Corolla Water Sports - Jet Ski Rentals and More
Corolla Water Sports is one of the most popular and experienced water sports outfitters in the Outer Banks, specializing in fun, safe, and memorable water activities for OBX visitors of all ages. With over three decades of experience offering rentals, tours, and cruises on the sheltered waters of Currituck Sound, Corolla Water Sports is a must for families, friend groups, and adventure seekers looking to get out on the water during your Outer Banks vacation.
Corolla Water Sports is based in Corolla, North Carolina, at 798 Sunset Boulevard in the TimBuck II shopping area — a central location on the northern Outer Banks that’s easy to visit during your beach getaway. From this spot, visitors can access a wide range of watercraft rentals and tours that let you explore the calm waters of Currituck Sound at your own pace.
Speed across the calm expanse of Currituck Sound on a wave runner or jet ski. Rentals are available by the hour, and the staff provides a safety orientation so both beginners and experienced riders can have a blast on the water.
For a more relaxed experience, rent one of their 24-foot Bentley pontoon boats — perfect for cruising with family and friends, fishing, crabbing, or packing a cooler and enjoying a picnic on the water. Their sunset cruises are especially popular, offering stunning views as the sun dips over the Currituck Sound.
Explore Currituck Sound at a slower pace with single or double kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Glide through peaceful marshes and soak in the sights of birds, wildlife, and coastal scenery from the water. Kayak and SUP rentals are great for all skill levels and offer a relaxing way to connect with nature and enjoy the fresh air.
The Outer Banks offers some of the BEST sunsets in the country, and why not enjoy a sunset on the water?! Pack snacks and drinks, bring your camera, and set out on a self-guided scenic sunset tour — a relaxing way to end the day on the water with spectacular coastal views. These 2-hour tours are on their 16-passenger Bentley pontoon boats, and are a great way to make lasting memories on your OBX visit.
Corolla Water Sports also offers parasailing for those looking to take to the skies and enjoy breathtaking, high-above-the-water views — a thrilling option for families and adventure seekers. Soar up to 800 feet above the water on their top of the line parasail boats, and photo packages are available as well!
Reservations Recommended: Many rentals and tours — especially sunset cruises and pontoon boats — book up quickly during peak summer months, so it’s a good idea to reserve your watercraft or tours in advance.
Age & Safety Requirements: Jet ski and waverunner rentals typically require participants to meet certain age and licensing requirements (must be 18 to rent and 16 to drive), and safety briefings are provided.
Bring Essentials: Pack sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and towels for your time on the water. For cruises or multi-hour tours, a cooler with drinks and snacks is a great addition. A dry bag is a good idea as well, for any items you don't want to get wet, and you might want to consider a long sleeve sun shirt if sensitive to the sun.
Great for All Ages: Whether you’re traveling with kids, teens, or grandparents, there’s an activity suited for your group — from gentle paddling and scenic pontoon boat cruising to more adventurous wave runner rides.
With calm waters that are perfect for water sports, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a wide variety of options — from thrilling jet ski rides to serene kayak paddles and sunset boat cruises — Corolla Water Sports brings the fun of the Outer Banks to life on the water. It’s an easy way to add excitement, adventure, or relaxation to your vacation itinerary!
