Purple Ape

I had the best rental expierience at The Purple Ape. Matt and Dave immediately greeted me and were very friendly. I rented a paddle board and was also able to try out a hydro bike. Dave took his time to tell me the best techniques for using the paddleboard. He was knowledgeable and patient. I went solo, and asked him to take a couple of pictures for me and he was more than happy to do so. The water expieriences were safe and fun and I look forward to returning.

Cool shop just don't try to rent a jet ski because it will cost a fortune.

The store has something for everyone and great staff. Kids love the hermit crabs and the staff provide lots of info for proper care. Rental guys are awesome and know what they’re doing. Great time!

Had a blast on the jet skis today with Tom. He led the way out to the ocean to sight see a couple landmarks including a light house! Tom understood the assignment; he made learning how to operate a jet ski very easy for a first timer with his patient and welcoming attitude. I would return for the thrills and stay for the reward that you know what you pay for will go further than what you expected. 10/10 would recommend.

My daughter and I rented the paddle boards, what a fun time! Got a quick instruction and off we went. The staff was friendly and helpful.

My girlfriend and I rented a pair of jet skis for use in the bay for a half an hour and it was a lot of fun! Tom was polite and helpful. The price per jet ski was listed clearly On the booth as was the other restrictions. Those include that you leave a credit card to be charged in the event of damage or theft of the jet ski as a kind of security deposit. You also have to have a valid drivers license to rent the jet skis. It was great fun and I will certainly be going back!

Very friendly staff were very helpful and and talkable and honest

We loved our experience with Purple Ape. We did the HydroBikes and plan to return to Jet Ski sometime.

Great store and even better owner. Would challenge you to find a more commited and sincere local business owner. Must visit!!!!

It's a fun stop on our vacation. My granddaughter loves the selection of hermit crabs. We always have to take our group photo in the big chair.

Great place to stop at, Especially at the big chair. lol. One of my favorite stores.

Fun store vibe. Wish the selection was a bit more. Cute temporary tattoos, hermit crabs and jewelry.

We went to the Purple Ape today for my wife’s birthday and had a blast on a jet ski. The staff was very professional to us. Even though we could only go in the bay and not ocean for the small window of time in the morning (due to tide and wind), they were very clear about what is appropriate and why. However, I do see how this could upset customers especially if it means they can’t ride for the day due to safety and probably the law. Remember that when reading any negative reviews...

This was such a fun experience! Tom was so helpful with helping us plan time on the jet skis! He got us out as early as possible so we could still have the rest of our day! Definitely will be back for more!

Had an amazing time. Guide was really helpful but let us do our own thing as well. We were able to go out in the open ocean and control our own ride. Great time and would highly recommend if you have the time. Everything was super safe but also incredibly fun.

Tom at purple ape was so helpful! He worked with my group to get us out ASAP, super friendly staff, felt safe while also having a great time, will defiantly be going back again soon for another great time! Huge thank you to Tom and the team!!

I'm from CT and it's a must for my family and friends to stop by the purple ape every summer! Good people, and the jet skis are SWEET!! the owner is in everyday and will definitely kick start your vacation off properly.... Did I mention he drives up palm trees from Florida?! It's a stone's throw from the beach, you have to stop in!

Love the Purple Ape, great selection of items from gift ware, jewelry, sundries and t-shirts,hoodies ,sweats etc. Very reasonable, always on my list of stores to visit.

Tom of the Purple Ape was amazing, showed up early at opening and he made time to get us out on the jetskis to work around our schedule for our Block Island Ferry time. 10/10 highly recommend.

Went over to rent a jetski everything was pretty straight forward.. Prices paperwork video and we were on the list and ready to go. The workers were friendly and the instructor who brought us out into the ocean was great. Overall it was good experience!
