Rental Overview
This jet ski rental is made for travelers who want a burst of speed on the water without committing to a full day tour. After meeting your instructor at the agreed point, you will receive a safety talk that covers controls, route limits, and how to ride comfortably according to your experience level.
You can book a 30 minute session if you simply want to try a jet ski for the first time or choose the 60 minute option for a longer ride with more time to play with speed and turns. Each vehicle can usually hold up to two people, which is ideal for couples or friends who want to share the experience.
Once on the water you will follow the suggested area for riding, keeping within sight of the team while still having room to enjoy the open bay. At the end of your session you will return the jet ski to the starting point, where you can collect any stored belongings and continue your day in Cartagena.
