12 passengers in comfort, each vessel's deep hull providing complete stability. Both varieties of watercraft are easily captained by even novices after a brief lesson.
