FAQ's

    Q: What should I bring to the ski school?
  • If you have a ski that you regularly ski on, you should bring it with you. You will get the most benefit from your lesson if you are able to ski on a ski that you are familiar with. If you do not own a ski, we have skis that you may use. Bring your bathing suit, towel and gloves. You may also contact Miami Ski Nautiques at (305)438-9464, if you are looking to buy equipment when you are here. They give a discount to skiers skiing with us.

    Q: Appointments
  • We run a tight schedule, your ski appointment time is the time you leave the dock to start your session, not your arrival time. Please arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of your ski time. If you are running late please let us know so we may slot another skier into your reservation time.

    • Q: What are your hours?
  • We are open from 10am until 6pm, Monday through Saturday and 10-12 on Sundays. We are closed on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Please email ahead to make sure we are open as we close for vacation during the year.

    • Q: How do I make a reservation?
  • If you want to stay on site and ski with us, e-mail, text or call us to find out if the house rental is available, or check our house calendar. If however, you want to stay off site, at a hotel ,and want to come and ski while you are in the area you may do that. Decide how much skiing you want to do and what time you want to ski and we will make reservations for you. Please try to make your ski reservation ahead of time, this way you will get to ski the days and times of your choice. Our busiest times are Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving.
