The HydroJet boat on Destin's emerald waters

Our Story

About HydroJet Boats

A one-of-a-kind vessel, a dedicated crew, and a mission to make every trip on the water unforgettable.

Where It Started

Born from a Vision,
Built for Adventure

HydroJet Boats was founded on a simple idea: a boat ride in Destin should feel like nothing else on the water.

The HydroJet—a custom-built vessel unlike anything else on the Emerald Coast—was envisioned by the late Mike Bonner, a man who believed the best way to experience Destin's waters was fast, loud, and full of excitement.

Today, HydroJet LLC continues that legacy under the leadership of RJ and a crew who share the same passion for the water and the guests who come to experience it. Every tour is operated with the same energy, enthusiasm, and commitment that made the HydroJet a beloved Destin attraction.

Operating from 314 Harbor Blvd. in the heart of Harborwalk Village, we've been welcoming families, groups, and adventure seekers to the Gulf for years.

The Vessel

The World's Largest
Jet-Ski

The HydroJet is a custom-built vessel that defies easy categorization. It's part jet-ski, part tour boat — built to deliver the thrill of personal watercraft with the capacity and safety of a proper tour vessel.

The boat holds up to 29 passengers and is U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified. Every crew member is drug-tested and trained to deliver a safe, fun, and memorable experience for guests of all ages — from 5 to 85.

Destin's Only Shark Boat Dolphin Tour

Alongside the HydroJet, we operate the Shark Boat Dolphin Tour — a custom 40-foot adventure vessel and the only one of its kind in Destin. Built to look like a shark and engineered to create the perfect wake, it naturally attracts dolphins to play and jump alongside the boat.

The Shark Boat Dolphin Tour offers a more relaxed, covered cruise through the Destin Harbor, the Gulf, and Crab Island — with cushioned seating, an onboard restroom, and live crew narration.

What We Stand For

Safety, Fun, and the Gulf

Safety First

Every tour is U.S. Coast Guard inspected. Our crew is drug-tested, trained, and certified. Life jackets are provided for all guests. We don't cut corners on safety — ever.

Genuine Fun

We're not a sightseeing cruise. The HydroJet is built for people who want to feel the water, not just look at it. Speed, spray, dolphins, and a crew that loves what they do.

Family First

From 5-year-olds on their first boat ride to grandparents celebrating a milestone — we've designed every tour to work for the whole family. No experience required.
