Jet Skiing in Bermuda

Zipping around the island on a jet ski is a great way to enjoy high-speed thrills on the water, discover remote islands and coves and see Bermuda from a new perspective. 

  • Adventure,
  • Family Fun,
  • Friend Getaways,
  • On the Beach

Going jet skiing is an adrenaline rush that also gives you a view of the island you can’t get in any other way. You’ll zoom all over the turquoise waters that surround the island and check out otherwise tough-to-get-to gems – secluded beaches, hidden coves and sunken ships. You can even take a jet ski tour.

Never ridden a jet ski before? No problem. Outfitters will provide instructions on driving and safety.

Jet Skiing Hot Spots

The Great Sound: Bermuda's Natural Amphitheatre

Exploring the Great Sound – a closed body of inshore water with 60 islands or so – is one of Bermuda’s best jet ski experiences. You’ll glide through Hamilton Harbour and past yachts and sailboats on the Straits of Paradise. You’ll get a look at some of the luxurious homes on Millionaires Row (also known as Fairyland) and, perhaps most notably, you’ll get to travel along the exciting America’s Cup racecourse.

The Harrington Sound: A Waterscape Teeming With Life

Underwater caves and subterranean passages surround this inspiring and precious inland lake (connected to the Atlantic by a small inlet). Once in the sound, you'll discover remarkable volcanic formations and experience an incredible diversity of wildlife.

Bermuda's Barrier Reef: Colours Beneath the Waves

Bermuda has one of the healthiest and northernmost reef systems in the world – its surrounding waters are home to an abundance of fish and even whales during migration. Bring your snorkelling gear to get a closer look at this incredible undersea world.

Shipwrecks Galore

Bermuda is known as the Shipwreck Capital of the Atlantic with more than 300 sunken vessels surrounding the island, several of which are visible from the surface of the water. Take a jet ski excursion to see the HMS Vixen, whose mast sticks out from under the waves. Bring some fish food – the fish will swarm around you once it hits the water.
