Testimonials
Thanks for a great morning last week. Our son, daughter and a friend rented jet skis for an hour. They had a great time and all would like to do it again. What impressed us most was the emphasis you put on safety at all times. The teens had to take the boater safety test before being allowed to go out. Once that was done you continued to stress the importance of safety when out on the water. As parents we always worry when they try new things but knowing that they were well prepared helped out. We will definitely recommend your company to others.
Thanks again,
Barbara and Gerard
Just wanted to say thanks for a great time on Saturday! My friends and I had a blast on the boat, snorkeling, and hanging out at holiday isle and the sand bar.
Thanks again for helping make my birthday awesome!

I am writing to tell you what a great experience your jet ski/snorkel tour was for my geology class from Augustana College. We were there to look at both the livign reef environment (i.e. your tour) and the fossil reefs on Windley Key. The great thing about it was they got to see things college students from the mid-west do not often get to see, so they learned much, but had fun in the process.
I can't tell you how excited they were after the tour, they talked about it all week. Thanks again to our great tour guide. I would be happy to recommend your tour to any other groups like mine. We also have some great photos thanks to our
guide.

Kathy,
Thanks again for an awesome adventure that Brandon will remmeber for the rest of his life. Your company offered so much more than a lot of other jet ski rental companies. The service was outstanding and the tour, snorkling and ride could not have been better. To see a sea turtle, shark and have the dolphins ride along the jet ski was far more than anyone could hope for. We will defintely come back and recommend your service to anyone who is planning a vacation to the keys.

My family visted your business in early June 2008 and went out snorkeling one day and rented a boat later that week. You have a wonderful staff and enjoyed the experience.
Thank you!

We had an awesome time snorkeling and enjoyed the use of a boat for 1/2 a day. We so appreciate the extra time taken to make us feel comfortable in running the boat and showing us exactly where to go with the map. The area is so beautiful. We had a perfect day out on the water!
Thank you!

Wanted to write a testimonial of the Waverunner trip we booked & was unable to send it on-line,
There is no doubt that our waverunner tour, led by Kathy, was the highlight of our Keys vacation.
Our teens, 14 & 19, had a fabulous time. We enjoyed the snorkeling at the reef, seeing dolphins, rays and sharks, and
just enjoying scooting around the beautiful area.
A great afternoon - thank you!
Regards,

Wanted to write a testimonial of the Waverunner trip we booked & was unable to send it on-line,
therefore, am sending this note.
We were in the Keys celebrating my 50th birthday during the week of February 4, 2008. The
weather was phenominal and and a Waverunner trip sounded so ideal since neither of us had ever
been on one before. We contacted AlA Watersports and took the tour the same day. They didn't
mind taking us on the tour even though we were the only two they were taking out. Since this
was a slow tourism time, several places cancelled trips we'd planned due to not being able to fill
all the slots, so we were thrilled to find AlA Watersports didn't mind taking out just two people!
We can't say enough about what a fantastic 2-hour tour this was. Brandon, our guide, made sure
we were both very comfortable operating the Waverunner since we were novices. He explained
the operations of the Waverunner in detail, then gave us practice time to get comfortable with the
feel of it. He then gave us a tour that was so much more than we ever expected it to be. The
sandbar was beautiful, but the trip through the mangrove tunnels and the slalom course he took
us on were spectacular, and so much fun. When a family of 5-6 dolphins began playing around
us, Brandon let us sit and watch them forever, it seemed. What an awesome sight this was!
Brandon made this 2-hour trip the highlight of my birthday! He was an excellent guide and very
attentive to our inexperience. We will DEFINITELY book more tours through AlA Watersports
on our next trip to the Keys. They truly care about their customers and want you to have the
time of your life. We will have memories forever from this Waverunner trip with Brandon!
Thanks, Brandon, for being such fantastic tour guide!

Hello Kathy, Les, and everyone else,
I thank you all for your assistance last month. I enjoyed the boat. It worked well, it was cleaned so frequently that I hardly recognized it!
You all were quite kind and patient with this old yankee. I look forward to returning (hard to say when) . But I would not look anywhere else
for a boat.
Dave Doehlert
Dear Kathy and Gregg,
Thank you for a great afternoon on your jet ski tour around Islamorada. I was there to go kiteboarding, and with no wind to speak of, went jet skiing with you instead. The snorkeling on the reef was relaxing and the cruising around was just great! I would recommend your jet ski tour to anyone seeking an afternoon of fun on the water and some excitement! Thanks again.

Dear Kathy & Gregg,
We just wanted to let you both know how much we enjoyed the Waver Runner
Tour. Vacation time comes and goes too quickly and we really wanted to
make sure we were going to have a good time out on the water. Our experience
with A1A Watersports started off with a friendly greeting from Gregg who
did a nice job of explaining the different activities and rentals you had
to offer. Gregg told us Kathy, that you would be our guide and you too
warmly greeted us when we arrived. You both did an outstanding job
outlining what we could expect of our 2 hour tour. You both thoroughly
went through the safety guidelines and procedures for using a Wave
Runner - neither one of us had ever been on one, but not to worry, you
both made it easy to understand and use. Our time out on the water was
everything you promised it would be. We had a BLAST!
Islamorada has always been one of our favorite places to kick back and
relax. And this year was no exception- but the Wave Runner Tour was the
highlight and will be a nice addition to our vacation activities when
we return.
Thanks again for a great time.

