Many beginners have rented from Jack's Shack and every single one had a blast. If they can do it, so can you. The hardest part is deciding to go — we handle everything else.
How much does it cost and what's included?
Just $35 for a full day — that's it. No hidden fees, no hourly meters running. Other St. Pete rentals charge $25/hour or up to $80 for a full day.
