Imagine cruising along Miami’s famous coastline in something that’s part sports car, part jet ski, and entirely fun. For just $8 per person, you get to drive the first 2-seater JetCar in the USA for one hour, with the chance to enjoy breathtaking views of mansions, trendy restaurants, and sparkling beaches. This experience is suitable for up to two adults or one adult and a kid, making it perfect for a family outing or a couple seeking a thrill.
Two things we really appreciate: first, the opportunity to listen to your favorite music via Bluetooth while gliding past Miami’s luxurious homes—nothing beats a little personal soundtrack with a view. Second, the safety measures, like life jackets and an instructor, give peace of mind on what’s essentially a high-performance watercraft.
A sensible consideration? The cost of $8 per person sounds incredibly reasonable, but remember that you’ll need a Florida boating license if born after 1988, which involves a small fee and a study guide. This might be a minor hurdle for some, but it’s a fair safety requirement.
This tour suits adventurous travelers, families with older children, or anyone curious about Miami’s coastline from a fresh, exciting perspective. If you love stunning scenery and a bit of adrenaline, this is worth considering.
