I had the opportunity to have a nice view of NYC from the water. It was a nice experience, although a little too pricey one. I went with two other friends and at the conclusion of the trip when we arrived to the harbor and parked the jet skis, the guide supposedly "inspected" all three skis, he went specifically to the first skis and found what appeared an old scratch in the pain. He rapidly claimed that the scratch was caused by a little bump two of the riders had, when the skis were on halt while taking pictures to Ellis Island. Honestly the bump was in the rear part of one of the jet skis. The guide was present when the incident happened but never stopped to check the ski. These two never came into full contact because all jet skis were on halt, not shut off. The guide and someone else from the staff made a quick call to an expert on fiberglass to get an estimate. The person never showed up but they said they had sent him a picture and he estimated the damage was 225 dollars. The scratch it had was so minor that it would be almost impossible to have a clear perspective of what it takes to fix it through a picture. At the end, we had to pay 234 with cents for the supposed scratched. What really kills me is that the guide went straight to that spot as though he knew about the scratch. It was 7 pm and the lighting was not the best at the site. My purpose is not to hurt anybody's business or to damage their reputation, but when something is not right, it is necessary to speak up so others future riders know what to do before using empire city water sports. Some members of the staff were very nice, but the guide behaved very unprofessionally. By seeing this, it is not the first time they do that.

best place in the city for jet ski rentals
