We attended this free show last week and it was awesome! Neither of us had ever seen this type of water-skiing before but we both thought it was amazing and he got some great pictures. Incidentally (for the benefit of the commentator), London, UK, at 4451 miles, is indeed further away from Sarasota than Los Angeles (2580 miles)!!! More

We watched a free ski show of some very good talent one Sunday afternoon. It was so crowded that the overflow had to stand along the shore, and unfortunately that day was so windy that some of the acts couldn't be completed due to choppy waters. But it was fun to see the budding talent. More

It was a very good show. Get there early to get a seat You can also bring a lawn chair. It would be nice if they would make a better ramp for the elderly. (ramp is dangerous) The food and drinks is very reasonable Will be back next year for sure. More

When we went and saw the show it was while they were still practicing for some upcoming events so some of the skiers were still getting used to riding, but it was a great show with lots of energy! You could tell that each one of them loves what they are doing out on the water! It was great!!! Highly... More

I was in Sarasota to visit my parents and took the kids to Mote Aquarium on Sunday , February 19th. The place was mobbed and I was walking with a lot of families to what I thought was a big event at Mote. It turned out to be a ski show next door. They had costumes, did tricks, and the... More

I really enjoy the ski shows that the Sarasota Ski-A-Rees put on! They are always entertaining and each time I watch the show I see something different and exciting. It is a great activity for the entire family to enjoy. They have very nice facilities including a concession stand for lunch/snacks and there is no bad seat in their bleachers.... More
