“Jet ski was great fun and I was the only one on the water. The guides were great and the photos were awesome”
Meet Moments Watersports beside the Holiday Inn Algarve on Armação de Pêra Beach. After safety training, you’ll ride a 2024 Yamaha VX WaveRunner around a marked bay circuit, with a monitor nearby and no previous experience required.
“I’ll honestly admit that I don’t know how to ride a JetSki and it was extremely difficult for me to understand how stir the jet ski to the direction I needed it to go but at a lower speed… Ended up asking one of the guides to ride for me and I sat on the back… Nevertheless, it was an all round pleasant experience and I would highly recommend it. Love the fact that you can buy digital pictures from your activity directly from them at the beach for a reasonable price of €10.”
Ride a 110hp Yamaha VX jet ski around a supervised 20-minute circuit near Praia dos Tomates. You can share one ski with another person, choose a lively or calmer pace, and enjoy views toward Rocha Baixinha Beach. Staff provide instruction, safety gear, and insurance.
“Well worth doing great experience jet skin can go circa 70km/h, really nice staff and Praia da rocha is a beeutiful beach if you have others that don’t want to do activity”
Meet WaveRush at the Jet Ski Park in Calheta Marina for a 30-minute ride on Madeira’s southern coast. Staff explain the controls in Portuguese or English. Licensed riders may explore more freely, while beginners use a controlled circuit with clear boundaries, safety gear, and fuel included.

“A program maximálisan tetszett. Viszont a kifizetett díjon felül még plusz pénzt kellett fizetni a találkozási ponton, hogy a helyszínre vigyenek hajóval, ezt jó lett volna előre tudni.”
