Three ways to hire a jet ski

Guided safari

Ride your own jet ski as part of a supervised group excursion. No boating qualification is needed when it meets Article 7 of Royal Decree 259/2002. Route, time and marina depend on the offer.

Authorised circuit

Ride inside a marked area under the operator’s supervision. The licence exception applies to authorised circuits; check that the ride you choose uses this format.

Independent or day hire

This is a different rental format. An accepted boating qualification or navigation licence and an agreement with the provider are required. Ask about permitted waters, insurance and any deposit.

What to check before you book

  • Drivers must be 18, or 16–17 with written parental or guardian consent and a copy of the adult’s ID or passport. Operators may set a higher minimum.
  • Check passenger age, documents, weight and health restrictions for the selected activity. Conditions differ between providers.
  • Confirm the exact marina and meeting point in your booking; Puerto Colón has several gates and some rides leave from elsewhere.
  • Check what the price includes, cancellation terms, insurance and any deposit before payment.

From booking to the water in five steps

  1. Compare ride duration, departure point, price and participation rules.
  2. Choose a date and option on the provider’s booking page; confirm the total before paying.
  3. Arrive at the meeting point and time in your confirmation with the required documents.
  4. Follow the safety briefing and fit the life jacket and other supplied equipment.
  5. Ride inside the circuit or follow the instructor, depending on your booking.

Jet Ski Hire in Tenerife: 30-Minute, 1-Hour and Safari Options

A short session focuses on riding near the departure area. A longer coastal option gives the group more time on the water, while a safari follows a set route with a guide. Routes and duration vary by operator, weather and sea conditions, so compare the individual tour details before booking.

Where to Hire a Jet Ski in South Tenerife and Do You Need a Licence?

Puerto Colón is convenient for Costa Adeje and nearby resorts, but it is not the only departure marina in South Tenerife. For many guided tourist rides, a separate licence is not required. Driver age, passenger rules and accepted documents depend on the operator and must be checked on the selected tour.

FAQ — Jet Ski Hire Tenerife

No boating qualification is required for an authorised circuit or a collective excursion meeting Article 7 of Royal Decree 259/2002. Day hire or independent riding requires an accepted qualification or navigation licence.

The no-licence exception does not cover independent riding. Ask the provider about accepted qualifications, the rental agreement and permitted area.

The general minimum is 18. A 16- or 17-year-old needs written consent from a parent or guardian and a copy of that adult’s ID or passport. Operators may set a higher minimum.

It depends on the activity. Some leave from Puerto Colón; others use different marinas. Follow the exact meeting point in your booking confirmation.

Terms vary by provider and format. Check the final price, insurance, equipment, cancellation and any deposit before paying.
