Useful Cortez planning

Choose the experience before you choose the route.

Cortez visitors are close to several ways to enjoy the water, but the best fit depends on the day. Boat rentals are built for groups that want their own pace and room for the crew. Jet ski rentals are for an active, independent ride. Guided jet ski tours work well when a local-led route is the better choice.

Cortez is a visitor area Little Philly serves, not a Little Philly storefront or pickup location. Boat-rental guests meet at Kingfish Boat Ramp, 752 Manatee Ave, Holmes Beach. Jet ski rental and guided jet ski tour guests meet at Palma Sola Bay Causeway in Bradenton.

Use the booking flow for current availability; your confirmation provides the arrival window, requirements, and precise day-of instructions.
