Get ready for a thrilling adventure in Horseshoe Bay! Take control of your own jet ski and explore Australia’s largest supervised jet ski hire area, with our trained team keeping watch. Whether you’re staying on Magnetic Island or day-tripping from Townsville, it’s the perfect way to experience the island’s stunning coastline. Freedom, fun, and plenty of room to explore all rolled into one unforgettable experience.

Every hire adventure kicks off on land with a quick briefing. You’ll provide your details, sign the hire contract, and get the lowdown on our hire area and the rules for commercial jet skis. Then it’s time to hit the water. Once afloat, our trained team will show you the basics, run through the safety gear, and provide a quick demonstration before setting you free to explore our 2 km² hire area.

Our skis are commercially registered and there are specific laws that apply while hiring. All commercial jet skis in Australia are governed to 30 knots, fast enough for plenty of excitement while remaining easy to control around Horseshoe Bay. Riders must stay at least 200 metres from beaches, rocks, vessels, and other water users. Safety is always our top priority, so you can focus on enjoying the ride and making the most of your time on the water.
