Parasailing & Jet Ski in Montego Bay: Caribbean waters

Ride the waves and fly above them in the same afternoon

Parasailing and jet skiing in Montego Bay let you choose one water activity or combine both, with private roundtrip transportation from your hotel and an instructor for first-timers included. The entire excursion runs 1 to 1.5 hours depending on what you pick. Bring swim attire, water shoes and sunglasses; food and drink are available for purchase on-site.

The Experience

The driver picks you up from your hotel and brings you to the water. Once there, you choose: jet ski alone through the dazzling blue-green Caribbean waters for about 30 minutes, or parasail and jet ski together. If you go for both, you'll spend time on the jet ski first, then get strapped in and lifted into the air to look down on the ocean below. An instructor is there for anyone doing either activity for the first time, walking you through the setup and what to expect.

The jet ski option comes with a choice: ride solo, or add drone video and five photos captured from above. That footage gets delivered to you after the session. Parasailing pairs with the jet ski in the combo, so you're not choosing between them—you're doing both in sequence. The whole day, from pickup to drop-off, takes around two hours if you're doing the combo, or about an hour if you stick to jet skis alone.

What to pack: swim attire, water shoes to protect your feet, a beach towel to dry off, and sunglasses to keep the spray out of your eyes. The Caribbean sun is strong, so sunscreen matters. Water is included; anything else you want to eat or drink can be purchased there. Transportation is private and included from your accommodation in Montego Bay, so you don't arrange a separate ride.

Top questions

Can I do just jet skiing, or do I have to parasail too?

Jet skiing alone is an option—you can book the 30-minute jet ski experience by itself, or add the drone video package to capture footage of your ride. The parasailing and jet ski combo is separate, so you pick whichever suits you at checkout.

What happens if I've never jet skied or parasailed before?

An instructor is included for first-timers on either activity, so you get a walkthrough of the equipment and what to expect before you start. The instructor stays with you through the setup.

Is transportation from my hotel included in the price?

Private roundtrip pickup and drop-off from your Montego Bay hotel is included in all options. If you're staying outside Montego Bay, contact the operator about transportation costs before booking.

How long does the whole thing take from pickup to drop-off?

The entire excursion runs 1 to 1.5 hours depending on whether you choose jet skiing alone or the parasailing and jet ski combo. Jet skiing only takes about an hour total.

What do I need to bring?

Bring swim attire, water shoes, a beach towel and sunglasses. Water is provided; food and drinks are available for purchase on-site. You'll also need a valid ID so the operator can verify your identity before the activity starts.
