Jet skiing in Antibes runs from June through September, with 5 options ranging from 80 € to 389 €. Three formats cover all profiles: short 15 min rentals at 80 € for anyone wanting a straight adrenaline hit, 1.5h guided tours at 170 € for riders ready to push further along the Côte d'Azur, and a premium 3h sunrise excursion at 389 €. Operators Jet 27 and Watersports Villeneuve Loubet launch from Villeneuve-Loubet near Angel's Bay and accept all levels. The 170 € tour with Jet 27 lists "occasionally sporty" as its physical level, meaning expect real throttle time, not a casual cruise. Decision rule: pick the 15 min rental if it's your first time on a jet ski, go for the 1.5h tour if you want sustained speed over open water.

Equipment
Wear a swimsuit and bring a change of dry clothes for after the session. Operators provide life jackets, but bring UV-protection sunscreen and secure any glasses with a strap since speeds on open Mediterranean water will strip them off.
Getting there
Operators are primarily based in Villeneuve-Loubet, roughly 10 km from Antibes: Jet 27 launches from Route du bord de mer and Watersports Villeneuve Loubet sets up behind the Bahia hotel at 23 Boulevard Eric Tabarly.
