Before you book, consult local regulations around jet ski licenses to ensure you’re equipped for the experience. Hit Cable Beach at high speed as you cut through the water and take in the view.

Do You Need a License for a Jet Ski?

Ultimately, licensing requirements vary based on the location and the jet ski you’re operating. While most operators provide this information in the booking, you should always consult local regulations before you book your experience, especially if you don’t live in the local area.

Restrictions are sometimes based on specific models or speeds, which is why operators select certain jet skis to avoid the need for licenses and ensure the safety of their guests. If a license is required, you can always book a tour with a professional instead so there’s no need to worry about licenses. If you’re struggling to find the correct information, you can consult the operator directly as they will have the relevant information.

How Fast Do Jet Skis Go?

The speed of a jet ski is dependent on various factors. Just like some cars are more powerful than others, the same is true of jet skis.

Ultimately, the model and engine size determine the speed. However, the water conditions do influence how fast a jet ski will operate. If the water is choppy, be sure to listen to the guide on what speeds to operate at.

While some jet skis reach speeds of 60 mph, others are designed for a more leisurely ride.

RedBalloon’s jet ski tours are curated for riders looking for safe, enjoyable tours for everyone. However, if you feel the need for speed you can move at a faster clip by booking a jet ski hire instead.

Is Jet Skiing Safe?

Our jet ski tours are safe and enjoyable for every participant, whether you’re an experienced skier or not. As long as you adhere to the guidelines provided before your jet ski experience, jet skiing is perfectly safe. You will be provided with the necessary safety gear and a safety briefing before you find yourself on the back of a machine.

Remember, safety first!
