As we move into spring, many of our readers are getting excited for those first days back out on the water. For most of us, that means lake days or coastal cruising—but there are always exciting ways to shake up our usual PWC routines. In a recent YouTube video, the channel Miami Living 305 highlights one of the more challenging and rewarding PWC activities: long-distance trips.
The video documents a 120-mile (193-kilometer) journey from Miami to Key West, all on the back of a Sea-Doo. In addition to stunning footage of the Florida coastline, the video dives into all the nitty-gritty details involved in completing such a demanding ride. From mid-ocean refueling stops to losing equipment to the waves, it’s a fascinating look at the realities of a long-distance jet ski trip.
Along the way, the rider highlights various islands, beaches, and landmarks passed throughout the journey. It’s particularly enjoyable to see the wide variety of sights along the way—from cruise ships to houseboats to several breathtaking islands. There’s even a spontaneous jet ski race that adds a touch of unexpected fun.
While most of our readers might not have the chance to take this specific trip themselves, the video is definitely worth a watch for anyone looking to find inspiration for their own long-distance PWC adventures, wherever they may be. Miami Living 305 does a great job of showing everything that goes into planning and executing a ride of this scale—while encouraging viewers to challenge themselves and try something new this PWC season.