Well, back to reality for us. Thank you SO much for the great service
and help with the boat. Please let me know where I can go on a website
to tell the world about how great you guy's are! You truly made our vacation!
We plan on returning to La Siesta next year, and would like to reserve the
same boat we used this year, on the following dates, June 30, July 1, 2
and 3. Four days. I know it's a bit early to reserve, but I'm afraid
you guy's are like this little secret that's going to get out, and
you'll be booked.
We'll be back before then.... trying for August. Hope to see you then.
Thank you
Leigh Keilty
My husband wanted to thank you again for such a great time with your wave
runner tour to Islamorada this past April. What a day. We had dolphins
circling our wave runner for nearly 5 minutes, but it felt like an hour.
What a thrill - and Kathy caught it on pictures for us to keep.
For anyone considering the tour, Kathy was an expert guide. Her
expertises with the wave runner protocols were practical and safe - and
well needed on our part! It was only the second time we had been on
wave runners. We really appreciated the lesson prior to our trip. We
were part of a big group and she was able to handle everyone well and
equally. Her knowledge of the island, the animals, and the environment
made it a well rounded, fun-filled day. There wasn't part of the island
that we felt we didn't get to see. We would highly recommend this tour
to anyone who wants to see all there is on this Islamorada. Going out
to the sandbar, getting off our wave runners for a group picture was an
added bonus.
Thanks again for such a great time. We will never forget it.

Hi Kathy,
This is Bonnie (of Ed and Bonnie, The Honeymooners!). We were the ones
that took your suggestion of going on your waverunner tour instead of just
renting one each for two hours. I am glad we did! This was on August 9th
of 2007.
Ed had ridden one years ago, but I was a newbie. I sure didn't feel like
one after you got done with us! Every part of it was fantastic. I
particularly appreciate the "beginning" of the tour, where we are sent out
one by one, to get our "sea legs" on the machines. We were out there a
good 15 minutes before you rounded us all up to head for the coral. At
first I thought this would be the end of our "freedom". But no!
After about 20 minutes or so of snorkeling (which is great that all this
is included in the price) and seeing fish, rock and coral formations, we
boarded our waverunners and headed for the "Sand Bar", which was BEAUTIFUL.
I don't know how you had time to enjoy the trip yourself, making sure you
got pictures of everyone frolicking in the water, but you did. I will
send you a few when we get them developed! It was sure nice to learn
where people came from and why they were in the Keys.
Next we hopped back on the 'runners, under one of the causeways and
zig-zagged through some mangroves on the gulf side. I had never seen them
up close before. Lots of Fish! After that it was the need for speed!
This was awesome! Single file (almost) at top speed other than the deviance
into slallom courses, zig-zagging and considerately, going around in big
circles so that those who were less confident could catch up. This
continued down the key until we passed under another bridge back to the
ocean side and more of the same.
I saw a dolphin but didn't get it's picture and everyone was going too
fast for anyone to hear me (sorry, I tried).
Ed and I SOOOOOOOO want to do this again! What a job you must have! I'm
jealous! We will have to move further south so we can do it more than
once a year! You were also very personable, knowledgeble, and I felt as
if we had made a friend when we left. Keep up the great work. (I know
how hard it must be for you)
Bonnie and Ed.
Lisa and I just want to say, of our Honeymoon... it was finding your jet
ski tour the top of our list of best things we did together. We got
married on the Showqueen cruise Boat in Clearwater Beach on September
30th 2006 and drove to the Keys after a day at Disney. We stayed at a
cottage near your location and were looking for something to do. Your
place was recommended and we found you at the Days Inn location. Yes
Brandon did fantastic for his first tour and he was so much of a great
help after I had gotten off of the ski to look at the reef. [A video
camera would have been great to have, hmm families funniest videos
$10 grand?] Brandon got off his ski and helped me back on mine as
I have arthritis in both knees and elbow. it took two attempts but he did
it. Brandon took us out and showed us first timers on jet ski's how to
"drive" a jet ski then showed us the sand bar, Mangroves, the reef.
Some rough waves slowed us down till we got over to the gulf side and
there was a course set up and take off we did..
We Both want to recommend to others a 2 hour tour with A1a Watersports.
If we ever return to the Keys, you can bet we will be looking your
services up and going back out.
Bill and Lisa King
I would just like to express how happy we were with the jet ski tour we took
on Saturday March 10 2007. Our tour guide's name escapes us at the time
(Brandon we think) was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and we were
confident with him taking us out in the open waters. We had a blast!
We got engaged on this trip and the Jet Ski tour was the icing on the cake.
We have
pledged to ourselves to take the same trip every time we come to the Keys.
Snorkeling we saw a huge sea turtle and at the sand reef two dolphins
followed our jet skis away from the sand bar. Once again we just wanted to
express how happy we were with your company and we will definitely recommend
you when ever we can.

Hi Kathy,
I just wanted to thank you again for the fabulous tour you gave our
BioLucent "team". It truly was the highlight of their trip, just as you
said it would be. The "new" waverunners were an additional bonus.
Everyone agrees that you were a fantastic guide, being very thorough with
explaining all the safety information they needed to know, as well as
information on what they were about to see on the tour. I appreciate how
great you were to work with as I tried to coordinate this activity, and the
genuine enthusiasm and passion you displayed throughout the tour. It was
very obvious you love what you do, and you do it well!
Being able to come upon the dolphins that day was such a thrill for
everyone, and the pictures that you were able to get of them will be forever
in their memory books! They thought the "sandbar" was a pretty neat place
to stop, and they enjoyed the fruit you were so gracious to pick up for us.
What else can I say! It was a fantastic tour that truly made everyone's
trip to the Keys extra special. I would be happy to be a recommendation for
you and your tour any time.
Eileen
Thank you so much for all your help.
