Default miami to bahamas on jet ski

does any do this ,been thinking about it we take a trip from the tickfaw river[springfield la.] to destin every year about 250 miles doing that in 2 or 3 weeks .but trailering the boat to miami is to far and seems it would be easy to zip around on a jet ski just thinking

Wouldn't it be easier and quicker to just have your friend beat you relentless with a baseball bat for a minute or so?

It gets done on a regular basis down here...especially West Palm to Freeport...a place that has stuff to do once you get there. Most of the guys that do it here have at least one boat run along to carry clothes, water and gear. It just makes sense to have water with you on the open ocean.

Those wet swim trunks get kind of funky after a few hours and there isn't much room for storage on a jet ski.

That would be a blast! You could install some sort of water proof saddle bags on the back of the ski for your gear!
