Get ready for a thrilling adventure in Horseshoe Bay! Take control of your own jet ski and explore Australia’s largest hire area, with our trained team of guides keeping you safe. Freedom, fun, and wildlife spotting all rolled into one unforgettable experience!
Every hire adventure kicks off on land with a quick briefing. You’ll provide your details, sign the hire contract, and get the lowdown on our area and the rules for commercial jet skis. Then it’s time to get ready and hit the water! Once on the water, our trained guides will show you the basics, run through the gear, and give a quick demo, then it’s all yours to explore our 2 km² hire area (map included below).
Our skis are commercially registered, and there are specific laws you must adhere to while hiring. These include regulations on speed limits; all commercial skis in Australia are governed to 30 knots, fast enough for thrills and perfect for maneuvering around Horseshoe Bay. You also need to stay 200 metres away from other users, vessels, beaches, and rocks. Safety is always our top priority, so you can focus on having fun, spotting turtles, rays, dolphins, and even birds of prey along the way!
