Summer in Cape Town runs from November to February. These months bring warm weather, longer days and generally calmer conditions along the Atlantic coastline. A jetski in Cape Town puts you on the open ocean, with Table Mountain rising on the horizon behind you.
Getting on a jet ski is easier than most people assume. You need no prior experience, no boat licence and no particular fitness level. The only requirement is a minimum age of 18 years to operate one yourself. First-time riders are fully guided throughout by a qualified skipper.
We run guided sessions close to the V&A Waterfront. Each charter lasts one hour with a qualified skipper alongside you throughout. Up to four jet skis are available per session, so solo riders and groups can both be accommodated.

What a Jet Ski Charter in Cape Town Includes
Our jet ski sessions in Cape Town depart from the Oceana Powerboat Club on Haul Road in Green Point. The club is a short distance from the V&A Waterfront precinct. The rate is R3 080 per jet ski per person per hour.
Sharing is available at an additional R440 per person. Our fleet includes up to four machines per session. A group of friends or family members can book several jet skis and ride together at the same time.
We provide life jackets for all riders. Wetsuits are not included, but you can bring your own. Wear comfortable clothing you can get wet in. A towel and a camera are worth packing too. Your skipper can take photos for you during the session.
For same-day reservations, contact Gabriella on 061 107 0536. For general bookings, call our office on 021 418 4074, Monday to Friday between 8 am and 4 pm.
How Jet Ski Sessions Are Supervised
Every session runs under the close guidance of a qualified skipper. All our staff hold RYA and SAS accreditation, a recognised standard of on-water training and competence.
Before heading out, your instructor will go over the controls, speed management, steering and safe riding zones. This briefing ensures you understand the equipment before you set off. Once on the water, your skipper stays nearby for the full hour. Our skipper also supervises guests waiting for their turn on the powerboat.
The briefing at the start covers everything you need to set off confidently on your Cape Town jet ski session.

The minimum age to operate a jetski in Cape Town is 18 years. Children between 12 and 18 may ride as a passenger with a qualified skipper. There are no height or weight restrictions. This makes the charter accessible to a wide range of riders, including teenagers.
