Jet Ski Rentals

When the warm Midwestern months take their toll on your sanity, hop on a jet ski rental from Windy City Watersports and toss your worries to the wayside. Leave behind the humidity and feel the cool breeze envelope you as you slash through the waves while enjoying a beautiful Chicago afternoon.

Banana Boat Rides

For a day with your family, nothing beats a banana boat ride. With room for six, each banana boat ride is pulled by a jet ski and takes you on a 20-minute journey through the water. Be prepared to get a little—okay, very—wet as the jet ski makes sharp turns and rides the waves at high speeds. Don’t worry, though, because our operators are U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains and will prepare all riders with safety guidelines and provide life preservers.
