Does anyone know the average cost of Jet Ski now. I know you can barter the price, but there is a usual average.

Will be interesting to see this ans, our granddaughter paid $25 for 15 min 2 years ago, high huh?
My hubby usually uses the same guy each time (Robin?) and he gets 45 minutes for $30. I think the usual is about $30 for 30 minutes though.
We paid $80 for an hour. I asked three different vendors prices ranged from $100, $90 and $80. The first guy who said $100 was mad that I didn't go back to him and tell him the other guy offered us $80 so he could offer the same. He was really ticked of at me and pulled my husband aside and said that isn't the way you do things and that he was in trouble with his boss. Well, then you should have offered me the $80 in the first place and not try and rip me off, for that reason alone I wouldn't use him. I wasn't in the mood to get into a haggling situation while on vacation. When we pointed to the $80 guy to bring the jet ski in for us (there were 4 of us and we rented two skis) you should have seen them all flying in on their jet skis and throwing life jackets on all of us. It was like an attack! But we knew which 2 skis we wanted and chose those. I realize these people try and get the most $$ they can from you, but I don't appreciate being treated like a moron either, I mean really when there are 10 different people trying to rent you a jet ski, of course you're going to go with the better price/jet ski. Don't be mad at me after the fact when I chose the best bang for the buck!
I made the mistake one time of not insisting I get the nice new one they were showing off..they gave me a old crappy one with no power and bad throttle..make sure you insist on the nice one they show off
We have started as of late to ask how much time for a given amount of money. Say how much for $30.00? If it sounds fair we ski if not we may ask the next person....
That's probably the way to go.Quote:

Encouraging jet ski use is irresponsible on this forum.
Basically ?"scolding"? someone for asking this two weeks ago {before the very unfortunate incident with Mr. Castillo (RIP)} is probably not right because with how many there are out there who would think that proper regulation (i guess you could call it) is not in place. This resent event is very tragic and very eye opening, with that said I'm sure most if not all boardies wouldn't really want to ride a jet ski in Negril anymore. The only reason I call it scolding is because if I asked this question and then that was posted I would feel like Ive done something wrong and feel pretty bad about it.
