The 15 Best Jet Ski & Watersports Days in the Bahamas

1.Bahamas Cabbage Beach Jet Ski Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 285 reviews Our pick

Meet your driver at your Nassau hotel or cruise port, then head to Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island for a 30-minute or one-hour WaveRunner rental. After a safety briefing, ride solo or with a partner, follow a guide, and enjoy open water, waves, and room for turns. An adult must accompany children under 16.

“Rented jet skis. Seemed like they were way overbooked so the pick up was 30 mins late. Then we waited over an hour once at the beach for our jet skis (even though we reserved a specific time). They just couldn’t handle the amount of reservations that they took. Guys are the beach did what they could to help but they just didn’t have enough jet skis for everyone that rented for that time. Jet skis themselves were great - well maintained, worked great.”

You can drive alone or share with a partner. The water is often calm and clear, but allow extra time for shared transportation and pickup waits.

“The guide was easy to get in touch with and responsive, plus flexible when I wanted to change the time of my jet ski rental due to cold weather. However, it was a lot of waiting around for the taxi ride that was included to also pick up and wait for other passengers doing other activities. It was a perfectly working jet ski but no speed dial. The water off of Paradise Island is truly magnificent and like glass. The day we were there, the manager seemed to have some drama with local Bahamian customs officers and took off during our excursion, which was unusual. However, his team member brought…”
