TOPSAIL BEACH – Summer isn’t officially over until late September, so there is plenty of time to explore the Intracoastal Waterway aboard a jet ski from A&B Saltwater Adventures.
Located at the Bush Marina in Topsail Beach, A&B Saltwater Adventures is owned and operated by Britni and Andrew Floyd.
“We have 16 miles of riding area,” said Andrew. “It’s the largest in the area.”
The riding area stretches southward from Serenity Point and northward to the high rise bridge in North Topsail Beach. Riders can travel under the iconic swing bridge in Surf City and view its gear mechanism.
This is the second season of business for A&B Saltwater Adventures.
“It’s been a busy season,” said Britni.
A&B Saltwater Adventures' business was so popular this season, the company will expand next season at Bush Marina.
“We have more than 20 years of experience on the water,” said Andrew, adding that he and Britni have civilian and military training.
A&B Saltwater Adventures rents 2015 Yamaha Jet Skis. Before anyone takes off on a jet ski, Britni and Andrew (A.K.A.) Capt. A.J., give renters a run down.
“We have vacationers who have never driven a jet ski,” said Andrew. “Then we have boaters who say they always wanted to try a jet ski.”
The three-seater jet skis hold up to 530 lbs. Renters generally take the jet skis out for an hour or longer.
“We offer discounts to military personnel and first responders,” said Andrew. “We enjoy serving people who serve the area.”
If jet skis seem too fast for a renter’s pace, A&B Saltwater Adventures rents stand-up paddle boards or SUPs.
“Visitors and locals enjoy the water and from the Intracoastal Waterway, you see Topsail Island from a different perspective,” said Andrew.
To reserve a jet ski or a SUP, call 910-915-5256.
“If we’re with a customer, please leave a message,” said Andrew. “Leave a voicemail and we will respond as soon as possible.”
Andrew said anyone wishing to rent a jet ski or SUP may also email them at absaltwateradventures@gmail.com.
