Jet ski tours Marbella are the fastest way to experience the Costa del Sol coastline. From Puerto Banús, you can ride a Sea-Doo GTX Jet Ski along the Golden Mile, past Marbella Marina, and out to Cala del Faro. Whether you want a quick 30-minute blast or a longer charter that includes a free jet ski, we have options for every budget. All tours include a licensed skipper (if required), life jacket, fuel, and insurance. No hidden fees.

- Capacity: Up to 3 persons (rider + 2 passengers)
- Engine: 1.5L Rotax, 1630 cc
- Top speed: 55 knots (100 km/h)

What to Expect on a Jet Ski Tour
Your tour starts at Puerto Banús. After a 10-minute safety briefing, you'll head west along the coast. The standard route takes you past:
- Puerto Banús — the marina with its superyachts and designer boutiques
- Río Verde — the green river mouth, a good spot for dolphin sightings
- Cala del Faro — a small cove with a lighthouse, great for photos
- Cala Cortés — a quieter beach, often less crowded
- Marbella Marina — the old port with its fishing boats and chiringuitos
- Golden Mile — the stretch of beach between Marbella and Puerto Banús
If sea conditions permit, your guide may extend the tour to Cabopino or even Estepona. The ride time is about 20–25 minutes each way, so you'll have plenty of time to open the throttle.
Jet Ski Licence Requirements
Spanish law requires a PNB (Patrón de Navegación Básica) or equivalent licence to drive a jet ski. If you don't have one, you can:
- Ride as a passenger (no licence needed) — the guide drives
- Book a Mangusta 80 charter with a free jet ski — the yacht's skipper can drive the jet ski while you ride
We can also arrange a short training session for an additional fee — just ask via WhatsApp.
Best Time for Jet Ski Tours in Marbella
Marbella enjoys over 300 sunny days a year, so you can ride almost any day. The sea temperature ranges from 15°C in winter to 25°C in summer. Here's a quick guide:
- Morning (9:00–12:00): Flat water, fewer boats, cooler air (20–25°C in summer). Best for beginners.
- Afternoon (14:00–18:00): Warmer (28–35°C), more boat traffic, but still great visibility.
- Sunset (19:00–20:30): Stunning light, calm sea, and the sun setting behind La Concha mountain. Most popular slot — book early.
Winter (November–March) is quieter and cheaper, but sea conditions can be choppy. We only run tours when it's safe — your safety is our priority.
How to Book Your Jet Ski Tour
Booking is simple — just send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred date, time, and number of people. We'll confirm availability and send you the meeting point. No deposit needed; you pay on arrival.
For larger groups, consider a boat hire Marbella package that includes a jet ski — it often works out cheaper than separate bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licence to ride a jet ski in Marbella?
Yes, Spanish law requires a valid PNB (Patrón de Navegación Básica) or equivalent licence to drive a jet ski. If you don't have one, you can ride as a passenger with a licensed skipper on your jet ski, or book a Mangusta 80 charter where the jet ski is included with a skipper.

Can I take a passenger on the jet ski?
Yes, the Sea-Doo GTX seats up to 3 persons (rider + up to 2 passengers). The total weight limit is 240 kg. Passengers must be at least 8 years old and wear a life jacket. The rider must hold a valid licence or be accompanied by a licensed skipper.
How long do jet ski tours last?
