Everything is dependent on the offer you select. A coastal licence and an on-site cash or credit card deposit are typically required for jet ski rentals.

Being of minimum age is a must, typically set at 16 years old if a boating licence is not required. Additionally, it is mandatory for safety reasons that you wear a life jacket, which will be provided to you in any of the formulas you reserve.

Can two people share a jet ski?

The answer is yes! For sharing your trip with your companion or perhaps two loved ones, almost all of the jet skis at your disposal will be two-seaters and occasionally even three-seaters.
