The offer
Frequently asked questions
How fast does a jet ski go during these sessions?
The operator controls the conditions and circuit, but recreational jet skis typically reach speeds that make the 20 minutes feel very short. Expect bursts of acceleration and sharp turns rather than a scenic cruise.
Do I need prior experience to ride?
No. The session is listed as 'Everybody welcome,' so no prior jet skiing experience is required. A safety briefing is standard before you get on the water.
What is the most intense moment of the session?
Most riders report the first full-throttle straight as the peak rush, when the jet ski lifts and accelerates hard. The 20-minute format means you hit that moment fast, with no warm-up lap to ease you in.
Is 27 € the total price, or are there extras?
27 € is the listed price per session. Contact Espace Quilly directly to confirm what's included, such as equipment rental or safety gear, before booking.
