Sea-Doo Jet Ski On Its Trailer Ready For Self-Tow Pickup At Wave And Ridge In Apache Junction, Arizona
Pickup & Towing

Tow it yourself. We’ll show you how.

Every Wave & Ridge rental is pickup-only from our Apache Junction shop — just 20 minutes from the Canyon Lake ramp. We hook up the trailer, walk you through the launch, and send you off with everything strapped down. Never towed before? You will by the time you leave the lot.

How pickup works

Four steps from our lot to the launch ramp

We don’t deliver — and that’s on purpose. Skipping delivery keeps your rate lower and puts you in control of your own day. Here’s exactly how it goes.

1

Book online

Reserve your jet ski, pontoon, wakeboat, or UTV and pick your date. You’ll get instant confirmation with your pickup details.

2

Pick up & hook up

Arrive at 724 E Scenic St in Apache Junction. We connect the trailer to your hitch, check your lights, and load you up.

3

Get the walkthrough

We show you how to tow, use the brake controller if your rig has one, and back down the ramp — before you ever leave.

4

Tow, launch, ride

Head to Canyon or Saguaro Lake, launch, and enjoy the water. Bring it back full of fuel and on time — that’s it.

What your vehicle needs

Towing requirements, by rental

The trailer comes with every rental. You bring the tow vehicle. Here’s what each one needs — and if you’re not sure your vehicle is up to it, call us at (480) 637-4848 and we’ll confirm before you book.

Jet Ski

Sea-Doo Spark 3UP

The easiest tow we offer. Almost any SUV, pickup, minivan, or crossover with a hitch can handle a single jet-ski trailer.

Tow vehicle
Most vehicles rated ~2,000 lbs or more
Hitch & ball
2″ ball, Class I–III receiver (or bumper hitch)
Wiring
Flat-4 connector
Loaded weight
Light — well under a typical small SUV’s limit

No flat-4 plug on your vehicle? Adapters and wiring kits are cheap and sold at any auto-parts store or U-Haul.

Pontoon

Sea-Doo Switch

Heavier than a jet ski but still an easy tow. Plan on a mid-size SUV or a half-ton pickup.

Tow vehicle
Mid-size SUV or pickup rated ~3,500 lbs or more
Hitch & ball
2″ ball, Class III receiver
Wiring
Flat-4 or 7-pin connector
Loaded weight
Approx. mid-size boat trailer — we confirm at pickup

Wider than a jet-ski trailer — we’ll point out your mirrors and turning radius during the walkthrough.

Wakeboat

Centurion Ri245

Our biggest, heaviest rig. This is a real tow — you’ll want a heavy-duty truck, and we confirm your setup with you before you book it.

Tow vehicle
¾-ton (or properly rated) pickup — call to confirm
Hitch & ball
Heavy-duty ball + trailer brakes (we verify at pickup)
Wiring
7-pin connector
Loaded weight
Heavy — not a half-ton or SUV tow

Because of its size, we talk through your exact truck, hitch, and brake setup when you reserve. Call us first.

UTV

Can-Am Maverick X3

Two ways to go: drive it straight off our lot, or trailer it to a farther trail.

Bulldog Canyon
Street-legal — drive off our lot, no trailer needed
Farther trails
Add a utility trailer for $80/day
Hitch & ball
2″ hitch, 3,500-lb tow rating
Wiring
Flat-4 or 7-pin connector

See our utility trailer rentals for hauling your machine to Glamis, the Cinders, or beyond.

Towing FAQ

Your towing questions, answered

Still unsure about something? Read our full rental FAQ or just call or text us.

I’ve never towed a trailer before. Can you help?
Absolutely — it’s what we do every day. We hook the trailer to your vehicle, check that your lights and brakes work, and walk you through towing and backing down the boat ramp before you leave the lot. Most first-timers are surprised how easy it is, especially with a light jet-ski trailer. Take the turns wide and slow and you’ll be fine.
What size hitch and ball do I need?
A 2-inch ball covers our jet-ski, pontoon, and UTV utility trailers, paired with a standard receiver hitch (Class I–III). The wakeboat is heavier and uses a heavy-duty setup — call us and we’ll confirm exactly what your truck needs. If your vehicle has a hitch receiver but no ball mount, those are inexpensive at any auto-parts store.
What kind of vehicle do I need?
It depends on the rental. A jet ski tows behind almost any SUV, truck, or minivan with a hitch. A pontoon wants a mid-size SUV or half-ton pickup. The wakeboat is our heaviest rig and needs a heavy-duty (¾-ton or properly rated) truck — we confirm your setup before you book that one. Not sure where your vehicle lands? Call (480) 637-4848.
I don’t have a tow vehicle. What are my options?
There’s a U-Haul less than 5 minutes from our shop that rents pickup trucks for about $20/day. Book a half-day or full-day rental and we’ll take $20 off your booking to cover the truck — you just pay the mileage. (The credit doesn’t apply to 2-hour rentals.) Reserve the U-Haul ahead of your pickup time and you’re set.
Do the trailers have brakes? Do I need a brake controller?
Lighter trailers like the jet-ski trailer don’t require a brake controller. Heavier rigs may have trailer brakes — if yours does, we show you how the controller works during your walkthrough. If you’re towing the wakeboat, we go over the brake setup with you when you reserve so there are no surprises.
Do you provide straps and tie-downs?
Yes. Every rental leaves our lot fully strapped down with the tie-downs and safety chains it needs — that’s included, not an add-on. We secure the load with you so you can see how it’s done for the trip home.
How do I launch and load at the ramp?
We coach you through it before you leave: backing the trailer down the ramp, floating the watercraft off, and loading back up at the end of the day. Canyon and Saguaro Lake both have well-maintained public ramps. Go slow, and don’t be shy about asking a neighbor to spot you — lake folks are friendly.
Can someone else pick up and tow the rental for me?
The person who reserved the rental needs to be present at pickup to sign the rental agreement and put down the deposit — that’s the cardholder, 21+ for jet skis and 25+ for boats and UTVs. They don’t have to be the one driving the tow vehicle, but they do need to be there to sign.
Which lakes can I tow to?
Most renters head to Canyon Lake (about 20 minutes from our shop) or Saguaro Lake. You’re welcome to tow to other Arizona lakes too — just plan your tow vehicle and fuel accordingly, and bring it back full and on time.
