CLERMONT, Fla. — We are approaching the Fourth of July holiday weekend, which means tons of fun from, BBQs to fireworks.

However, if you're looking for another family-friendly way to spend the long weekend and cool off from the summer heat, look no further than a local family-owned business in Clermont.

In this week's Florida on a Tankful, Spectrum News heads to Lake Minneola to check out a local mobile jet ski business, J&N Powersport Rentals. 

Safety first is a motto that Nicole Rodriquez lives by. But she also lives by another one: Live each day to the fullest. And it's something she certainly does. 

“I always tell everybody this is one of the best jobs you could ever have," she said. "Like, look at this view." 

Out on the waters of Lake Minneola, Rodriguez, along with her husband Jose and their two young boys, has a family business and a fleet of jet skis to show off the beauty of the surrounding Clermont area. 

But this fun in the sun activity wasn't their reality until about two years ago.

Rodriguez was previously working as an administrative assistant for a vascular surgeon. It was a typical office job, but she realized after years in her career that she wanted more, and more time with her family.

So they decided to open a business that would reflect their lifelong passion: water sports.

They took a chance with it right around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and have seen it pay off with what has turned into a highly successful business. 

It's all about creating memories when Nicole and Jose take you and your family out on the waters of Lake Minneola, and because their family is so tightly knit you'll feel that sense of family when you're enjoying the day with them. 

They say that taking in the beauty of Lake Minneola and the surrounding nature of the Clermont area makes it the perfect way to kick back and relax during these hot Florida summer months. 

J&N Powersport Rentals is a mobile jet ski business, but the majority of its business is done at Lake Minneola. You must be over the age of 3 to ride, and there are other requirements for eligible children.

For information on rentals and availability, it's best to give them a call at the number on its website.
