They do some great tricks are very entertaining plus for free? Love the group interactions and the view of the bay. Very nice. It's kinda hidden: go behind the mote aquarium! 5 stars from me for sure!!!

Wonderful water ski show right behind Mote Aquarium. We attended on Mothers Day. From young kids to older water skiers. It was an absolute delight. The show is free. They do have a concession stand and take donations.

Good ski show talent that is great for the family. Recommend bringing an umbrella for shade or getting there early so you can sit under a tree (those spots fill up fast).

Most of the flips, boat-o's, pyramids and other beautifully executed stunts were performed by teens - absolutely amazing! Their dedication to this sport showed in the enthusiastic and professional...

Everytime we go to this free show, it is different! My relatives that range from 2 - 80 just love every second! This week we got to see a black lab water ski and the skiiers did a flip over the announcer! Great fun, always a surprise twist in the show!

The water ski show is very goog and admission is free and they pass a bucket for donations. The facilities are a little dated but it is a great show.
