Jet Car Riding in Montego Bay: 30 Minutes at 60 mph

30 minutes behind the wheel of a jet car instead of watching from the shore

Ride a jet car up to 60 mph across Caribbean ocean waters in Montego Bay for 30 minutes with an instructor guiding you through the controls and a certified lifeguard monitoring the entire time. The activity is a two-person ride, so you'll share the jet car with one other person. Round-trip transportation from your hotel, a life jacket, and all fees and taxes are included in the price. The whole outing takes about 90 minutes from pickup to return.

The experience

You drive a jet car, not a jet ski, across the blue-green Caribbean Sea for 30 minutes, reaching speeds up to 60 mph. An instructor walks you through how to operate the controls before you head out, and a certified lifeguard on a jet ski stays with you the entire time. The jet car is a two-seater, so you'll ride with one other person. Solo riding is not available. You'll need to wear a life jacket, sign a waiver, and present an ID if you're the one driving.

Round-trip transportation from your Montego Bay hotel is included, along with an air-conditioned vehicle and complimentary bottled water on board. The whole experience (travel, instruction, riding time, and return) takes approximately 90 minutes. Bring water shoes, a towel, and sunglasses. The water shoes protect your feet and the towel helps you dry off after you're done.

You can add a drone video option (a 2–3-minute video and 5 drone photos sent to your phone within 24 hours) or choose a KFC meal combo at checkout. If you pick the meal, specify which combo you want in the special requirements field when you book. The drone video and meal options are priced into the total, so there are no hidden add-ons beyond what you select upfront.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to drive instead of ride as a passenger: the jet car puts you behind the wheel for the full 30 minutes, which is different from a jet ski tour where someone else often controls the speed. The instructor and lifeguard stay with you the whole time, so you get guidance without a group.
