Without jet skis, the only way for thrill seekers to rule the waves would be to send a notarized request to Poseidon. Dominate lakes sans Olympian involvement with today's Groupon: for $85, you get a three-hour, in-water jet-ski rental from Arizona Outdoor Fun, with locations at Lake Pleasant and Bartlett Lake (a $185 value).

Arizona Outdoor Fun maintains a fleet of aquatic and off-road vehicles available to check out for fun-filled days exploring natural Arizona landscapes. Clients can walk up to either the Lake Pleasant or Bartlett Lake locations and ride away on a wake-blasting jet ski without the hassle of towing or launching from a truck-hitched trailer. Customers rent the Honda AquaTrax F12X GPScape or another brand of similarly sized jet ski. The AquaTrax, a 10-foot-long motorized seahorse with a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine and a 155mm jet pump, can attain speeds of up to 70 miles per hour on water and 10 miles per hour on butter. This high-performance aquamobile boasts top-notch handling, wind-slashing speed, and seating space for up to three riders. Lake jockeys glide along waters to scope out the best camping, fishing, and swimming spots or can simply enjoy a scenic water-shredding experience more thrilling than low-speed donuts in their neighbor's backyard pool.
