Experience Lake Keowee the Right Way
Lake Keowee is one of South Carolina's most spectacular lakes — 18,500 acres of crystal-clear, mountain-fed water tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Most visitors only see it from the shore.
On a Sea Jay Powersports jet ski, you see the whole thing: hidden coves, the waterfall at Party Cove, Jumping Rock, and miles of pristine shoreline that no road will ever take you to.
We make it simple. We bring the jet ski to you, walk you through everything, and send you out on the water confident and ready. No trailers, no long lines, no hassle.

Can I beach the jet ski?
To protect the equipment for all renters, beaching is not permitted. For overnight rentals, we ask that you use a drive-on jet ski dock for storage.
Are there any areas of Lake Keowee I should avoid on a jet ski?
South Carolina law prohibits riding between sunset and sunrise. Lake Keowee also has posted no-wake zones near marinas, docks, and designated swim areas. Our team will point these out during your walkthrough before you launch.
Do I need to pay a security deposit?
Yes, a $650 security deposit is required for all rentals. Payments are made securely online through Booqable. The deposit will be fully returned as long as the jet skis are brought back in the same condition they were delivered, with no signs of beaching or damage, and with full gas tanks.
Can I tow a tube or other watercraft with the jet ski?
For safety and liability reasons, towing is not permitted. This includes tubes, wakeboards, or any other watercraft.
Do you rent to groups with multiple jet skis?
Absolutely. Lake Keowee is a great lake for riding in groups. Book multiple units online or call us to coordinate a multi-ski rental for your group.
Do I need to refuel before returning the jet ski?
Yes. All jet skis are delivered with a full tank and must be returned full. Fuel is available at Keowee Marina and Sunset Marina on Lake Keowee.

What Makes Lake Keowee Different
Not all lakes ride the same way. Here's what to know before you go.
Crystal-Clear Mountain Water
Lake Keowee is fed by mountain rivers and Lake Jocassee to the north, giving it visibility and water clarity that most Upstate South Carolina lakes can't match. On a jet ski, you can see the bottom in the shallows.
Blue Ridge Mountain Views in Every Direction
You're riding with the Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop. The views from the middle of the lake on a clear morning are something most people don't forget.
Party Cove Falls (Waterfall Cove)
Accessible only by water, this waterfall is one of Lake Keowee's signature stops. Anchor up, wade in, and cool off under the cascade. It tends to have a lively social atmosphere on warm afternoons and is quieter early in the day. Plan to stop here.
Jumping Rock
Further up the lake, a broad granite ledge draws boaters and jet skiers to float and swim. The brave ones jump. Everyone else watches from the water. Worth the trip either way.
South Cove County Park
A popular boat ramp and lakeside park with picnic areas, a fishing pier, and sandy waterfront access. One of the most convenient Lake Keowee launch points for jet ski rentals.
300+ Miles of Shoreline
Lake Keowee's long, winding shape means there's almost always somewhere new to explore. Quiet coves, open channels, residential areas with docks, and stretches of undeveloped shoreline.
