Choosing Your Adventure: Jet Ski Tours vs. Hire

Deciding between a guided tour and independent hire depends on your preference for freedom versus a structured experience.

Guided Jet Ski Tours: No Licence, Pure Thrills Perfect for beginners or those wanting a hassle-free adventure, our guided tours require no jet ski licence or prior experience. Our expert guides handle navigation and safety after a comprehensive briefing, so you can focus on the fun.

  • Jet Ski Tours for 1 Hour ($200): Explore the stunning coastline, spot wildlife like dolphins, and feel the ocean spray. Our jet skis hold up to two riders (max 200kg combined), so you can share the experience and even swap drivers halfway. This is the safest and most accessible way to enjoy jet skiing on the Gold Coast. Get a head start with our tips for Jet Skiing for Beginners.

Independent Jet Ski Hire: Freedom to Explore If you have a valid Personal Watercraft (PWC) licence, our hire option gives you the freedom to chart your own course. Explore secluded islands and enjoy breathtaking views at your own pace.

  • Jet Ski Hire for 1 Hour ($200): With your PWC licence, you get a top-quality, carefully maintained Sea-Doo jet ski to steer the Gold Coast's aquatic playground. It's the ultimate independent adventure, but remember to adhere to all local marine regulations for a safe journey.

Beyond the Ski: Pontoon and Package Deals

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, our BBQ pontoon boats and combo packages offer the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Relaxed Cruising: Our BBQ Pontoon Hire Gather up to 10 of your mates and enjoy a day of cruising, swimming, and barbecuing on the beautiful Gold Coast waterways. No boat licence is needed! We provide a full safety briefing to get you started. Our pontoons are pet-friendly and come with a BBQ, fridge, sound system, and rod holders (just bring your own fishing gear). You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages. No corkage applies, and we kindly ask that you enjoy responsibly and leave the pontoon as clean as you found it.

  • Full Day Pontoon Hire for 8 Hours ($590): An entire day of fun for family outings or celebrations.
  • Half Day Pontoon Hire - Midweek Only for 4 Hours ($400): A great midweek escape for a shorter adventure.
