Key West’s high salinity, warm ocean waters, and intense South Florida sun demand dedicated watercraft care. Our professional Key West jet ski maintenance plans are engineered to prevent saltwater corrosion, protect your investment, and keep your Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner, or Kawasaki running reliably all year long.
Tier 1: Seasonal & Light User Plan
Ideal for: Vacation homeowners, snowbirds, or light riders logging under 20 hours per year.
Sitting idle in Key West’s humid tropical atmosphere leads to fast battery discharge, fuel degradation, and internal salt crystallization. This entry-tier maintenance package focuses on long-term storage protection and smooth recommissioning when you return to the Florida Keys.
What’s Included:
- Annual Standard Engine Service: Complete synthetic engine oil change, OEM filter replacement, and new spark plug installation.
- Saltwater Descaling & Anti-Corrosion Treatment: Deep internal engine cooling system flush and full anti-corrosion fogging spray applied to all metal engine components.
- Long-Term Lay-Up Preparation: High-grade fuel stabilizer application, fuel tank top-off, and battery disconnect with trickle-charger hookup.
- Pre-Season Recommissioning: Battery load testing, electrical system check, fluid level verification, and a multi-point safety inspection before hitting the water.
Tier 2: Weekend Warrior Plan
Ideal for: Local Key West residents or frequent visitors logging 25–60 hours per year (riding 2 to 4 times per month).
Frequent runs through open saltwater put steady wear on your intake system and motor. This popular mid-tier plan catches minor wear early, preventing costly breakdowns and keeping your personal watercraft performing at peak efficiency season after season.
What’s Included:
- Bi-Annual Engine Care (2x/Year): Two complete synthetic oil and filter changes, along with fresh spark plugs installed twice per year.
- Jet Pump & Intake Clearance Inspection: Comprehensive inspection of the impeller, wear ring, and intake grate for sand, debris, or salt buildup.
- Descaling Cooling Flush: Specialized descaling and salt-removal treatment flushed through the engine block.
- Steering & Cable Lubrication: Complete lubrication and tension inspection of steering cables, throttle linkages, and reverse buckets to prevent salt binding.
- Priority Service Scheduling: Fast 24–48 hour turnaround on any unexpected maintenance needs.
Tier 3: Avid & High-Hour Plan
Ideal for: Commercial fleet operators, tour guides, offshore anglers, or daily riders logging 60+ hours per year.
Heavy saltwater usage requires a zero-downtime maintenance approach. Designed for maximum reliability in Key West waters, this top-tier plan provides comprehensive mechanical care alongside complete exterior protection against intense Florida UV rays and salt spray.
What’s Included:
- Quarterly Servicing (Up to 4x/Year): Up to four synthetic engine oil changes, filter swaps, and spark plug replacements per year.
- Monthly Dockside Health Checks: On-site battery load testing, electrical system inspection, and full hull-to-deck seal checks.
- Jet Pump Assembly Replacement: Complete removal and replacement of the jet pump assembly (impeller, wear ring, bearings, and seals) to ensure maximum thrust and efficiency.
- Comprehensive UV & Hull Protection: Professional exterior wash, seat vinyl conditioning, and UV-inhibiting ceramic wax treatment applied twice per year.
- Offshore Reliability Inspection: Exhaust system check and hose-clamp tightening to ensure full safety during deep-water runs.
