Suncat Watersports
An authentic Floridian experience awaits when you book with Suncat Watersports.

With insider and expert staff assisting you throughout the process, you will hit the waterways like a local when you rent here.
Before heading over to one of their two locations on the Sandy Beaches, you will want to make sure you have everything you need for booking, including a photo ID, someone at least 18 years of age or older, and a temporary permit, which can be obtained online.
Head to their location between Emerald Beach Resort and Sunrise Beach Resort or their spot behind Tidewater Beach Resort for a thrilling time on one of these wave runners.
