Ski-A-Rees Water Ski Show
The Ski-A-Rees Water Ski Team puts on an action-packed, family-friendly water ski show every Sunday afternoon during their season, showcasing thrilling stunts, human pyramids, barefoot skiing, jumps, and synchronized routines — all set to music and narration. Founded in 1958, the Ski-A-Rees are a non-profit, volunteer-run team that trains year-round and welcomes skiers of all levels, from beginners to professionals. Their shows offer a nostalgic throwback to Sarasota’s waterskiing heritage and are completely free to attend, though donations are appreciated to support the team. 
Tips for Visitors: Bleacher seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. Arrive early — shows are popular and seating fills up fast! Free parking is available nearby.
