Tips & Advice

Whether jet skis are worth it depends on personal interest in water sports and frequency of use. They provide great fun but involve maintenance, storage, and fuel costs.

For beginners, the best jet ski is one that offers stability, ease of use, and not overly powerful engines. Entry-level models from reputable brands are often suitable.

Jet skis are used primarily for recreation, including exploring, racing, and performing freestyle maneuvers on water.

After taking a jet ski out of the water, it's important to rinse it with fresh water, dry it, apply lubricant to moving parts, and cover it for protection.

Leaving a jet ski on the beach for a short period is usually fine, but it should not be left for long durations to avoid damage.

The distance a jet ski can travel on a full tank varies but is generally between 75 to 150 miles, depending on its fuel efficiency and conditions.

Jet skis cannot reach 200 mph; the fastest models on the market can achieve speeds up to 70 mph.

Storing a jet ski with a full tank of gas, along with a fuel stabilizer, is recommended to prevent moisture from accumulating inside the fuel tank and to protect the engine.

The cost to fill up a jet ski with gas depends on the tank size and the current gas prices, typically ranging from $30 to $50.

Riding a jet ski is generally straightforward for most people, especially those with prior experience in driving boats or other watercraft. Beginners often find it easy to learn with some practice.
