What to expect on the day

The meeting takes place at JetScoot Port Fòrum, an active hub for water sports, and the experience starts at 1:30 pm. Once you arrive, you’ll find showers, dressing rooms, and lockers — handy for freshening up after your ride. Before hopping on the jet ski, a quick briefing on safety and driving rules ensures everyone feels comfortable.
Once underway, you’ll be riding the last SeaDoo Jet Ski, with the instructor leading the way. Expect to follow directions closely, which is reassuring if you’re a first-timer. The scenery whizzes by quickly — the beaches, the tall hotel W, and the modern towers — giving you a memorable backdrop.
The 25-minute ride promises an adrenaline rush, especially if you’re a speed enthusiast. The thrill of skimming over the water, feeling the breeze and spray, is a genuine highlight. Afterward, you’ll have access to showers and dressing rooms, making it easy to change and head on with your day.
The value of the included GoPro video

One of the perks that stood out to us is the free GoPro footage. Having a video captured from your ride is a fantastic way to relive the experience and share it with friends. Reviewers agree that this addition is a real bonus, especially since it’s included — not an extra charge.
Additional considerations
While the activity is designed to be accessible, the minimum age for participants is 18, and a deposit of €200 per jet ski is required. A valid ID or passport is necessary for check-in, which is standard for rental activities.
Since the tour relies on weather conditions, a cancellation due to poor weather is possible, but they offer full refunds or rescheduling options. Cancelling more than 24 hours in advance allows for a full refund, providing some peace of mind if your plans change.
