This is not dry Jet Ski hire, and there are some limitations in place. Due to current insurance policies, all hires must be supervised by our friendly Poseidon Jet Ski Tours team. The wider permitted hire zone runs along the Strand. On the day, our team selects a smaller supervised riding area within that zone. Stay within the boundaries explained at your safety briefing. Don’t worry; we won’t cramp your style. Let loose within the boundary and see what the GTIs are capable of. We only ask that you follow the guidelines and rules set out by Poseidon Jet Ski Tours.
Hire times: daily at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, 12:30pm and 2pm. Private or extended hire by request.
