Why Bartlett Lake Is the Best Place to Jet Ski Near Phoenix

More water. Fewer people. Bartlett Lake covers 2,815 boatable acres — more than Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake combined. That means more open water to open up the throttle and fewer boats crowding your path on a Saturday morning.

Current-model, four-stroke machines. We're the only rental operation in the area running current-year, four-stroke performance models — not five-year-old machines held together with hope. Every unit is professionally maintained before each rental.

Direct dock launch. Your jet ski is in the water and you're riding within minutes of arrival. No hauling, no rigging — just show up, sign, and go.

48 miles from Phoenix. Bartlett Lake is closer than you think. From North Scottsdale you're looking at under an hour. From Chandler or Tempe, it's an easy 60-75 minute drive that puts you on open water most people from the Valley have never experienced.
